Boats usually come out of a dealership looking bare and minimally decorated. This gives you a chance to do a complete boat make-over and decorate it to your liking. Basically, you would have to decorate the interior of your boat and not the exterior. Here are some decorating tips that may help you make your boat look more attractive and personalized.
1. Theme - Think of a theme or decorating concept. You can have a sporty looking boat, a family oriented interior, or a very elegant look. Of course an elegant boat interior will involve using genuine leather while a family concept should be more practical and resistant to spills and stains.
2. Identity- To give your vessel its own character and personality, you can sew-in an emblem or symbol, or have a memorable saying or quote printed into your sail. You can have the family crest or your initials printed on the sail. Use the same pattern for your interior leather or vinyl seats.
3. Artwork – Yes, seafaring vessels can have artwork on the walls. Hang some small paintings, sketches or other types of wall art in your boat. Having artwork on your wall can really make your boat make-over look very classy. Use paintings that are resilient to moisture such as oil or acrylic paintings.
4. Furniture – You can add some stable furniture like one or two comfortable chairs if you have the space for them. You can have them upholstered in fabric, vinyl or leather. Since your built-in seating is probably already made of leather or vinyl, use some fabric for the chairs to provide some luxury. Make sure the pieces are stable enough for turbulent waters.
5. Holidays - You can decorate your boat for seasonal holidays such as the 4th of July, Christmas or New Year’s Day. These are perfect holidays to do a temporary boat make-over. Use holiday themed decor such as Christmas wreaths and patriotic flags and symbols to decorate your interiors and sail. Light up your boat for New Year’s Eve.
6. Small Changes And Additions - Sometimes a few changes can make your vessel look like it had a complete make-over. Replace the upholstery of your leather or vinyl seats with a different color. Use wall decals for a cheap make-over. Place an area rug inside your boat next to the seats to add both comfort and character.
You don’t have to spend so much money to give your boat a fresh look. Consider having your vessel cleaned by a professional inside and out before having a boat make-over. Have the engine room cleaned by a professional boat valeting company. A clean made over boat is going to look better than a redecorated but dirty boat.
