Make Your Used Caravan Feel New With Decoration

One of the main complaints that people have of used caravans is that they come with an old

, outdated, seventies interior design style that they really do not find attractive. This could not be further from the truth there are plenty of newer used caravans on the market and, even if your van seems to be a little older on the inside, it is not something that cannot be fixed with some clever decoration techniques.

Curtains

The unfortunate thing about curtains is that they tend to attract a lot of dust (especially if they are not cleaned very often). Used caravans are also known to be fitted with lacy curtains that cannot be moved away from the windows, completely obscuring your view. Choose some material that you like and use it to sew some new curtains (using the old ones as the pattern to follow). Use large circular rings to thread the curtains onto a wooden rod for a "boho" style, or simply fit the curtains much as the old ones were (sans lace). If you do not want the hassle of dust or you are after a more modern look for your caravan, consider installing blinds.

Cushions and Upholstery

Quite often, one of the features that make your used caravan appear a little outdated is the material that has been used to upholster the seats. The easiest way to fix this is to buy some new material in a colour that you like and to sew up some new covers. You can use the old covers as the pattern for the new ones, being sure to leave enough fabric to make a strong seam. You can also add some throw pillows to your seats in a matching or contrasting colour. Not only will this add some colour to your used caravan, it will give people a very comfortable place to sit and enjoy the serenity of a holiday.

Paint

For the ultimate decoration to make you used caravan feel brand new, give the whole interior (and maybe the exterior too) a good coat of paint. If you would like to add more texture to the space, you could apply wallpaper to the walls of your caravan and paint the cupboards, seating and bed frames in a matching colour. Choose colours that will brighten up the space or mirror your personality, as darker or duller colours tend to age a used caravan considerably.

Finally, add some finishing touches to really bring your used caravan into the 21st century. Think about hanging some artwork or investing in some kitchen utensils and crockery that match the theme of your van "" the possibilities really are endless. It could only take an afternoon or a weekend to make your caravan feel new again.
