With more and more permanent or full-time campers, from families to retirees, settling into a camper has become about making their tiny home feel more like a standard house – a home with a theme, such as modern, farmhouse, retro, French, and more. Thus, the trend for decorating and remodeling RVs and campers includes using paint, peel-and-stick wallpaper, plank or vinyl flooring, updated window treatments, and adding throws and pillows. Wood accents go a long way toward creating a unique tiny home RV and camper. However, because it is downsizing, storage ideas come into play, making use of the smallest space or doing a double duty. A cohesive color scheme, combined with strategic lighting, enhances the new, updated décor.
Popular 2025 RV decorating trends feature light and bright interiors, with a focus on multifunctional furniture and an open floor plan. Many have decided to add efficient solar panels and use eco-friendly materials.
2025 RV Decorating Trends
Light and Bright Spaces:
No longer are dark, heavy colors being used for the new 2025 RVs. The current trend is for light, cool tones, such as whites, pale blues, greens, or grays, which create an open, airy feel and evoke a feeling of peace. To maintain a cohesive color scheme, consider using a color wheel to guide your choices. Pale blue represents the sky and water, evoking the sensation of standing outside with the sky above you or sitting by a body of water, while pale green brings the outside in. Both are calming to your sense of well-being. White and gray are cool as ice.
Open Up Your Floor Plan with Multi-functional Furniture:
If you have an older camper and are in the process of remodeling, you may want to consider upgrading your windows to larger ones; however, this can be pretty expensive. So, leaving the size alone, you could use window treatments to make your windows appear larger, such as roller shades, rather than using curtains.
You can open up the floor plan by downsizing your furniture and ensuring it’s multifunctional. A table that will fold away and, when needed, fit 2 – 6 people. A couch that has storage underneath or inside. There are several ways to make furniture multifunctional, and it’s an area where you can let your creativity run wild.
Although rugs can add coziness to your RV interior design, they’re harder to clean and can make your tiny space feel even smaller. The better options are vinyl sheet flooring or planks, as well as hardwood flooring.
Theme-Inspired RV Designs:
Interior design can incorporate sleek lines and modern, minimalist elements, or add something unique, such as personalized touches with accent areas, with pops of color.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper is wonderful. Depending on the paper design, it can hide flaws in the walls, add an area of interest, and can be easily replaced should you decide to change your décor.
Other options include paneling or shiplap on a wall or two to add visual interest for a more rustic feel.
RV and Camper Space-Saving Features:
Doors can be removed and replaced with sliding doors, curtains, or other creative options for added privacy. Go vertically in many areas of the camper with wall-mounted vanities, hooks, or other wall shelf storage ideas. To add more wall space, consider using under-cabinet lighting where possible. Other options include furniture that can serve both storage and daily functions, while still providing easy access to the storage area.
