Camper vans are so much more than just vehicles. As your faithful travel companion they take you from place to place but for the duration of your trip they also become a real little home on four wheels.


And or course you want to be comfortable at home! Whether in the high season in summer or in the depths of winter, whether you own your own camper, motorhome or Off Rental, these decorating ideas will help you to turn your camper into a cosy retreat in no time.

Fairy lights

This well-known classic should not be missing from our list. In summer as well as in winter they give your camper that certain something with their dim light and provide a sense of security.
There are thousands of fairy lights in different sizes, colours, shapes and lengths so everyone is guaranteed to find a personal favourite. Solar fairy lights or lights with timers are energy-saving as well.

Your favourite mug

Sometimes it's the small things that make us feel at home. One of them is to always have your favourite cup within reach even when travelling. Coffee just tastes a little bit better in the morning and a cup of tea before bed is even more comforting.
By the way, you'll also find our favourite stainless steel mug when traveling with our Off Camper van!

Bedspreads

You might have already seen them in a #Vanlife post on Instagram: Bedspreads in the popular Boho style. But there are also other blankets besides this one so if boho furnishings doesn't suit your style you're sure to find an alternative that works just as well for camping.
For colder months, we recommend to pack cosy models to keep yourself warm. In summer, thin blankets are probably good enough if you need them at all - but they can also be used as a purely decorative item in your camper so it doesn't hurt to have one on hand.

Plants

Flowers and other plants, whether in bloom or a durable dried bouquet version, brighten up your display space and bring a nice and cosy feeling to the room. They look particularly good in a beautiful vase or flowerpot.
Just make sure you don't leave them unattached while you're on the road. Otherwise you'll have to deal with an annoying puddle of water and scattered flowers on the camper floor.
