We believe that designing a camper van interior that feels like a tiny home is an important part of long term van life. After a long day of exploring, wouldn’t you want to come back to a home that felt inviting and relaxing?
In our van, we mad efforts into making our vehicle feel like an actual home. From our kitchen backsplash selection, to our rugs, and even lighting, many of our choices have helped
In this article, I will share with you 7 of our best ideas that help to transform your adventure 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
Adding kitchen backsplash is a great way to make your van interior picture-perfect!
It presents a wonderful opportunity for adding a splash of color to space. This is especially useful if you have white walls, as it provides depth and transforms your camper into a comfortable living space instead of just a recreational vehicle.
Stick and peel kitchen backsplash is a great option for a camper van interior because it is way more lightweight than the regular tiles, easy to install, requiring no special tools or adhesives, and it can be removed easily if desired. The adhesive backing makes it easy to adhere to any surface, and it is resistant to moisture and heat. This makes it perfect for use in a camper van kitchen, where it may be subjected to splashes of water and high levels of heat. It comes in a variety of styles and colors making it easy to find one that suits any design aesthetic.
It's lightweight, easy to install & clean. Remarkable durability, which we've proven over the last four years of extensive use in our van.
2. Accent Rugs
The addition of a floor rug in your van interior is a small change that can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your space. It’s incredible how something as simple as a rug can add a pop of color, create uniqueness, and transform your van into an Instagram-worthy home on wheels. Not only do rugs provide warmth and texture to your floors, but they also serve as a visual centerpiece that brings all design elements together.
A rug instantly creates a relaxing and cozy vibe, making your van a welcoming haven for you and your loved ones to enjoy. No matter if you choose a bold, statement piece or a subtle, neutral pattern, a rug is an essential element that can elevate the style and comfort of your van.
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of discovering a true treasure during your travels. Our journey through Mexico opened up a world of colorful and expertly crafted Mexican wool rugs that left them completely enamored.
For our camper van interior, we have opted for a neutral color scheme, with just a few carefully chosen accent pieces that truly stand out. This way, we can incorporate all the vibrant, handmade rugs they’ve collected from artisans across Mexico. By taking the time to surround themselves with beautiful objects and memories, this adventurer has truly made every moment of their journey worthwhile.

100% Blackout Curtain is a highly valuable item for your photogenic camper van. It serves a significant role in separating the living space from the front part of the van, where the driving seat resides. This ensures that your photo captures the homely and inviting ambiance of your camper van without including any unwanted structures or colors.
Additionally, the curtains offer excellent privacy and function as extra insulation to keep the van warm during colder temperatures and cool in hotter weather. While it may not be the fanciest item on this list, the Blackout Curtain is an essential accessory for anyone looking to elevate the look and functionality of their camper van.

Throw pillows are a fantastic way to add color, texture, and style to your camper van interior.

Not only are they aesthetically pleasing for photoshoot, but they are also functional as they provide additional comfort and support when sitting or lounging on a sofa or bed, making them perfect for relaxation spaces.
They can also provide a quick and affordable way to update the look of a van interior without having to completely redecorate. With so many options available, throw pillows are an easy and versatile addition to any interior decoration.
Thoughtfully designed throw pillows are some of the best ways to decorate the inside of a camper van. We like that the colors of these pillows are more muted and delicate, which helps to simplify the interior design.
5. Gold Wire Board
Display space offers a place to showcase treasured possessions and memories, such as family photos or artwork, and adds a touch of personality to a room.
This gold wire board can be a decorative element in and of itself, such as a stylish bookshelf or a unique art installation. In our case it was perfect for storage and organization, keeping clutter at bay while keeping items easily accessible. Also, it creates a sense of visual interest and depth within a van interior, making it more visually appealing and enjoyable to spend time in.
