Look no further! In this article, I will share with you 7 of our best ideas that help to transform any vehicle into a photogenic camper van. These items have not only helped our home look better, but they’ve also been really practical during our van life adventure.
Let’s get to it!

1. Kitchen Backsplash
My number 1 insta-look item for a photogenic campervan is this Kitchen Backsplash Sticker. Yes! This backsplash is a sticker, not tile.
The color scheme for our van interior is quite simple. White, dark brown, and light blue. So this Moroccan Tile-Inspired backsplash sticker became a great accent in our kitchen area.
Kitchen Backsplash Sticker
- Peel and stick
- Easy to cut and shape
- Light weight
- Easy To Clean
Beautiful and Practical
This backsplash is very water and dirt resistant. If you get water or oil splashes on this sticker, it’s easy to just wipe them off with a moist cloth.
Lightweight - Perfect For RV
The reason why we chose this backsplash sticker instead of real tile is weight. One tile piece is actually quite heavy, and you need to put 8-10 large tile pieces together with cement.
We already carry a lot of weight in our campervan so we wanted to limit unnecessary weight as much as possible.

2. Accent Rugs
Accent, But Not Overwhelming
Luckily, the rug we purchased snugly fits in the aisle of our living space. The rug stands out, but not too much so that it also blends in nicely to the surroundings of our van.
Even though I choose this colorful textile, it is not overwhelming the space.
3. Blackout Curtains

- 100% Blackout
- Noise Reducing
- keep out the sunlight & uv
- Machine washable
Protect Your Privacy
Good separation between driving seats and living area
Second, being able to hide the front cab area makes our van feel more like a real home space. I chose this warm beige curtain color so as not to overwhelm the our tiny space and the rest of the furniture inside our van.
Protect Your Van From Heat & Cold
Front part of the van can get really hot and cold depends on the season and weather.
These curtains helps to prevents hot and cold air coming into living area from front part of vehicles.
4. pillows and throws
Pillows and throws are the must-have items for your comfortable afternoon nap on your couch!
They are also great interior design accent items for any photogenic campervan.
These Woven Nook Decorative Throw Pillow Covers come with a different design on each of their four pillows. And we think they really look great on our light blue cushion covers.
Decorative Throw Pillows Covers
- 100% Cotton & Vegan Leather
- Set of 4 Covers
- Match with any interior
- machine washable
5. Gold Wire Board
We often get questions regarding our gold grid wire board.
When we first started our van life travels, our rear wall area and the side of our small counter were just blank white spaces. And we felt that there was just too much white.
Plus, our plywood cutting job on the back wall was not so great 
so we wanted something to distract attention from it.
So we installed this wire board. You can hang your photos or postcards with the provided wood clips, and you can actually buy a gold basket that you can hang onto the frame.
It is also nice to have more places for storage.
Gold Grid wire board
- Easy To Attach
- Durable & Long Lasting
- Match with any interior
- Comes with hooks & clips

6. fairy lights
Ahhh, a classic item for many vanlifers!
Fairly Lights are not a necessary item if you are keen on only taking daylight, but fairy lights are always nice option to get for some nighttime photography.
Fairy lights give a dreamy, girly atmosphere to your photos. And if you set these lights around your campervan, you can also have romantic dinners and/or movie nights!
I sometimes like to put them in a glass jar to have a little extra lights in the evening.
A nice-to-have item for any photogenic campervan!
7. Handmade baskets
