A family of 3 lives in a stylish RV with a laundry room, kitchen island, and walk-in closet. Take a look inside.
The Behrens family has been living on the road for the last decade. They wanted their RV to feel like a home.
Libby and Spencer Behrens have been living in RVs for the majority of their adult lives. When baby Axel came along, they knew it was time to get a new mobile home for their growing family.
That's why they bought a 36-foot RV in 2018. Since then, Libby has been renovating and decorating the RV to make it feel like home. For Libby, that means creating a neutral aesthetic where functionality and simplicity are key, she told Insider.
You won't find much color in the Behrens' RV, and that's how Libby likes it.
"Our tiny home is the epitome of less is more," she said. "Just show your personality, and your space will be instantly transformed."
The outside of the RV is particularly inviting with a wreath on the door and a greeting to the right.
Libby used peel-and-stick chalkboard wallpaper to color the door black.
The neutral color palette is apparent as soon as you walk down these steps from the door to the entryway.
In the entryway, framed images line one wall.
The entryway leads straight to the kitchen, where Libby said she swapped out all the hardware and fixtures that looked like they belonged in an RV.
Libby said that she replaced everything in her kitchen that "screamed 'RV'," from the light fixtures to the faucet.
There's even an island, which also functions as a dining table; Libby bought stools so her family could use the kitchen as a dining space.
Also in the kitchen, Libby transformed a narrow cabinet into a pull-out spice rack.
Libby uses the tiny drawer to store spices and oils.
To save counter space, Libby created a hanging produce pantry on the wall of her kitchen.
Libby says when you are living small, utilizing vertical space is essential.
"It's all about making the space work for you," she said.
Across from the kitchen is the living room, where a daybed doubles as a couch and a guest's quarters.
"The main living space can be equally a place where we can hang out as a family and house guests," Libby said.
Next to the daybed, there's another small table where Axel can play.
The Behrens used to have a dining area here, but they swapped it out for a smaller table once Libby added stools to the kitchen island.
At the back of the rig, Axel has his own bedroom with storage boxes to house his clothes and toys.
Axel's bedroom is full of storage baskets to hide clutter.
His bed is a top bunk — another clever use of vertical space.
Libby said she wanted Axel to have his own space where he can sleep and play.
Also in Axel's room, there's a walk-in closet.
Libby converted the rig's second bathroom into a walk-in closet.
Upstairs, the bathroom has a shower and a hanging rack above the toilet for more storage.
Like the rest of the rig, the bathroom maintains a neutral color pallette.
Next to the bathroom, the master bedroom fits a king-sized bed.
Libby put a king-sized bed in the master bedroom with storage drawers underneath.
Also in the bedroom, a nook with drawers that used to serve as a catch-all for various things now stores Behrens' everyday items.
The nook holds her daily accessories like jewelry.
Out back, the RV has a laundry room with a washer and dryer.
When she purchased the RV, this area was an outdoor kitchen. Behrens converted it into a laundry room.
The Behrens Family inflates a blow-up pool for Axel to play in on warmer days.
The RV may feel like a house, but the Behrens family still enjoys an RV lifestyle. Libby and Axel are always outside — that's one thing she loves about their life.
