What Your Van Conversion Needs for Maximum Comfort

Tuesday 31st January 2023

If you make your van feel like a tiny home, then you will always have your home with you everywhere you go. But it's not always easy to 'live small', and you may crave your comforts from life off of 4 wheels. Fortunately, there's many simple comforts that can make your campervan conversion really feel like home! A relaxed environment makes for a less stressful experience, entertaining evenings, and wonderful memories.
Making Your Camper a Home
Whether you're moving into your campervan to experience full-time vanlife or you're rolling out for an epic weekend trip, setting up your space to feel more like home is important. Creating the perfect space to relax and unwind in will be very personal to everyone, and that's the beauty of putting your own stamp on your van conversion!
We've put together a few of the different ways you can consider to help make your van a home.
Decorate Your Space

Whether you're deciding to embark on converting your own van home or buying a ready-made campervan, decorating your new space is essential to enjoying life on the road. When you decide to buy a house, you'll likely commit to redecoration and renovation plans to personalise the space to your own tastes. You can also do this in a campervan.
Painting the cabinets to suit your style, using textiles such as rugs and cushion covers, and including some plants in your living space are an easy way to craft your own campervan. Striving to add something unique will make your space feel like your own.
Stay Connected... Or Not!

Perhaps one of the reasons you want to live life on the road is the sense of freedom from the daily grind, but regardless of your motivations, you still may want to watch your favourite TV programme or catch up on the local news. Installing the correct technology in your campervan and planning for it within your conversion budget will ensure you never miss a thing (if you don't want to) whilst on the move.
Get Organised
It's so important to be organised in a small space, your van home won't be comfortable to travel and sleep in if there's clutter everywhere. It's essential to make sure that you have a dedicate space for everything that you wish to bring on your road trip, such as mountain bikes, kayaks, or hiking gear.
Staying organised not only goes for your outdoor gear but also daily items that you'll want to hand. Cooking won't be enjoyable if you must spend unnecessary time looking for every ingredient and pan, knowing where everything is makes a place feel like home.
Create an Outdoors Living Space
You've got the world on your doorstep, why not carve out a little for your very own shaded space right outside your van? When you're staying somewhere for longer than a day, it's great to have the choice to be able to set-up your camper van awning to enjoy the comforts of the inside of your van in the sun. Enjoy a cup of coffee outside, watch the sunrise, or even BBQ to the backdrop of birds tweeting into the evening.
Embrace the Darkness
As the evenings roll in, you may feel a little bit exposed parked up in the woods, on the beach, or on the road. Although your high-quality privacy tinted windows are sure to block out some of the light, perhaps you're missing your 100% light-proof curtains from home. Fortunately, with thermal blackout curtains you can bring that luxury with you on your journey.
A blackout curtain for your campervan is perfect for privacy, security, and your comfort.

There are countless fun, exciting ways to spruce up your campervan to feel like a home away from home. From simply throwing a decorative pillow on the bed, hanging your favourite artwork, or adding in a plant can transform your tiny home on wheels.
