Whether you’re chasing sunsets or parked by a quiet stream, these 12 hippie RV decorating ideas will help you infuse your home-on-wheels with peace, love, and a perfectly effortless, “go-where-the-wind-blows” vibe.

Macramé brings soft texture and calm to your RV walls. You can hang a small piece behind a seat or a larger one above the bed to add a cozy, handmade feel.
Choose neutral cords for a light look or dyed yarns for a pop of color. Knots like the square knot and lark’s head are easy to learn and make sturdy hangings that hold up on the road.
PRO TIP
Mount your macramé on a lightweight wooden dowel or branch so it stays balanced while driving. If you need less movement, attach a small strip of non-damaging adhesive to the top corners to keep it from swaying.
2) Colorful Tie-Dye Curtains
Tie-dye curtains bring instant color and a relaxed feel to your RV. They make the space look cheerful without taking up room.
Choose light fabrics so sunlight filters through and creates a warm glow. You can hang them on tension rods or clip rings for easy removal.
Make your own with a simple kit or dye plain fabric in waves, spirals, or ombré patterns. DIY lets you match your palette to cushions, rugs, or wall art.
PRO TIP
Pick colors that blend with your existing decor and wash the curtains separately the first few times. That prevents dye transfer and keeps your colors bright.
3) Vintage Patchwork Quilts
Vintage patchwork quilts bring color and history into your RV. Drape one over the sofa or hang it on a wall to add warmth and texture without taking up floor space.
You can mix different quilts for a layered look. Pair floral and geometric patterns for a casual, collected vibe that feels lived-in and cozy.
PRO TIP
Choose quilts with sturdy stitching and washable fabrics. If you find a delicate quilt, use it as a decorative throw rather than a daily blanket to protect its fabric and colors.
4) Beaded String Curtains
Beaded string curtains bring color and movement to your RV without taking much space. You can hang them in doorways, between the cab and living area, or over windows to add a soft, boho feel.
Choose lightweight beads or wooden spacers so the curtain won’t rattle too much while you drive. Mix clear, colored, and natural tones for a relaxed look that still lets light through.
PRO TIP
Secure the top rail with strong hooks or a tension rod so the curtain stays in place on bumpy roads. Make a removable version with clips so you can take it down for cleaning or when you need full privacy.
5) Hand-Painted Mandala Tapestry
A hand-painted mandala tapestry adds color and calm to your RV. You can hang it on a wall, use it as a bedspread, or drape it over a table for instant personality.
The round, repeating patterns draw the eye and make small spaces feel cozy. Pick colors that match your cushions or curtains to tie the whole space together.
PRO TIP
Try a lightweight fabric so it won’t weigh down hooks or clips. If you paint it yourself, sketch the design in pencil first and work from the center outward for balanced lines.
6) Woven Dreamcatchers
Hang woven dreamcatchers to add soft texture and a calm, boho feel to your RV. They work well over windows, near the bed, or on empty wall space. Light catches the threads and creates a peaceful look without taking up much room.
Use natural materials like cotton, hemp, and wooden hoops for a relaxed vibe. Add feathers, beads, or small shells you find on trips to make each piece personal. Smaller dreamcatchers group nicely in clusters and won’t clutter your space.
PRO TIP
Choose colors that match your textiles and keep shapes simple to avoid a busy look. Secure hangers with removable hooks so you can change placement without damaging walls.
7) Potted Succulents in Clay Pots
Succulents bring a calm, earthy touch to your RV without needing much space. You can place small clay pots on shelves, windowsills, or a hanging macramé holder to save counter room.
Clay pots help soil dry fast, which succulents like. They also add a warm, natural look that fits a hippie style.
PRO TIP
Use pebble drainage layers or shallow trays under pots to catch water and protect surfaces. Rotate pots now and then so plants get even light. Keep a small spray bottle for light misting on hot days.
8) Retro Lava Lamps
Lava lamps add soft, moving light that feels calm and nostalgic. Place one on a stable shelf or table where it can run for a while without being bumped.
Pick colors that match your rugs or curtains to tie the space together. The slow motion of the wax creates a gentle focal point without loud patterns or bright glare.
PRO TIP
Use a low-watt bulb and let the lamp warm up fully before settling. That helps the blobs form smoothly and keeps the lamp running longer.
9) Bohemian Floor Cushions
Floor cushions add color and comfort to your RV without taking much space. You can stack them for back support or scatter them for a casual seating area. Choose mixed fabrics like woven, embroidered, or patchwork to bring a true boho feel.
Pick cushions in different sizes and patterns to make the space look layered and lived-in. Lightweight cushions are easy to store under benches or in closets when you need room. Use muted earth tones with a few bright accents to keep the vibe relaxed.
PRO TIP
Buy cushion covers with zippers so you can wash them or swap designs quickly. Keep a small basket nearby for extra throws and pillows to make your seating area cozy.
10) LED Fairy Light Strands
String LED fairy lights along the ceiling, windows, or shelves to create a soft, cozy glow. You can drape them around plants or over textiles for a relaxed, dreamy feel.
Use warm white or soft color LEDs to keep the vibe mellow. Battery-powered strands work well if you have limited outlets, and USB options plug into a power bank for late-night reading.
PRO TIP
Twist a few strands into glass jars or mason jars to make portable lanterns. That gives you extra light without taking up counter space and adds a charming, boho touch to your RV.
11) Rattan Hanging Chairs
A rattan hanging chair brings a relaxed, boho feel to your RV without taking up floor space. You can place it near a window to catch light and views while you read or rest.
Pick a chair with a sturdy frame and secure hanging hardware. Make sure your RV ceiling or beam can hold the weight, and use a proper anchor to prevent damage.
Add a soft cushion and a small throw for comfort and color. Keep the setup simple so it stays easy to move when you need more room.
PRO TIP
Install a quick-release hook so you can take the chair down fast when driving or when you need extra space.
12) Fringed Moroccan Poufs
Poufs add comfy, casual seating that fits a hippie RV vibe. You can use them as footrests, extra seats, or small tables when you pop on a tray.
Pick poufs with fringe and warm colors to bring texture and a handmade look. They feel cozy and invite people to relax, making tight RV space more welcoming.
Place one near the door or under a window to create a chill corner. Stack a couple for flexible seating, or tuck them under a table when you need room.
PRO TIP
Choose lightweight, durable materials so you can move them easily and clean them on the road.
