Caravans are ideal holiday homes for many and with over 555,000 caravans in use in the UK, it doesn’t seem like their popularity will be slowing down. The only downside for some is the limited space you get in comparison to a house or an apartment so it’s important that you know how to make the most of it.
Especially if you’re looking to rent out your caravan for some extra money, styling your caravan efficiently will attract more customers. As a holiday rental, you can expect to earn around £400 in extra income for each week it’s rented out and this will only increase when you’ve designed an attractive holiday home.
Whether for renting or personal use, we’ve gathered some ideas on how to make the most of your caravan:
Reupholster the interior
If the upholstery in your caravan is beginning to look a bit dated or tired, you give the interior a boost by having it replaced. Exchange old-fashioned sofas and chairs with more contemporary designs to add a touch of modern luxury to your caravan.
If you don’t want to shell out for a full re-upholstery, you can make effective changes with stylish new cushions and throws.
Upgrade your storage solutions
When you’re working with smaller spaces, you need good-quality storage solutions to reduce clutter. After all, having many items everywhere without a home can be frustrating and doesn’t make for a relaxing holiday.
You can invest in convenient storage solutions with premium cupboard door catches and hinges that totally change the game. Spacious options can be found under seating areas, beds, and overhead cupboards which keep every belonging in its place so you or a holidaymaker can make the most of the remaining space.
Add luxury accessories
Caravan holidays are becoming more and more popular and to really make your holiday home stand out is to pack it full of luxury accessories that make it a home away from home. Some of the most luxurious features are air conditioning units, microwave ovens, and new heating systems that keep your toasty whatever the weather.
Not only will this increase your own comfort levels but these luxury items mean your caravan is worth more so you can increase the rent to cover costs.
Re-cover your exterior
If you’ve owned your caravan for some time or bought it second-hand, you might want to consider re-covering it’s exterior to cover up any wear and tear. It’s a fairly new concept but getting a vinyl wrap or decal can breathe new life into your caravan and make it seem as good as new.
This can cost anywhere between £1,000 to £10,000 depending on the make and size of your caravan so you’ll need to do some research.
