During the first UK lockdown, the Ellie & Co team jumped on the staycation bandwagon and bought a 1996 Volkswagen camper van. She’s called Celeste, she’s had one fastidious owner from new and is in immaculate condition. She’s perfect, except for one major thing. The interior. It’s grey, with a hint of burgundy velour. Let’s just say Celeste could use a little brightening up inside.
In my search for interior inspiration, I came across the ‘Caravan Museum’ via the Messy Nessy Chic website. It’s a German website filled with scans from vintage caravan brochures. After half a day searching, I’m ready to say goodbye to dull grey carpeted ceiling, patterned velour seats, practical grey flooring and matching burgundy curtains. Hello sexy striped velvet drapes, floor-to-ceiling faux wood panelling, garish duvet covers and fondue set!
Thanks to Messy Nessy Chic for originally discovering this collection.
