looking for ideas to paint inside van retro theme

[jenvan]

Hi,
I have just purchased a Don caravan serial number4038 to tow behind our vaiant sr car. The valiant is red and am looking for ideas to paint the inside of the van in a sort of rock n roll retro theme to somewhat match the car. I would like to do black and white check floor and red chair cushions, any ideas for the walls and cupboards? Does anybody have any sugestions what will work? I actually bought some paint today trusting decorating tips (cause they put it with red) from a colour card with light pink for the walls and chocberry and musty pink for the cupboards, I am not sure if this would work in a caravan. value your ideas.

Hi Jenvan

I have seen lots... and lots....... and lots of old vans done with rock and roll retro, Coca cola, Betty Boop, 50s themes. most of em predominantly red , white and black interior colour schemes .chockers full of Coke, Betty Boop and rock and roll memrobillia as well as the obligatory black and white chequered floor tiles.

All of them seem to look OK.. ..but very similar. I am sure yours will look good with your individual touches:D
Happy renovating

Hi Jenvan
We have just purchased a 48 Bedford Bus Camper done out in as a fifties diner some of the interior was finished but we put a couple of our own little touches to it and we just love the retro theme as it takes us back to the wonderful 50s 60s. I reckon go for it as you wont be sorry with the finished result. If you would like I could send you a couple of pictures and that may be a help to you, ps it is in the black red and white theme
