Renovating your RV Bathroom

One of the greatest things about RVs is that they are completely customizable. No matter the age, style, size, or color of your rig, it is always possible to give your RV interior a facelift. This will allow your home on wheels to best reflect your personality, while also allowing you to customize it according to your preferences. When remodeling your RV, many people choose to start in the living room, eventually working their way into the dining area, the kitchen, and the bedroom. One of the last areas to eventually receive a transformation is typically the bathroom. While this small room may seem insignificant, even just a few minor adjustments can give your RV bathroom a look and style that you prefer. Besides, after pouring so much time and energy into the rest of your RV renovation, you will likely want all of the space to reflect your hard work, and this naturally includes the bathroom, too. Follow along for six simple tips for remodeling your RV bathroom in a way that will leave it looking fresh and updated.

1. Paint

All great renovations start with a paint job. In a bathroom, it is especially important to make sure you use a gloss or semi-gloss paint. Glossy paint will ensure that the walls are easy to clean and stay looking fresh long after the paint has dried and cured. Prep-work is also important in the bathroom. You will need to lightly sand the walls and prime them prior to painting. Be sure to paint at least two coats and allow at least twenty-four hours dry time in between painting coats. Cure time is especially important to ensure the paint does not peel. This is because you will likely be allowing plenty of moisture into the bathroom, via steam from the shower or hand washing and teeth brushing. Prepping and painting will keep your bathroom looking modern and bright, which is important in a very small space. 

2. Install a backsplash

Once you have painted the walls, you may want to add a backsplash above your bathroom sink. This will keep the walls dry and safe from water splashing and will also make the space look more polished. There are so many styles, colors, and shapes of backsplashes, and you must choose between peel-and-stick or ceramic.Peel-and-stick tile will likely be much less work, but will make your RV bathroom look more like a bathroom in a traditional home. Whichever you choose, be sure to carefully read the directions and watch a few tutorials before beginning your DIY project.
