A WOMAN has revealed how she transformed her RV into the perfect tiny home.
Ella Mae shared pictures of her home on wheels to social media, and people were amazed by just how elegant it looked.
She wrote: "This RV might not technically be a home, but I tried as hard as I could to make it feel like one.
"This camper was inspired by Southern Charm and French country design."
In the photos Ella had definitely captured the charm of French country design with Parisian style chairs and vintage gallery walls adorning the front room.
Using duck egg blue and white as the main colours added a chic feel that made the whole van look and feel brighter.
She also used black and white checked flooring to add to the vintage feel.
In the kitchen, she used gold metal accessories to add to the luxury feel and added marble-style counter tops too.
Ella added: Growing up in the South, I have always loved haint blue ceilings so I thought, why not put it in an RV?
"Also checkered flooring is so just so timeless, that has to be thrown into the mix as well."
The theme continued throughout her tiny home, her bathroom also featured blue and white walls and had a gorgeous gold sink and mirror to create a French Royal look.
It was clear her RV had become her tiny sanctuary and thousands were left impressed by the transformation.
The post shared to the Facebook group, Small Space Living, went viral with over 3.5k likes and 1.6k comments.
People were quick to praise her for the makeover and just how elegant the interiors looked.
One person wrote: "Ooh I love it, the colour scheme is gorgeous and the decor is so lively. It's so homely. I could live in there and be so happy."
Another commented: "I've never seen a more elegant RV."
"You’ve done an amazing job. Your place is simply beautiful," penned a third.
Is it legal to live in a van?
IF you are looking to live in a van to save money or travel, you'll be pleased to know that there are no UK laws stopping you.
However, you must ensure your vehicle has passed its MOT and is fully road legal.
There could also be restrictions on where you can park up to sleep in your van.
For example, local authorities place restrictions on certain streets or lay-bys, and you could be fined if you spend the night there.
It could also be unsafe to stop in certain locations, particularly at night-time.
