Festive RV Decorating Ideas for the Holiday Season

The lights are up, the Christmas music is playing, and the hot cocoa is flowing. That can only mean one thing: the holiday season is here! It's time to bring that festive flair into your RV. To get your creative juices flowing, we've compiled six RV decorating ideas to add Christmas cheer to your holidays.

Holiday Decorating Tips for Your RV

1. Use Indoor and Outdoor Lights

A variety of holiday lights is key to decorating your RV. String indoor lights along the walls for a cozy, inviting effect. Be sure to use LED lights since they generate very little heat and last significantly longer than conventional lights.

Outside, get creative! Decorate the front of your RV and consider adding a red reindeer nose. If you have an awning, use large colored bulbs or icicle lights for a cheerful look. Just ensure that all your lights are waterproof and try to use LEDs when possible.

2. Make a Tabletop Christmas Tree

RVs don't often have space for full-size trees, but that doesn't mean you have to go without! Check out tutorials for creating a tabletop Christmas tree using simple materials. This DIY project is perfect for adding a festive touch without taking up too much space.

3. Adorn the Windows with Paper Snowflakes

An easy and inexpensive way to add holiday cheer is to adorn your RV windows with paper snowflakes. All you need is some plain white paper and scissors. Fold the paper into a triangle, make cutouts along the edges, and unfold to reveal beautiful snowflakes!

4. Create a Curtain of Ornaments

One of our favorite RV decorating ideas is to turn your doorway into a centerpiece. Use fishing line or string to hang ornaments from the top of your doorframe, creating a gorgeous curtain of ornaments upon entry. Use lightweight plastic ornaments and hang them at varying heights for an eye-catching effect.

5. Switch Your Throw Pillow Covers
