Motorhome interior ideas

Once you’ve got your vehicle sorted, it’s time to think about motorhome interior ideas. Don’t just slap on any old paint or chuck in a few cushions – taking time on your motorhome’s living space can really make the difference in its overall vibe, as well as make it more attractive to potential hirers so you can earn back the cost of its decoration! Pick up some inspiration below with our 20 top motorhome interior ideas.

20 Motorhome interior ideas

1. Think theme

Deciding on a particular theme for your motorhome is a fun way to decorate the interior, like this funky beach theme in Ragamuffin, Somerset. You could also have ajungle theme, colourfully family-friendly, five-star hotel… let your imagination run wild! We love how Ragamuffin combines its beach theme with colourful mosaic tiling.

2. Get colourful

Colour can be added to your motorhome interior in loads of easy ways, and is one of the simplest techniques to make everything look cosily homely. “Amory” motorhome in the Forest of Dean adds colour in features from bright cushions to a stylish copper kettle – and on the outdoor seating too.

3. Go five-star

Having a fixed space doesn’t mean skimping on the luxuries. Plenty of our motorhomes for hire in the UK are decked out to hotel standards, perfect for making your motorhome attractive to potential guests. The bed and bedding space in Funbus, a converted bus in Wakefield, wouldn’t look out of place in a luxury hotel.

4. Make your bed special

Even if you can’t quite stretch to five-star style, the bed is the most important feature in any motorhome! This family-friendly motorhome in Glasgow uses a mezzanine double bed to leave room for two singles on the “ground floor”.The Voyager, Liverpool, utilises the same idea, whileTerry in Cheshire adds smart-looking bunk beds.

Think inventively too – who says a bed has to be rectangular! We love this island-style inLove2roam Comfort, Boston.

5. Splash colour on your bedding

Just as the bed’s important in creating your overall interior effect, so is the bedding. Leave a bit of money in your budget to add quality sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases – they’ll be lovely to snuggle into after a day on the road, and will make your motorhome look hotel-smart for potential guests.

Using white or cream bedding is a deceptively simple way to keep things looking smart in your snooze space – you can then add splashes of colour with runners and cushions.Martha in Carmarthenshire does this to great effect with a green runner and green patterned cushions on the bed, a theme continued throughout the motorhome.

6. Stain the walls and fixings

Most motorhomes are kitted out in a wooden effect, whether that’s solid timber fitting or easier to fit plywood. You can stain (then wax) either to create a polished and professional look, like motorhome Elsa in West Yorkshire. Note the stylish double bed, clever bedside shelving and mounted TV too!

7. Add stylish flooring

Don’t forget about your motorhome flooring when it comes to adding a tasteful wood effect! Roller Team in Warrington has flooring that would suit even the most luxurious home. Also in Lancashire, thisluxury 6-7-berth motorhome has a similar effect.

You can add tongue and groove style wooden planking to your motorhome floor, or keep it budget-friendly by adding a quality vinyl floor.

8. Mix and match

Of course, you don’t have to stick to one type of material for your motorhome interior! Karbon in Hertfordshire uses a mix of leather seating, wooden interior floors, and bright fittings all matching up in an overall sophisticated style.

9. Get clever with your kitchen

There are countless ways to install or add to a motorhome kitchen. Most motorhome owners’ first priority will be to have something functional, but we highly recommend getting decorative after that! Motorhome kitchen space will be one of the most visible areas in your vehicle, so having a smart look quickly adds to the overall effect.Love2roam Comfort in Bolton does this in style, as doesAdventure in Swindon.

10. Add a cover to your sink

Your motorhome kitchen will be one of the most visible areas of your van, but also among the most used. Combine function and style with a hinged cover for your sink, which can also double up as a chopping board.

Pegaso in Bridgnorth creates a modern and tidy effect by using covers for the gas hob as well as the sink, as doesHallie in Newcastle.Moroccan Motorhome, Manchester, keeps it simple by using a wooden chopping board as the sink cover.

(And speaking of kitchens, a full-size oven is one of the most luxurious motorhome features you can offer to hirers! SeeCoddiwomble in Bournemouth for an idea of how it all fits together.)

11. Double your space

As with your sink, be inventive with storage in every inch of your motorhome – with every feature, always think about how you can extend or double its use. Georgie Girl, a 6-berth Chausson Best in Eastbourne, uses a popular motorhome technique of two tables in one to double available surface space. And check out the nifty cup and glass space inExplore, Swindon.

12. Add windows wherever possible

Fit in enough windows to let in lots of light. As with everything in motorhomes, think inventively! You don’t have to stick with the number of windows already fitted – add more if you can. An upper window in this 6-berth motorhome in Preston combines double bed space with light and ventilation.

13. Get inventive with upholstery

Some motorhome owners decide to stick with the upholstery already fitted in the van, but adding your own touch is another easy way to make your motorhome look stylish and cosy. It can be as simple as draping throws or blankets over seating areas and adding cushions, as withRosie in Bristol.Woody in Bicester also uses purple, this time matching it with the curtains.

14. Add plants and flowers

The simplest, most cost-effective way to add a quick splash of colour to your motorhome? Add flowers! Bouquets, plants or even a couple of single flowers in a simple vase instantly make a vehicle look like home, such as inMo Ho in Bournemouth andPeggy2 in Horley.

Bertha in Coleraine adds an LED candle to the flower arrangement, whileTaylor Made in Ayr makes gorgeous use of bathroom succulents.

15. Use mood lighting

The lighting possibilities for motorhomes and campervans really are endless. We love the multi-coloured lanterns inRagamuffin, above, as well as the soft and [cosy] mood lighting used in this motorhome in Nottingham. Adding this style of lighting to the bedding as well as the living area creates a cosy and coordinated effect. Or use low-level lights in the bathroom, as inM’Lady in Leeds.

16. Make your bathroom smart

OK, it’s not a place you’ll spend (or want to spend) much time in, but don’t neglect the bathroom when thinking of your motorhome interior. The jungle theme inMartha above continues into a cute shower space, whileThe Opulent Explorer in Shropshire goes for a five-star feel. Or use a chrome effect, likeCollin in Nottingham.

17. Buy chic curtains

Whether your personal style goes for bright colours or prefers something more muted, elegant curtains are an easy way to make your motorhome look smart.Lexie, a luxury 2-berth automatic motorhome in Gloucestershire, goes one further by matching its colourful curtains to the seating trims.

18. Show off your style!

We love the style shown in Newport-on-tay rental Turtle at the top of this guide, where the owners have used bright green for fittings and bedding, matched with waxed wood and a fab multicoloured effect in the rest of the motorhome. They’ve even added a wood-burning stove!

19. Add a “smart” TV

A TV or other entertainment system is a popular choice for many motorhome owners (and hirers). But don’t just add a screen anywhere it will fit – make it part of your motorhome interior.Marley in Torquay combines practicality with style by mounting a TV within easy viewing of a comfy lounging space. AndHerbie in Runcorn goes for a cinema vibe in its interior by adding a film projector.

20. Fit a bathroom cupboard

As we’ve said, motorhomes and other # vanlife vehicles need to use space as smartly as possible. You might think there isn’t room in a motorhome bathroom for a cupboard to hold cosmetics and toiletries, but this stylish North Yorkshire motorhomeshows otherwise. Note how the toothbrush holder is set into (rather than on) the shelf to keep it in place – that’s another smart use of available space.

Also in Silver, the below pic shows a cleverly placed tiny shelf on the side of the bed. As we say, utilise every scrap of space you can!
