Qualities Of Good Boat Interior Design

By Cathy Mercer


For many sailors, boats, yachts and ships are a second home to them. In this regard there is need to modify their interior to make them have a home like appearance. Boat interior design has come of age and every person who purchases a boat has to redesign the interior to meet his or her tastes and preferences. There is no standard way in which one has to design their boat interiors but there are a few consideration individuals consider to achieve absolute comfort and safety in their boats.

To begin with is the issue of having comfortable and safe berths for one to rest. Many people rush to make beds that almost resemble those at homes forgetting that the circumstances are different. A boat is mobile and subject to forces like strong currents which could result to causing harm to the person sleeping if the bed is not properly fixed.

Its advisable to fix hand holders wherever there are space due to high incidences of falling. Falling in a boat when it comes to a sudden stop is quite hurtful no matter the distance of the fall. Hand holds will come in handy where there are large spaces to ensure the safety of those on board since the effects of the falls can be severe.

Another factor closely related to the one above is the space factor. As opposed onshore interiors where plenty of space translates to more comfort, offshore ones can be a big disaster. Experts advice that it is better to have a single large space as opposed to many small ones. The many small spaces are irrelevant since instead they can be converted to essential items like storage and sleeping cabins.

Most designers forget to create space for the storage of tools and equipment that are used for the repair and maintenance of the vessel. Creating such places within a yacht helps manage situation that arise with ease and efficiently. A work bench around that area is also necessary to ensuring good working conditions.

The exterior design of a vessel affects the interior too. Designing large vessels is hard as compared to long ones contrary to what many may think. Longer boats tend to be faster, they are easier to customize and are effective in many ways. These features of longer boats make their inside design easy and cheaper as opposed to large boats.

Last but not least is something about the hull area. Many sales men have been heard advising clients that it is better to displace a small portion of the hull to create additional space for adding more interior. This is a wrong idea since the inception of vessel design, the hull forms should be comfortable and efficient when the vessel is at high speed hence trying to adjust their size is a grave mistake.

A majority of people have misunderstood the whole idea of boat interior design. Considerations like those mentioned above and many others should be adhered to if one wants to get the best out of their vessels. Expert advice will help the designers improve the quality and safety of the individuals on board.
