Caravan couture taking over Britain’s tourers

by Chris Jefferies
British caravan owners are spending as much money doing up the interior of their caravan as they are on holidays to Spain and Italy, it has been claimed.
Terrys Fabrics, an interior design company based in Stoke and Stockport, has reported a rise in inquiries about their caravan makeovers.
Threadbare seat covers, wipe-clean cushions and chintzy prints are a thing of the past, as Brits are embracing this new interior design trend, which has been dubbed ‘Caravan couture’.
Paul McGuinness, Director of Terrys Fabrics, said: “With the British weather being what it is, there’s a strong possibility that you’ll be seeing a lot of the inside of your caravan on holiday, so it makes sense to make the interior comfortable and stylish and make sure it’s in tune with your personality.”
He added that there is a certain element of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ as many of the caravan owners he has spoken to are quite competitive about having a nicer interior than their neighbours.
