Decorating your camper to feel all nice and cozy?!

[thcguy12]

I am a man - therefore I would not say I have the best taste in the world. But I like a nice cozy getaway when I head inside my camper.

Does anyone have any ideas for fun ways to snazz up the standard trailer feel? Maybe new window curtains, tapestries, art, seat covers, incense etc?

Post ideas, photos, etc.

Yeah, that's nice but will you have Festus's original LP framed or the Marlboro Man:

Surprised that lasparrot had a Velcro issue when removing. I've always used it and had no problem. Suggestion....apply just a drip or two of Goo Gone to the top of the Velcro and GENTLY remove it. I used just a terry cloth towel dampened with a bit more Goo Gone to remove any residue.

Now re the decorating....for a "male only" trailer, I'd be inclined to go with either some sort of Northwoods theme - hunting, fishing, etc or if you have a particular hobby, that's the answer. On both our HTT and TT we used some small pictures of our dogs on trips with us - matching frames from Walmart and put up with a bit of Velcro and since we're big wine people, we had several things I'd done with a wine theme. Didn't change the curtains or valances in either since they were new. Something that has some significant meaning to you, whether the fishing/hunting thing, cooking, beer/wine or even simple outdoor scenes. You can stop at some place like JoAnn's Fabrics, Hancock or Hobby Lobby and come away with a plan. If you want or need new curtains, they usually have names of people that do custom work. Be sure to add some throw pillows and maybe a rug or two. I'll be YOU before you know it. Good luck and be sure to send pix.

I have a series of photos that were taken on various trips. I had them printed poster size and put in cheap poster frames (the kind that have plastic vice glass) and hung them with command picture hangers. Mine are all in the same color families and I have covered almost all the large areas of blah beige. I have a sunrise over the Mississippi, spring green trees reflecting on a lake, and a path through the woods in early spring. Change the bedspread to a color I like, add a couple of throws, pillows and small rugs (a runner and a couple of different sized rectangles) all from dollar store and it is much more personalized without being over the top theme.

just a note about using velcro to hang things - when it comes time to remove the velcro it WILL remove a swath of wall covering as well (don't ask me how I know). I use tiny nails which can be filled with appropriately coloured putty. I've even had command adhesive strips rip fragile paper. I do use them in some places though.

It is fun to make it your own. I have added family pictures mounted behind plexiglass on my fridge door. These pics have a way of turning to solid gold with time. Also have added functional storage for various stuff. My DW says this is tacky. Well yeah but functional. I want tye die curtins. DW says no way.

Here's a trick I learned from home decorating/design shows. If you look at most homes, the guest bedroom and guest bathroom will be in colors/styles that are NOT what the homeowner is most comfortable with. Those are the rooms that get the "experimental" treatment - because as the homeowner, you aren't forced to live in it 24/7/365.

I used that thought for my RV. Because my preferred style at home is cool mid to dark neutral colors, I chose warm bright color accents for the RV. This has made the RV a bright little corner in my shadowy world.

I added color through throw blankets covering the seats, contact paper to cover the dinette table, aluminum signs for the walls, bath towels, bed linens, kitchen linens, etc.

One thing I did that has gotten a very positive response from visitors was to add fringe trim from the ceiling.

I used small Velcro Squares to hang everything. They are light weight tin signs.
