Caravan interior wrap for cupboards, doors and panels
Velven is a self adhesive film in timber, stone and soft white looks, much thicker than standard contact paper and more durable. It goes over the cupboard doors, lockers and panels already in your caravan or motorhome, with no demolition and no painting required.

Order the Sample BoxWhat you can wrap in a van
Any interior surface is good.
Here are the places owners most often use Velven inside a caravan or motorhome.
Overhead lockers
Locker doors along the ceiling.
The most common van update. Take the doors off, wrap each one on a table, and keep the grain running the same way along the run.
Cupboard doors
The kitchen run and under the sink.
Wrap every door in the run in one finish so the whole kitchen changes at once.
Drawer fronts
Small fronts, quick wins.
Remove the handles, wrap the face and fold the film around the edges to trim on the back.
Wardrobe doors
Tall doors in one piece.
Measure the full height and buy the length in one run so the grain carries from top to bottom.
Wall panels and splashbacks
The panels around the living area.
Interior wall panels and the splashback behind the kitchen run take a new finish without pulling anything out.
Dinette and bed bases
Seat boxes, dinette ends and bed bases.
The panels you see every day, carried in the same finish as the doors above them.
Cabinet sides
End panels and shelf faces.
Cabinet sides, end panels and shelf faces carry the finish around the van, so the new doors do not sit against an old colour.
Finish picks for small spaces
Light oaks, a soft white and one walnut.
Light finishes make a compact interior feel bigger, and a single darker accent keeps it from looking flat. Each A4 sample is $7.95 and posts free, or choose any six in The Sample Box.

A worked example for a small van.
Rolls are sold by the metre in 60cm, 90cm and 120cm widths. Here is how one locker run, a wardrobe and a drawer stack add up on a 60cm roll.
Four overhead lockers
About 1.6 metres.
Each door 50cm by 35cm. Add 3cm on every side for the edges, so each piece is 56cm by 41cm. Four pieces side by side down a 60cm roll use about 164cm.
One wardrobe door
About 1.9 metres.
A door 45cm by 180cm becomes a piece 51cm by 186cm, cut in one run from a 60cm roll so the grain carries top to bottom.
Three drawer fronts
About 0.6 metres.
Fronts 40cm by 15cm become pieces 46cm by 21cm. Three of them use about 63cm of a 60cm roll.
Total
5 metres of 60cm roll.
The pieces add up to about 4.1 metres. Round up to 5 so you have spare for a mistake and a hidden test. Your van will differ, so measure every door.

Watch the cabinet method before working inside the van
Caravan doors and lockers are wrapped the same way as kitchen doors. Watch the full sequence, then practise on one small door.
Tiny homes and van builds
Building from scratch?
Van builds
Finish sealed ply joinery.
Seal or paint the ply, let it cure, then wrap cupboard fronts and panels for a timber or white look without veneering every piece.
Tiny homes
The same rules, a bigger kitchen.
Tiny home joinery is wrapped like any cabinet: smooth, sealed fronts, edges folded to the back, and a sample tested first. The furniture page covers drawers and shelving.
