Boat Design and the Modern Era

Interior design has moved from being strictly interiors of buildings into many categories. There is now the interior design of buildings, boats, planes, cars, the design of movie sets, stages, vehicles, just to name a few. The role of an interior designer has moved its importance to any item that requires space planning and ergonomics to function properly.

            One of the things that needs an interior designers touch is the interiors of large boats and yachts. With people willing to spend money on luxuries for recreational purposes, they would like it designed correctly. This is where an interior designer steps in. They are able to create a space that is ergonomically correct while making it aesthetically pleasing.

            One of the major Yacht designers approach “is about a lot more than style. It’s also about intelligent flow and space planning, lines of sight, light, presentation and attention to detail after detail after detail. The complicated whole needs to be reduced to simple impressions, luxurious in their “rightness” and unspoiled by the practical necessities of running a ship.” The environment must be able to support families living in this boat for long periods of time while the systems are hidden. This can be challenging to do when there is a limited amount of space to work with.           

Through the centuries, designers have constantly been challenged by the parameters given. As technology improved, both the design and the challenges grew with it. Today, designers are faced with multiple problems that designers could not have imagined, not even a few decades ago. The creativity of solutions grows with the most interesting designs being created through the influences of the past.
