Designing the interior of a small camper is like tackling an exciting puzzle. With the right concepts, you can turn a cramped area into an inviting, practical, and chic mobile retreat.
1. Emphasize Natural Light
Let in as much sunlight as possible to give your camper a more open feel. I always suggest adding expansive panes or overhead lights, which can completely transform the atmosphere of the space.
Might be a good match:
- Camper Overhead Light Fixture: Enhance your space with a camper overhead light fixture, adding ambiance and space.
- Wide RV Viewports: Add wide RV viewports to let in light and create a roomy atmosphere.
- See-Through Window Dressings: Let the light shine in while maintaining privacy with see-through window dressings.
2. Add a Desk That Drops Down
For working or writing, a desk that drops down provides a good place to work. I made mine to fold away, keeping the space open and versatile.
Check if these fit your needs:
- Table That Mounts on the Wall and Drops Down: Make the most of your camper space with a desk that folds away.
- Chair That Folds: Pair your desk with this chair that’s easy to store and comfortable.
- Organizer for a Desk: Keep your space tidy with an organizer for small items.
3. Add Art
Putting up some art or family photos can make your camper feel like home. I use strips that stick and come off to keep everything safe and prevent damage.
A few things you might like:
- Strips That Stick and Come Off: Hang art safely using strips that come off, great for personalizing your camper.
- Prints for Wall Decor: Add charm to your camper with prints. They are a great way to improve your space.
- String Lights: Add to your camper’s ambiance with string lights, creating warmth.
4. Make a Cozy Reading Spot
A small place to sit with a bench that’s cushioned and a lamp can be your escape. In my camper, this spot can also be used as a guest bed when needed.
A few choices to try:
- Bench With Cushions: Make your camper more comfortable with a bench that’s great for reading or hosting guests.
- Lamp That Bends: Light up your reading spot with a lamp that has adjustable brightness.
- Throw Blanket: Add style with a blanket that’s great for snuggling up with a book.
5. Add Plants
Plants can bring life to your camper. I suggest small succulents or planters that hang because they are easy to care for and don’t take up much space.
Items that may come in handy:
- Succulent Plants: Add greenery with succulents, simple to maintain.
- Planters That Hang: Add style with planters that hang, a good way to hang small plants.
- Planters That Self-Water: Keep your plants watered with planters that save you time.
6. Divide Your Space into Sections
Breaking up your camper into different zones for cooking, sleeping, and relaxing can help make it feel bigger. I once put a little divider between the cooking and sleeping areas, which made a cozy spot that felt like a mini-bedroom.
Explore these options:
- Folding Room Separator: Add privacy and style to your camper with a chic folding room separator.
- Small Book Storage: Keep your items in order with a space-saving book storage unit. It’s ideal for small spaces.
- Sofa That Converts to a Bed: Improve your camper’s living space with a multi-use sofa that functions as a bed.
7. Use a Bike That Folds
For outdoor lovers, a bike that folds can be a way to bring your favorite activity along. I always store mine under the bed, ready for the next trip.
Some handy options:
- Bike That Folds: Take your adventures anywhere with this bike that’s perfect for camper storage.
- Bag for Bike Storage: Keep your bike secure with this bag.
- Bin for Storage Under the Bed: Store biking gear in this bin, easy to access.
8. Put In a Small Kitchen
A small but well-organized cooking area with a small fridge, sink, and two-burner stove can take care of all your cooking needs. Keep it simple to make the most of the limited space.
A few relevant products:
- Small Fridge: Keep your food fresh with a small fridge that is great for small camper kitchens.

- Small Sink: Put in a small sink to make cleaning and getting water easy.
9. Put Up Nets for Storage on the Ceiling
Nets on the ceiling are great for keeping light items like bedding and clothes out of the way. I often use them above the bed to make things easy to get to without making the floor messy.

10. Add Color with Fabrics
Add some brightness with colorful fabrics. I think that bright cushions and throws add personality and make the space feel alive without being too much.
You might give these a try:
- Bright Throw Pillows: Enhance your camper with pillows that are vivid, adding charm and comfort.
- Colorful Throw Blanket: Add warmth and style with a throw blanket that’s perfect for cozy nights.
- Rug With a Bohemian Style: Transform your space with a rug that adds patterns and energy.
11. Opt for Furniture That Does More
Inside a compact camper, each piece of furniture needs to pull double duty. One of my go-to solutions is a convertible lounger that also functions as a storage unit—ideal for stashing extra bedding and outdoor equipment.
A few suggestions:
- Adaptable Sleeper Sofa with Storage: Get the most out of your camper space with this stylish, space-saving sleeper sofa.
- Collapsible Dining Surface with Storage: Make the most of your space with a handy, foldable dining surface for your small camper.
- Storage Footrest Seat: Use this seat for seating and as a hideaway in your camper.
12. Add a Pantry That Slides Out
A pantry that slides out can make organizing food and kitchen supplies easy. I’ve seen campers where this feature makes a small kitchen work like a much bigger one.
Possibly helpful picks:
- Organizer That Slides: Make the most of a small kitchen with an organizer that slides for easy access.
- Basket That Slides Out: Put in baskets that slide out to keep your kitchen items in order.
- Dividers That Expand: Use dividers that expand to organize pantry items in small spaces.
13. Put In Lights That Give Off Warmth
Soft, warm lights can make your camper feel welcoming and homey. I always put in LED strip lights under cabinets and around the ceiling to create a warm, ambient glow.
These products might be useful:
- LED Strips That Dim: Change your camper with LED strips that dim for a cozy and adjustable ambiance.
- LED Lighting Kit With Remote: Add convenience with a kit that lets you control the lights in your camper.
