5 Tips for Decorating Your Nordhavn

Image Credit: Nordhavn

The excitement is paramount after purchasing your new Nordhavn. The next step is to make it your own by adding décor and personal pieces that are both timeless and functional. Decorating your boat can be a little more challenging than a home make over. On some yachts space and storage can be very limited. Here are a few tips to help you along the way.

1       -Use neutral accent pieces. Furnish the living cabin and lounging areas of your yacht and boat with neutral themes. Experiment with unique fabrics and tapestry that are harmonious with the sea.

2   -Make pieces multi-functional. Choose seating that doubles as storage. A chaise that opens into a cabinet for kitchen cooking supplies or an ottoman that also plays the role of bookstorage.

3       -Minimize the amount of glass objects. Sometimes traveling by sea can become a tumultuous battle of the winds and waves. Fragile items should be stored securely to reduce safety hazards and damage.

4      -Try dry weave materials. Look for mats and floor rugs made of moisture repellent materials. This super absorbent resource can cut down the amount of time spent on cleaning up water tracks.

5   -Choose calming colors. Your choice of color schemes is crucial to setting the tone inside your Nordhavn. If you prefer spa like surroundings stay within the family of cool blues and sea foam greens. If you’re looking to brighten up the interior of your yacht try subtle yellows and coral tones for a more tropical feel.

Ultimately your décor should reflect your personality and preferences. If traveling together, get your family involved in choosing personalized pieces to make your Nordhavn custom and unforgettable.

Here’s a list of must have items for your Nordhavn adventures:

Shatter Proof Dinnerware

Log Books

Dock and Boarding Mats Pillows

Throws

Rugs

Bath décor

Glass Drinkware

Bar Accessories
