The client wanted to refresh the interior of an existing 45-meter motor yacht, but without structural changes or major construction work. The existing interior was overloaded with a mix of different styles, textures, materials, and details, which made the space feel visually disconnected, outdated, and too crowded. At the same time, some elements, especially textiles, curtains, and part of the loose furniture, showed clear signs of age and use.
The first step in the project was a detailed inspection of the yacht’s existing condition. Based on a full walkthrough and careful analysis of all interior areas, we defined which elements were worth keeping and where changes were needed so the interior could start functioning again as one cohesive whole. The wooden wall panels stood out in particular. Their quality of craftsmanship was exceptional, and they were preserved in remarkably good condition. Even after years of use, they looked almost new. Since they gave the yacht a strong character and represented an important part of its identity, we decided to keep them and build a new, more cohesive interior around them.
Based on this analysis, we developed a renovation proposal that included the selection of new finishes, upholstery, curtains, carpets, lighting, furniture, and decorative elements, as well as the optimization of the furniture layout in the main salon and upper deck salon. The goal was to visually lighten the space, make it calmer, and give it a more contemporary expression through carefully chosen changes, but without losing the elements that already carried quality and authenticity.
In addition to the design concept itself, our role also included proposing suitable contractors, coordinating all planned changes with them, and supervising the works and installation process. This helped ensure that every change was executed in line with the project and that the idea developed through the concept was properly translated into the finished interior.
Through this approach, the yacht interior gained a more cohesive and clearly defined identity. The elements that gave the space character were preserved, while the parts that made it feel visually heavy, uneven, and outdated were carefully redesigned.
