Make Your RV Bedroom a Peaceful Retreat, No Matter How Small


Make Your RV Bedroom a Peaceful Retreat, No Matter How Small

If you're getting ready to move into your RV full time, or even just plan to hit the road for weeks at a time, making sure the bedroom is comfortable and inviting is key. There are some things you can do to make sure your bedroom is a peaceful retreat, no matter how small the space. We've got some tips to help.


Optimize Your Storage for your RV Bedroom


Before you can effectively design a comfortable space, you need practical storage solutions. Functional organization is the name of the game when you're living in an RV, and every square inch counts. Making sure you have a storage system that works for you will allow you to keep the bedroom from becoming cluttered and stressful rather than relaxing and welcoming.


These are some tried and true tips for storage solutions in the RV bedroom:


  • Invest in furniture that serves multiple purposes, such as a bed with built-in storage drawers or a fold-out desk. This helps to keep clutter at bay and ensures that every inch of space is utilized efficiently.

  • Utilize vertical space by installing shelves, hanging organizers, and hooks. This approach keeps the floor area clear, making the room feel more spacious and organized.

  • The space under your bed can be a valuable storage area even if you don't technically have a multi-functional bed. Use clear plastic bins or vacuum-sealed bags to store items like seasonal clothing, extra bedding, or shoes.


Choose a Favorite Color Palette for an RV Bedroom


Don't be afraid to redecorate in a fun way. Your RV can be redesigned with paint, wallpaper, or even textural elements on the walls, and you can also have fun with window coverings, bedding, and rugs.


The jury's out on whether bold colors or neutrals are better, so that must mean it's up to your personal preference. Many RV-ers find that bold colors work best in an accent in the small space, while calming neutrals are better for the main bedding, flooring, and walls.


You can incorporate accent colors through pillows, throws, and small decor items. Soft blues, greens, and muted earth tones can add a touch of personality without overwhelming the space, or you might love your favorite bright color as a statement that makes the room feel totally "you."


Make Your RV Bedroom a Peaceful Retreat, No Matter How Small


Maximize Natural Light


Small spaces can quickly feel cramped and gloomy if there is not good light. Keep windows and skylights uncovered or use light, sheer curtains to allow as much natural light as possible. Natural light makes the space feel airy and bright, contributing to a sense of tranquility.


You can also strategically place mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space. A large mirror opposite a window can amplify the amount of natural light and enhance the room’s openness.


Invest in Good Bedding for an RV Bedroom


A quick poll of people who have lived in an RV will show you how important it is to invest in upgrading your RV bedding. While most RVs come with an adequate mattress, you will likely want to add to the bedding to make it more comfortable.


A comfortable mattress is essential for a good night’s sleep. Choose a high-quality mattress that suits your sleep preferences, whether it’s memory foam, latex, or a hybrid. Most RV mattresses are chosen for their affordably and weight, but you can find something a little higher end that is still going to work for your weight requirements.


Next, invest in soft, breathable linens such as cotton or linen. High-thread-count sheets and plush blankets add a touch of luxury and ensure comfort throughout the night.


Layering your bed with pillows, throws, and duvets adds depth and texture, making it a cozy retreat. Choose a mix of textures and patterns that complement your color scheme and make you excited to curl up in your bed.


Make Changes Over Time


Remember, you don't have to keep things the way they are. Start with these tips, and make note of things you see in other RVs or little things that begin to bother you. Over time, as you get to know other people living in RVs and spend time in your new home on wheels, you'll find your stride and make yourself at home.
