Vintage Restoration for a Modern Airstream

The restoration of your Airstream can be restoring the retro interior. The only problem is that old materials are often damaged and outdated. You may want to consider materials that retain the retro look but improve your RV, such as:

  • Lightweight composite paneling with vintage-style veneers
  • Laminate and engineered floors with retro styles
  • Lightweight shower and bathroom units with a vintage look
  • Custom cabinets designed for lighter RV designs

These are materials that can be used for a retro RV restoration. Using more durable and lighter materials will ensure your Airstream lasts for years.

Fusion of Retro and Modern Designs

You may want to fuse the retro interior with new design features. You can retain some of the features that make your RV unique and add features that enhance the design. Some of the options to fuse retro and modern designs include:

  • Use elements with wood-style veneers
  • Add bright colors to contrast dark wood grains
  • Install modern technology and retro-style controls

These ideas will help you fuse the retro aspects of your interior with more modern features. You may need help with the installation of surfaces and hardware to complete these designs for your Airstream.

Contemporary Makeovers for Modern Restorations

The interior of your RV is going to be completely gutted before the restoration work is completed. Therefore, you may want to consider a completely modern design. The following contemporary design features may be perfect for your project:

  • Sleek cabinets with hidden hardware
  • Automated window shades and controls
  • Modern flooring and paneling with contemporary style
