Custom Wall Mural for Your Yacht

 

Once upon a time, a 75 foot yacht cruising by would inspire awe. Today however, you might hardly give this boat a second glance. Boats are indeed becoming bigger and bigger. What to do with all this extra space? Decorate!

The boating industry seems to have an infatuation with the color white. It encompasses everything from the exterior gel coat to interior decorating. White interiors are traditionally hard to maintain, but that is a personal preference, of course. Bold and lively, or warm contemporary color schemes are definitely more desired and popular these days. Many of us spend a lot of time inside our boats. Therefore, the effort you put into decorating the interior of your yacht will be well worth it.

A custom wall mural is a fresh and fun choice for your nautical interior decorating. Your yacht's interior décor reflects your individuality. The sky is the limit when it comes to image options for a custom wall mural. Where you have your mural installed is a highly individualized issue as well. For example, you may prefer to hang your custom wall mural design within the privacy of your master quarters . Or you may want your original image displayed in the galley, bar or other entertaining space.

If you would rather leave the wall mural image to the experts, you may prefer to purchase a high quality wall mural from an online gallery. This is a perfectly acceptable choice and is a time saver too, because all the guesswork on color, composition, and subject matter is already done for you.

Just remember some friendly advice. Your money will be well spent if your wall mural purchase is indeed a high quality product, freshly printed and on durable new wallpaper material This will help ensure that your wall mural is seaworthy and can withstand peeling, fading, and mildew build up.

You can get bargain basement wall mural prices from hundreds of websites, but be wary of this. The very attractive pricing is in large part due to the fact that these “suppliers” buy in bulk from the manufacturers. The murals are then stored, often in suboptimal conditions.

When it comes to wall mural options for your yacht, would you rather make a moderate to substantial decorating investment from a purchase at a Sam’s Club or a small boutique that specializes in wall murals and custom wall murals? Think about it!
