Tow a retro caravan into a handy position, then transform it into a backyard hideaway you’ll love! To create a teen’s art space, a music room or simply a spot to escape, revamp the interior in a colourful boho style.

You can add a table and chairs out front, covered by a simple shade structure.

Before

Caravan before makeover
More shabby than chic

1. Feeling snoozy?

Take five from crafty endeavours on a comfy day bed dressed with an eclectic mix of throws and cushions. Bring in a plant or two in baskets or pots to complete your home away from home.

 2. Brighten the vibe

Paint a striking design on the outside in Dulux Blue Lagoon. Add a simple square format pergola with a treated pine and pebble floor.

3. Fill a blank wall

Paint narrow timber shelves for extra storage. Make them from scratch or use store-bought spice racks.

4. Lighten and brighten

Apply primer, then refresh the interior with white paint. Give it a Mexican feel with vibrant fabric curtains. An easel is a must for your artistic pursuits.
