Maybe a lamp to give off cozier lighting.

There are all kinds of tricks you can find to help secure things in places so they don’t shift around as you travel.
2. Do some painting

You can paint the walls or even the cabinets in your kitchenette. And, If you have an old RV this is also a great way to update the look and hope CreateSpace that you love.
3. Put up some pictures
Hang pictures in your RV of things you love. It could be pictures of your family or of locations that you visited. A lot of people just use velcro straps to attach the pictures to the wall. Make sure you find lightweight picture frames to help them stay on the wall better as you drive.
4. Put down a few rugs
Even if you love the floors that you have in your RV it can make it feel even cozier when you throw a couple of rugs down in your living space. Finding rugs that have rubber backing can help them not to slide around as you drive or as you walk on them.
5. Get the RV organized

Just because your dining table transforms into a bed if you need it doesn’t mean that you can’t dress it up beautifully during the day. And, there’s even more reason to do it if you don’t have a table that converts to a sleeping space. Try putting on a tablecloth, add a centerpiece, or use placemats. Look for ways that you can dress your table up.
