I’ll never forget the first time I stayed in a boho-styled camper van. I imagined a cozy, dreamy little space where I could curl up with a good book, twinkling lights above, soft textures around me, and a hint of nature indoors.
But living the van life taught me that styling a small, mobile space is completely different from decorating a home you need everything to feel luxe, cozy, and functional, yet compact and easy to move around.
