RV Decorating Tips on a Budget
Do you want that "homey" decorated feel in your RV but don't want to break the bank doing so? Here are some tips we have learned at Veurink's RV Center.
1. Don't underestimate the dollar store.
It's surprising what you may find at the dollar store sometimes. We found these cute little succulents hanging out at our dollar store down the road. These little guys were only $1-$2. They add the perfect touch to a side table, bathroom corner, or kitchen counter for a homey feel in your RV. Better yet- you don't even have to try to keep them alive!
Succulents found at Dollar General.
2. Re-purpose your old home decor.
If you don't live in your RV and have extra old home decor laying around your house, it may not be ready to be thrown out just yet! If you are sick of seeing it in your home, add some paint or other little things to dress it up for a new look that you could use in your RV. This is a very cost effective way to add some spice to your camper. You could recover an old pillow with an old sweater you no longer use or some clearance fabric from JoAnn Fabrics (or your local fabric store). Paint an old flower pot or use a vintage kitchen bowl and steal some flower stems from an old table arrangement you don't use anymore. Throw together a new table arrangement for your RV. Old is the new-new!
Here's an easy tutorial on how to make an envelope style slip cover for an old pillow that we found on curbly.com.
3. Use old food or storage jars and boxes.
A can of spray paint can go a long way. You can also use the leftover paint from redoing your kitchen last fall. Grab an old pasta sauce or salsa jar, clean it up real good, and paint it from the inside for a glossier look or the outside for a more matte look. If you have a creative hand, you can also add some fun calligraphy or even printable letters/words off of the internet to trace on your painted jar. You can use the jars purposefully and put your wooden spoons in them or decoratively with some real or faux flowers to liven up your RV. Things that are normally thrown away or recycled can be transformed in a whole new way. If you have a rainy day while camping and are stuck inside anyways, get your creative thinking going and see what you can find to transform!
