How to Decorate Your Boat’s Interior

Your boat is likely something that you’re extremely proud to have, and you benefit from its various features and amenities every time you’re out on the water. But if you’re feeling less than inspired by the cabin decor of your boat, you should do something about it. Your boat should reflect your personality and feel like a place you can call home. Here are our tips on how to decorate the interior of your boat to your liking.

1. Change the Lighting

The lights in your cabin are likely there to be utilitarian, not decorative, but you can add some warmth with different lighting options. A pendant lamp, a string of LED lights, or a few small shatterproof plastic lamps from IKEA can go a long way to changing the mood of your cabin, making it feel cozy. If you love candles, buy some LED candles to set out to get the same mood without being unsafe.

2. Put Up Art

Decorating the walls of your boat cabin will also help make it feel more personal and homelike. Try to avoid using anything glass or ceramic, as these delicate materials could break if they’re knocked off the wall in choppy waters. Wood, fabric, fibers, plastic, and even seashells are nice options for your boat walls. A macramé wall hanging can add ambiance to your space without being too heavy or delicate.

3. Add Some Soft Fabrics

The furniture on your boat is designed to be easy to clean and water-resistant, so it may not be as cozy as you’d like. An easy way to instantly make your boat furniture feel comfortable is to bring some throw blankets and throw pillows into the space. Wool fabrics are a nice option, as they tend to be warm and water-resistant.
