How to Style Yacht-Inspired Interiors.
Inspired by the polished perfection of the Monaco Yacht show, here's how to bring nautical chic into your home-no marina mooring required.
Use nautical colours: Navy, cream and gold
These form the core of yacht styling. Add navy velvet cushions, cream throws and gold detailing throughout.
Incorporate rope and brass accents
Use rope framed mirrors, drawer pulls or candle holders. Mix with polished brass for upscale contrast.
Add glass and chrome lighting
Yachts are full of sparkle and pizzazz. Bring this home with metallic pendant lights or sleek desk lamps.
Statement barware is a must
From whisky glasses to glamourous ice buckets - choose pieces with bold silhouette and gloss.
Set sail in style! and here is our exclusive Luxury Homes cocktail. Cheers!!
