So you’ve got yourself a caravan, but that’s all it feels like. It feels alien, like its not yours. Its not a home. Here are some simple things you can do to make your caravan feel like a second home.
Â
Accessorise
If you love the caravan but want to add some special touches, you can add little accessorises in each room. Cushions, blankets and little trinkets can make a world of difference. To make your caravan like your home away from home, you should also try adding family photos. That way, it will look just like your home, away from home.
Â
Renovate
Caravans can be a little dated when it comes to the interior. So why not put your own stamp on it?
Although it is a more drastic approach to making your caravan a home, if you already have things that need replacing, you might as well kill two birds with one stone. Relatively easy renovations are things like reupholstering the sofas and changing the curtains from the old-fashioned floral fabric to something more suited to you.
Â
Awnings
It can be weird going from your spacious home to a cramped caravan. Simple solution? An awning. Awnings are a caravan extension, like a conservatory, which are great for adding an extra bit of space. You can also use them as an outdoor dining space, kids play area, or somewhere to relax and enjoy the view.
Â
Lighting
When you are making somewhere a home, you want it to feel warm and cosy, and an easy way to do that is with the lighting. Some caravans come with harsh, cool lighting that make the place feel more clinical than cosy. Instead, change the lights for warm bulbs and use lamps and candles for a snig, homey feel. Just make sure any lamps and loose items are secure when in transit.
