How to Decorate Your Boat Cabin

While your boat likely comes with a very lush and well-appointed interior cabin, you may still want to add your own personal touch to it. You might also wonder what types of decorations would be appropriate for use on a boat, since certain materials might not be very practical for something that is frequently out on the water. Try these tips to successfully decorate your boat to your tastes.

Add Your Own Photos & Art

A quick and easy way to put your own spin on your boat cabin is to put up some art and photography on the walls. Find lightweight plastic frames at IKEA or a craft store to put your family photos, travel shots, postcards from friends, and art pieces into. Command™ hooks and poster tack putty can also be used. Just make sure that the frames are securely mounted, and try to avoid anything glass.

Cozy It Up

It can get quite chilly on the water, so adding some soft throw pillows, afghans, quilts, and wool blankets to the seats in your boat cabin will allow you and your passengers to get comfortable and stay warm on your trip. Colorful patterns will instantly make your boat cabin pop, and the fabrics will soften up the space.

Select Lightweight Themed Decorations

Whatever you choose to decorate your cabin with, make sure that it’s non-breakable and light in weight. Avoid ceramics and glass; instead, look for lightweight woods, plastics, or fabric decorations.
