Cool Interior Ideas

[ChestnutBrown]

Almost finished doing the sound proofing and thermo liner in the rear of my Kombi, so am starting to think about how I finish the rear passenger and boot area.

I think that carpet looks really clean and there are some fantastically made examples, however, I am looking for something a bit different maybe.

What ideas have you guys had or done, and what have you seen on other vans that looks cool?

I really like the idea of either the slat wood ceiling idea or even Hex Ply to match my Ovano as I really like that stuff. I just wonder whether hard panels will make the boxy shape echo?

Another option is a contrasting vinyl stitched material perhaps?

Presently I am also torn between carpeting behind the panels or leaving the painted sections exposed. Has anyone left theirs and only replaced/covered the panels? How good does it look?

My van is Chestnut Brown btw, in case you missed my username.

I left the painted bits uncarpeted in my Silver T5, partly because I couldn't be bothered attempting it but also because I liked it that way. My T6.1 is fully carpeted except for the doors (panels only) I do like some body colour on the inside I've decided so that's fine too.

Might do a slatted ceiling at some point, they do look good, currently have a full suede ceiling, not keen on that stuff but that's what it came with ...

Any exposed painted metalwork condenses like mad in a camper .

I like the painted sections too, hence being torn. Glad to hear I am not alone. Thanks for replying too, as had almost given up on getting a response.

I have decided to get the Hex Ply panels ordered from Vanbus, as per other thread. Photos look exactly like what I am after.

Holding back on the ceiling bit for now though. Slat wood keeps drawing me back for sure. Suede looks fine, but not what I would choose for myself either.

Thanks for your reply too. Mine is a Kombi and not being converted to a Camper, so that aspect doesn’t affect me too much. Definitely a factor for a Camper for sure though.

Mine didn't seem to, always had windows open a bit though.

So I left the bare metal look, as I kinda like that my van is a van...plus I've never thought about carpetting my walls at home. Having said that, I also haven't considered flock wallpaper, woodchip, magnolia emulsion or dado rails for the van, so maybe my argument is flawed! Maybe it's just about doing my own thing... anyway, never had any condensation issues, but don't dispute it may be an issue for some.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
