RV Bedroom Remodel Ideas for a Cozy 2025

Posted on September 14, 2025

Okay, so I’ve been obsessed with RV camping lately, and let me tell you, the bedroom in my camper was *not* it. It was like sleeping in a box from the 90s. So, I started looking up RV bedroom remodel ideas, and wow, you can make a tiny camper bedroom feel like a legit cozy retreat. Whether you’ve got a 5th wheel or a little travel trailer, here’s what I learned. Plus, I tried a couple things myself!

Why Remodel Your RV Bedroom?

RV bedrooms are tiny, like, *really* tiny. But they’re your home on the road, so they gotta feel good. A good remodel can add storage, make it cozy, and even boost your RV’s value. I used our Bedroom Remodel Calculator and found out a camper bedroom redo can cost $500-$3,000 in 2025, depending on how fancy you go.

Paint or Wallpaper for a Fresh Look

RVs often have ugly paneling or wallpaper that screams “old.” I painted my RV bedroom walls white with some leftover paint, and it was like night and day. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is another easy option – I saw a cool geometric one on Pinterest. It’s super easy to apply, and you can take it off later. Check out our Painting Cost Calculator to budget it.

Max Out Storage

Storage is everything in an RV. I built a lift-up bed frame with storage underneath, like the one in this blog I found. It’s perfect for blankets and stuff. You can also add floating shelves or use baskets. I hung my hats on the wall with command strips – looks cute and saves space! Our Home Renovation Calculator can help plan storage costs.

Cozy Up with Textiles

Curtains, pillows, and a new mattress topper can make your RV bedroom feel like a hotel. I got some cheap curtains from Target and made my own using a dowel rod. Also, RV mattresses are the worst, so I got a foam topper for $50. Total game changer. Check out our DIY Project Planner for textile ideas.

Lighting for Ambiance

RV lighting is usually so harsh. I swapped mine for a battery-powered pendant light, and it’s so cozy now. String lights or LED strips are awesome too. Just make sure they’re safe for travel. Our Electrical Wiring Cost Tool can help if you need new wiring.
