The Unseen Art of Bed Making.
Welcome to a glimpse into the world of superyacht interior decor, where the seemingly simple act of making a bed becomes an art form. Here, we celebrate not just the functionality of this daily ritual, but the immense satisfaction derived from creating a sanctuary of comfort and elegance with the softest of linens, feathers, and cashmere. One of the most cherished aspects of my tenure aboard superyachts—reminiscent of a bygone era—was the art of bed-making. Quirky as it may seem, there exists a profound sense of gratification in crafting an inviting bed adorned with exquisite linens and sumptuous feathers. This ritual is not merely a task but an act of creation.
Beyond Just a Bed: The centrepiece of the space.
The bed stands out as a pivotal feature—a centrepiece that dictates the flow and feel of the entire cabin. It's about more than just aesthetics; it's about crafting an experience, a mood, a sense of place that resonates with those who enter the space. To this day, this aspect of bedding design remains a pivotal topic of conversation with my clients. A bed is not just a significant feature within the cabin space; it is the cornerstone that influences the direction of how you want to feel.. It necessitates a thoughtful approach, as its presentation can set the tone for the entire onboard experience.
Harnessing Inspiration.
Contemplate the design of your cabin space. Does it present an opportunity for enhancement, particularly in the sleeping area? Our design process heavily incorporates the use Pinterest boards in early concept stages, which serve as a wellspring of inspiration. It's crucial to note that these boards are not literal translations but starting points for imagination, highlighting shapes and textures. Ensure clarity when utilising these visual collections—both when presenting to clients and interpreting others' boards—to guarantee a mutual understanding of the design intent.
Our studio's Pinterest boards are a treasure trove openly available to all, inviting you to embark on a journey of inspiration. Engage with the content, unearth what truly speaks to you, and use these discoveries to refine a design language that bridges the gap between client and creator, streamlining the design dialogue. I would urge you to create a Pinterest board for all your projects as this serves as an added layer of communication and a place to dig deeper.
Questions to Propel Your Vision
When encountering a creative impasse or a space that feels less than invigorated, pose these reflective inquiries:
Would this element elevate the space?
Could it enrich the overall experience?
What kind of atmosphere or mood would this element add to the space?
Let these questions guide you towards a more thoughtful and impactful design narrative.
When it comes to superyacht interiors, every detail counts. From the grand statement pieces to the intimate touches of a well-made bed, each element contributes to the story of luxury and emotions. Take a look around your spaces onboard and ask those all important questions.
