20 of our favourite campervan interior ideas

1. Beach hut brilliance

Feel like you’re at the beach all year round by giving your campervan a beach-hut twist. The van conversion walls are light and rustic with bright curtains and cushions to evoke a summer feel.

Campervan example: Stan, High Wycombe

2. Rock a retro vibe

Install shiny chrome and bright colours to give a sophisticated yet cutely retro vibe, like this stunning campervan conversion in a red and white style that’s thoroughly modern with a vintage spin.

Campervan example: Geoff, St Neots

3. The brighter the better

Bright colours help to make the most of a small space, like this cute campervan decked out in yellow with colourful accessories dotted all around. Or keep to neutral colours and add colour in splashes with accessories, as in thisluxury VW available to hire in Manchester.

Campervan example: Honeybee, Lancaster

4. Or go for sleek black and white

If bright colours aren’t for you, why not consider a classic black and white décor? This van pulls the look off in style.

Campervan example: CampKing, Chester-le-Street

5. Make the most of all your space

You only have a very finite amount of living space to work with inside a campervan. Use every bit of it wisely – including the roof space! Many people use the roof for storage or extra bedding. This van build has added a nifty extra bed above the main sleeping space; we love the classy wooden interior too.

Campervan example: VW Fonzo, Halifax

6. Get creative

Making the most of all your space also means thinking creatively about every inch of your campervan interior. This van conversion has done it super smart, adding a TV and sunroof to the kitchen space to help keep renters happy in any weather.

Campervan example: Gina, Sheffield

7. Add bunk beds

Another easy way of using all your campervan space smartly? Install bunk beds to add two extra sleeping berths without compromising on space, like in this Mercedes Sprinter van.

Campervan example: Mercedes Sprinter, Norwich

8. Use doors as extra space

Don’t forget the doors when you’re thinking creatively about your van conversion space. This Belfast conversion maximises hanging space by adding hooks and holders inside the back doors.

Campervan example: MervMobile, Holywood

This fab Land Rover for hire in West Buckland nails it too.

Campervan example: Silver Belle, West Buckland

9. Save space for a separate bathroom cubicle

If you’re clever about the way you design the interior of your campervan, you may have enough space left for a private shower/toilet cubicle – a must-have for many campervan conversions. Here’s a great example of a separate bathroom cubicle.

Campervan example: Comfort in the Wild, Walton-on-Thames

10. Match interior with exterior

To make your van super attractive inside and out to potential renters, match the interior decorations and fittings with the exterior colour. This van uses red inside and out for a modern and stylish finish.

Campervan example: Hendrik, Leeds

11.  Add covers to the sink and gas hobs Don’t just think smart about how to use the space inside your van – use every spare inch you can. Many vans now have hinged covers over their sink and cooking hobs, perfect to double up as chopping boards or pan holders. We also love this clever use of counter space concealing a roomy cutlery drawer.

Campervan example: Morvoren, Helston

Campervan example: Van Diesel, Derby

12. Add a projector for movie nights

Having somewhere handy for a laptop to watch movies on is high on many campervanners’ bucket lists. This van goes one better by including a projector – pass the popcorn.

Campervan example: Ducatinho, Derby

13. Frame your windows

Something as simple as using bold paint around your window space can give a dramatic effect. We love the use of a strong blue to “frame” the window and really enhance the view.

Campervan example: Ecowagon, Redruth

14. Swivel those seats

Swivelling seats are one of the simplest and most effective ways to utilise your camper space to the max. Comfortable driving/passenger space by day, swish seating space by night… What's not to love?

Campervan example: Erik, Ashbourne

15. Build a charging bay

When you’re designing how you want your converted campervan to look, consider installing a charging bay. This way your phone and gadgets have their own space when on charge. This van has charging mod cons built into its modern yellow interior.

Campervan example: Elsa, Leeds

16. Get creative with rugs and blankets

Some campervan owners carry a rug that they specifically use outdoors. This expands your living area and makes your camping spot a lot more comfortable. Add a matching blanket to make things even smarter.

Campervan example: Bailey, Gloucestershire

17. Install a pull-out kitchen

A full pull-out kitchen is the best way to save precious space inside your campervan. These days, many fittings like gas hobs and sinks are compact and can easily be fitted in drawers at the rear of the campervan.

Campervan example: Cosy Micro, Grantham

18. Max out the kitchen kit

Many campervans have fairly basic kitchens, so adding extra kitchen hardware can give your van a real edge. This sleek VW conversion in Newport Pagnell has plenty of kitchen space as well as a full-size gas oven.

Campervan example: Gino D’Campo, Newport Pagnell

19. Max out the kitchen space

Pull-out shelves are ideal for campervans and smaller vans, as they get everything neatly and safely away, but are easily accessible when needed. Also using a bold red colour scheme, this Lake District van for hire gets kitchen storage perfect.

Campervan example: Mr T, Brampton

20. Make it a home office

Want to go on the road full time for a while? No problem even in a smaller van – this Newcastle van conversion makes it easy to work alfresco.

Campervan example: Ron Burgundy, Newcastle
