Undertaking a yacht renovation is not a simple task. You need to hire experts at interior refinishing, like Newmil Marine, and make sure that you’re picking a design that will look beautiful and modern for years and decades to come.
Not sure where to start? Need some inspiration? In this article, we’ll go over some of the top trends in yacht interior design, so that you can start thinking about your own project, and the elements and ideas that you would like to incorporate into your design. Let’s get started now!
- Natural Materials Are On-Trend
Inorganic materials like plastic – and metal, to some extent – are being replaced by natural materials like wood. Design elements are becoming more naturalistic in today’s top yachts – focusing on natural fibers and materials, and more subdued, natural, neutral colors.
The aptly-dubbed “Nature” superyacht is a great example of this trend, with a striking and modern exterior design that contrasts with warm textiles, wood, and other such materials inside the vessel. This contrast provides a unique, one-of-a-kind appeal – and is sure to inspire imitators!
- Bigger, Better Windows Everywhere
The Joy by Feadship is a great example of the emphasis on panoramic glass windows. All three main interior decks are encircled by panoramic windows – providing unparalleled views of the sea. There are even air-conditioned and heated indoor-outdoor zones, allowing the interior and exterior of the ship to flow seamlessly.
While you may not be able to adopt these same floor-to-ceiling windows in your own yacht, you can consider installing more windows or enlarging your existing windows – and adopting this trend in your own vessel!
- Home Away From Home
A growing trend in interior design in yachts is to eschew maritime design elements and to focus more on traditional, domestic elements that make a yacht feel more like a “home away from home.”
This allows yacht owners to feel comfortable when they’re enjoying their yacht – and feel like they’re truly at-home, and can relax just like they would in their house.
From spacious dens and living areas, to other at-home amenities – like home gyms and saunas – focusing on a more “homey” and domestic feel for your yacht is a great way to ensure your comfort, and relax in style.
- Bright, Bold Accent Colors
Pantone’s color of the year for 2019 was Living Coral – a bright orange-pink color that’s become popular in interior design. While yachts in the past often shied away from bright colors, colors like Living Coral are ideal for accenting the neutral colors often used in today’s superyachts – breathing personality and life into each living space.
Of course, you don’t have to use Living Coral in your yacht – but if you find a color you love, we recommend focusing on it in your interior – and using this color to accent other materials like natural wood, metals, and more, and make your yacht truly one-of-a-kind.
