Six savvy renovation tips to upcycle your caravan and get back on the road
GETTING ready to take your caravan on the road, or summon up the motorhome from winter storage?
From sticky-back miracles to upcycling tricks, here’s how to renovate every inch of your mobile home without clocking up big bills.
STICK TO IT: Transform tired floors with self-adhesive vinyl tiles.
Dunelm has 20 per cent off selected lines.
For worktops, marble-effect contact paper is great.
You can also use other styles of sticky-back plastic on cabinet doors to hide dated woodwork.
SEW COOL: Give seating areas instant personality by turning old bed sheets into cushion covers.
Fold fabric around existing cushions and secure them with safety pins for a boho vibe.
Use non-slip bath mats, from £6 at Ikea, to liven up dull floors.
For curtains, clip patterned scarves or fabric remnants to tension rods.
This lets you switch up the look whenever you fancy.
GET YOUR GLOW ON: Create instant ambience with battery-operated tea light (£2.25 for six, Asda), displayed in glass jars or hanging lanterns.
For overhead lighting, stick self- adhesive LED strip lights (from £9.99 for two, amazon.co.uk) under cabinets.
STORAGE SAVING: Maximise space by using hanging shoe organisers as bedside caddies.
They are perfect for storing books, glasses and bedtime essentials.
For kitchen tidying, stick magnetic strips (£8, B&Q) to walls to hold knives and spice tins to free drawer spaces.
MAKE AN ENTRANCE: Make bunting by cutting triangles from old tea towels and clipping to string with pegs.
Or try solar-powered fairy lights (from £3.99, Home Bargains) wrapped around your awning poles for magical lighting that charges itself.
ART ATTACK: Lean clipboards against any sides or use adhesive hanging strips to attach them to cabinets.
Use them as makeshift picture frames to display postcards or kids’ drawings, adding a bit of art and colour to your caravan.
