1. FRESH AND RENEWED

Paint is one of the most visible and decisive elements of your boat's appearance. By simply changing the color of the walls, ceiling, or floor, you can completely transform the ambiance and style of your boat. What type of paint should you use? Ideally, choose a special boat paint that is resistant to water, heat, and UV rays. You should also consider the color palette. Light tones, such as white, beige, or light blue, will help to create a feeling of spaciousness and lightness, while some details in dark colors, such as black, grey, or brown, will add a touch of refinement.

2. A TOUCH OF PERSONALITY AND COMFORT

Changing the upholstery is a quick way to revitalize your boat. Seats, cushions, curtains, and other textiles can take a lot of wear and tear from use and exposure to the weather. Clean, soft, and cozy upholstery will make your travels more pleasant and relaxing. The important thing is that the fabrics are suitable for the marine environment: waterproof, breathable, washable, sun and mildew-resistant. You can also play with colors, patterns, and textures to create an ambiance that suits your taste and personality.

3. BRIGHT SPACES

Good lighting can make your boat look bigger, cleaner, and more attractive. It will allow you to enjoy both day and night and create different atmospheres, using different types of lights and intensity. For example, warm and soft lighting, to relax and enjoy the landscape. Or, a more intense and fun one, that encourages you to dance and celebrate. You can also play with colors and effects, to create different environments depending on the occasion. The important thing is that the lighting is functional and safe.

4. FUNCTIONAL AND STYLISH, UNBEATABLE DUO

Your boat furniture should be practical and resistant, but also stylish. If your furniture is old, broken, or out of fashion, you can choose to change it for new ones that better suit the space and style of your boat. Another option is to restore or paint them, giving them new life. You can also rearrange them or move them around to create a more functional and comfortable layout. Also, renewing furniture handles, hinges or closures is another good option to make them work better and look more modern. Whatever your decision, we help you carry it out.

5. THE GOLDEN BROOCH

Beatify your boat by adding suitable accessories to improve its appearance and add more charm. These finishing touches can range from decorative objects, such as paintings, plants, or cushions, to useful objects, such as glassware, tableware, and clocks. The important thing is that you choose small details that elevate the interior design of your boat, giving it a personal and original touch. The secret is that they combine with the rest of the decoration and that they don’t take up much space.
