Decorating interior of boat

[NauticalFishwife]

Your boat is your home. Live in the boat a bit before making major changes and then make the changes that fullfill your needs! I love my all cotton covered cushions and my curtains are lined with insulated lining that provides privacy at the dock, but also keeps the heat out in the summer! I've found creative ways to come up with more storage (I live aboard in the summers and love my shoes!)Mesh bags you can purchase at the dive shop are great. They are sturdy, come in all sizes, and you can hang them. Find a way to have fresh flowers on the boat! Just like your home though, it needs to be safe. Have fun and enjoy.

We have a few "knick-knacks" on board. We hold them in place with bedding tape. It's great stuff. I don't see it in the West Marine Pirates 'r' Us catalog but you ought to be able to find it in any working marina with a ship's store. It comes in rolls in several widths - I have some in half inch and some one inch. Just cut off what you need and stick it down. Seems to hold on just about anything - gloss varnish, plastic laminate, metal. And when you want to move it - just peel it up - you can even reuse it. It's like a miracle. But wait... there's more - order now and you will receive at no extra charge...

Saltwater Suzi has a collection of lighthouses we've seen and I (being of the cruder nature) have a collection of mermaid statuettes. We hold them in place with bedding tape and it holds just fine. Even in rough seas.

You can have all the decorations you want as long as you can either keep them in place or store them safely when you're sailing. We are at anchor or at the dock probably 95% of the time. My guess is that that is close to the norm. So decorate away if it's your home.

Some great ideas here. You might also want to take a look at other listings on Yachtworld, etc. to see what other people have done on Leopard 45s. At a minimum it will help you rule things out.

Congrats.

I do our own sewing for pillows, cushions, etc. on our boat and consequently we have a riot of color to make the interior cheerful. We love the color even though it's contrary to the sometimes dreary nautical motif of some of the more conservative boats. And best of all, I can change out our designs, color scheme and fabric choice at will without breaking the bank!
