Decorating Your Boat's Interior

Every boat owner is proud of their vessel. If you’ve wondered about how to customize your boat, why not decorate the interior? The cabin of your boat can be decorated similarly to your house or apartment, with a few caveats: avoid using glass or anything especially fragile and steer clear of paper decorations that can get wet. Here are a few recommendations for customizing the inside of your boat.

1. Blankets & Throw Pillows

One quick and affordable way to soften up the cabin of your boat and make everything instantly cozy is to invest in some blankets and throw pillows for all your furniture. Those padded couches and seats will become more inviting when you’ve got colorful and soft pillows and throws for your guests. Maybe you’ve got an old crochet afghan made by a beloved relative that will add a personal touch, or you know how to sew and you can use nautical fabrics to make pillow covers.

2. Mood Lighting

Change up the interior of your boat by changing the lighting. Inexpensive plastic light fixtures from places like IKEA can give your boat cabin a warm and friendly glow. LED candles are a great way to get the warmth of a candle without the fire hazard. Strings of LED Christmas lights can be tacked around the interior for a festive feel.

3. Wall Art

Select lightweight and unbreakable forms of decorations for your boat walls. Macramé wall hangings are a great option, as are wooden decorations. Using seashells or seashell motifs can give you that beachy feeling. Firmly affix all your art to the wall to prevent it from falling off in choppy waters.
