Create a Camper with DIY Furniture and Furnishings, by Wout

From van to dream camper: an inspiring DIY project

Have you ever dreamed of having your own camper, completely furnished to your wishes? Wout shows you how to create your own mobile home with the right materials and a dose of creativity. This inspirational project shows a unique transformation of a regular van into an atmospheric camper, complete with handmade furniture and a functional kitchen unit, every step carefully thought out and realized.

The transformation in detail

Upon entering, the warm atmosphere of the camper immediately stands out, the space is cleverly used with a practical kitchen unit, custom cabinets and an inviting sitting area. The colours used are harmonious and give the space a peaceful appearance.

A place for every moment

The interior of the camper is specially designed for comfortable living and travelling. Every piece of furniture is placed with precision, tailored to the needs of a life on the road. The combination of wood tones and soft colour accents gives the space a relaxed atmosphere, perfectly suited to a life on wheels.

Self-build custom work

Everything in this camper was custom-made by Wout, using wood cut to size by TOSIZE.se. The result? An interior that is completely custom-made. There’s a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes with self-build projects – from the flexibility of sizing to the freedom of choice in materials. And let’s not forget the cost; building it yourself often means significant savings compared to off-the-shelf solutions.

Styles come together

The style of the camper is modern with rural influences, as evidenced by the sleek lines of the kitchen unit versus the natural look of the wooden panels. Together they create a contemporary space that perfectly balances warmth and minimalism.

Multiplex Interior Poplar: A sustainable choice

The entire interior is made of Multiplex Interior Poplar Primed and B/BB, known for its light weight and smooth workability. This type of wood is ideal for camper interiors, because it is not only sustainable, but also creates a natural and warm atmosphere.

Multiplex Interior Poplar B/BB: Perfect for custom work

The subtle wood grain of the Multiplex Interior Poplar B/BB contributes to the atmosphere inside the camper. The advantages are legion: it is easy to paint or varnish and creates a smooth finished look that fits perfectly with the interior of a camper.
