Hey there, fellow wanderluster! If you’re anything like me, you know that every inch counts when it comes to campervan living. Let’s dive into some nifty DIY storage ideas that’ll make your van feel like a cozy, organized home on wheels.
Secret Storage Compartments
For a little extra security, I included a secret storage compartment in my van. It’s the perfect hideaway for valuables when I’m on the go.
Sliding Pantry Shelf
A sliding pantry shelf makes it a breeze to reach items at the back of deep cupboards. I love how it maximizes space and keeps everything within easy reach.
Multi-Functional Furniture
Think beyond the basics with multi-functional furniture. My bench seat flips open to reveal storage for my camping gear, which I absolutely love for its versatility.
Hanging Fruit Basket
A hanging fruit basket not only keeps produce fresh and within reach, but it also adds a touch of homey charm to the van’s interior.
Utility Hooks
Simple utility hooks can be used almost anywhere in the van to hang coats, bags, or even kitchen utensils. They’re a small addition that makes a big difference.
Collapsible Containers
When not in use, collapsible containers fold down flat, saving precious space. They’re great for keeping my pantry organized without taking up too much room.
Under-Seat Storage
Every nook counts, so I’ve utilized under-seat storage for less-frequently-used items. It’s a clever way to keep things hidden yet accessible.
Rooftop Cargo Box
For extra gear, a rooftop cargo box provides storage without cramping the interior space. It’s perfect for stashing outdoor equipment that I don’t use every day.
Vertical Bike Rack
If you’re a cyclist, a vertical bike rack inside the van can save space and protect your ride. It’s an efficient way to store bikes without sacrificing room.
Ceiling Net Storage
For lightweight items like pillows or sleeping bags, a ceiling net is a game-changer. It keeps bulky items out of the way while still easily accessible.
Magnetic Strips in the Kitchen
A magnetic strip can turn your kitchen wall into a handy storage spot for knives and metal utensils. It’s a simple way to keep them organized and off precious counter space.
Under-Bed Drawers
The space under your bed is prime real estate! I’ve installed pull-out under-bed drawers that are perfect for stashing away out-of-season clothes or extra bedding.
Velcro Strips for Loose Items
Loose items like remotes or small gadgets can be secured with velcro strips. I attach them to surfaces to keep everything in its place, even on bumpy roads.
Pegboard Organization
A pegboard is my go-to for organizing tools and kitchen gadgets. It’s flexible and can be customized to fit whatever you need to hang up.
Hanging Shoe Organizer
A shoe organizer hung over the back of a door is a nifty solution for keeping shoes in check. I trimmed mine to fit perfectly and it keeps my shoes tidy and out of the way.
Hanging Mason Jars
For those little kitchen essentials, why not try hanging mason jars? I love how they keep my spices visible and within arm’s reach, and they add a bit of rustic charm to my campervan kitchen.
