Many RVers think they have to buy expensive RV-specific furniture to replace old, worn out, or outdated couches, recliners, and other furniture in their camper or motorhome, but in fact, countless RV owners (myself included) have replaced the factory-installed furniture with “regular” furniture without any issues long as the furniture meets weight requirements and is secured somehow during travel.
Take a look at some of theses ideas for giving your RV a furniture makeover!
Expanding Shaker style table
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
This table expands from a buffet for two to a full-sized dining table that comfortably seats six. You could get a few folding chairs to bring out when needed.
Table with shelves and drawers
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
This table would make a great combination dining and work space, as you could store office supplies in the drawers and in baskets on the shelves. It would also make a nice bookshelf with the addition of tension rods to hold books in place during RV travel.
Drop leaf counter height table
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
Since the leaves fold out from the ends, this table could be used as an island, or it could stay pushed up against a wall for just two or three people to use without blocking the drawers or having to pull it out for use. Or, if you keep a few extra folding bar stools, you could pull it out and seat four around it when needed.

Drop leaf island in white
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
Same idea as the one above, but the style of this one would be a better match for beach-themed or farmhouse style decor.

Lift coffee table with drawer
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
With the drawer, which would be ideal for storing office supplies, this coffee table would make a wonderful desk. You could also use it for eating and get rid of the need for a dining table or dinette booth. It comes in black as well.
Smart lift top ottoman
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
A storage ottoman bench is what we use for a coffee table in our RV. We store shoes in it, and it’s handy to be able to sit on it while putting our shoes on. We keep a wood serving tray sitting on top as a hard surface to set drinks on. The thing that stood out to me about this one was the way the lid lifts from each side, meaning you wouldn’t have to remove a tray sitting on top to access the contents; you could just slide it to one end. Also, this ottoman comes in three solid colors and five fun prints.

Wall-mounted writing desk
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
This fold-out desk could be hung on a wall next to the bed to create a workspace in the bedroom.
Nesting desk
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
This desk offers a lot of space to spread out while you’re working, but doesn’t take up much space at all when it’s not in use.

Office Chair
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
I love that this office chair is pretty as well as functional and would look nice in any room. In addition to the colors pictured below, it also comes in gray as well as a black and white cowhide print.
Armchair with storage
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
With a hidden storage compartment, this chair is an efficient choice for an RV. It also comes in beige.

Futon with storage
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
Drink holders and storage compartments in the arms eliminate the need for side tables or a coffee table. It can also be purchased as a set with two wall-hugging recliners, both of which also have drink holders and arm storage compartments, and all of these come in six different color options.
Sleeper love seat with storage
Where to buy it:
What I love about it:
At just 63 inches wide and 145 pounds, this love seat is perfectly sized for an RV. The storage compartment can hold pillows and bedding or whatever else you want to store there, and it converts to a child-sized bed. It comes in a full-size version as well.
