If you have been recently thinking about how to redecorate your static caravan, you aren't alone. One silver lining resulting from the coronavirus pandemic is the resurgence of the Great British caravan holiday this summer. Whether you already own a static caravan or are thinking of investing in one after a caravan-based staycation this year, there is plenty you can do to create a modern, relaxed and comfortable environment, perfect for getting away from it all.
Soft furnishings for your static caravan
Most caravans have a fixed seating area around the edges of the living space for one very good reason; it’s the best way to make the most of the available space. As anyone who has ever stayed in a caravan or sat on a well-made upholstered buttoned bench like Trent Furniture’s Berwick Buttoned Back Bench, knows, lack of space is no barrier to comfort and style.
The soft seating area is the main style statement you will make in your caravan and the first thing you will see when you walk in, so make sure it’s the focal point of your chosen colour palette. This is also where you will relax on chillier evenings and where members of your family are likely to put their bags down when they enter, so choose a practical colour in a hard-wearing fabric. Navys, greens and greys fit the bill on both the fashion and durability fronts and you can soften the look with patterns or lighter colours in your cushions, curtains and other soft furnishings.
Eat, drink and be merry
When the sun is shining, you will be outside making the most of it with early morning coffees and evening BBQs with family and friends. However, the unpredictable nature of the British weather means it’s important to create a functional indoor eating space that doesn’t feel like second best when the weather refuses to play ball.
Small upholstered stools complement your inbuilt dining seating and not only are they comfortable, they can be stored under the table when not in use. Or why not let your kitchen worktop double up as a place to enjoy a drink with a taller bar chair?
Make the space work for you
The beauty of redecorating a static caravan is that you can design the space for your own requirements. For example, if you hate cooking and never use the oven when you’re away, you can redesign with a hob and a microwave to suit your needs. However, no matter what your tastes, adequate storage, a decent shower and a comfortable bed are all key components in creating your very own home away from home to relax in. And don’t forget to have fun with your decor; after all, your static caravan is your happy place!
