Haute Style on the High Seas

Living the yachting life for vacationing, entertaining and leisure has created a growing demand for luxurious furnishings and accessories to compliment the growing high sea lifestyle.

Remarkably, outfitting your private enclave can become an adventure in itself. Outdoor furnishings and accessories not only must match your design style but meet the special challenges of limited space, weather and wet bathing suits that are part of yacht life.

Choices of design styles ranging from modern to traditional to cutting edge are just a few personal caveats that Home Infatuation’s clients have recently requested. Lavish and well-designed furniture collections and boating accessories capture the mood and exude a continuous statement of elegance.

Here are a few “must haves” to adorn your ship that define Haute Style on the High Seas.

Teak Speaks Rich and Refined

Because of its durability and resistance to water and insect damage teak has always been a favorite choice for boating furniture and accessories. Fantastic deck collections range from luxury loungers and chaises to folding deck chairs and matching tables. Sun and weather resistant chair and chaise cushions come in a variety of colors and patterns.

Break-Resistant Dinnerware Reigns

The Melamine dinnerware collection is one of many in Home Infatuation’s selection that was designed for the boating industry and life on the sea. Each piece is created using a ring of non-skid rubber around the bottom of the dinnerware to keep each piece from sliding. Melamine outdoor dinnerware has come a long way since it was first introduced in the 1930’s. It’s just as durable as ever – it’s hard to chip, crack or break and its dishwasher and microwave safe. Melamine collections are available in sets of four, six or eight place settings.

Enjoy the Sun beneath a Shade Sail

Sun blocking shade sails are very important to think about when you are furnishing your boat deck. While we all enjoy lying in the sun without using a shade sail or some other form of sun block you can quickly damage your skin. Not only are shade sails good for shading the sun, the modern design also adds to your outdoor decor. They can be easily tied and suspended overhead for shading both small and large groups of people. The knitted polyethylene fabric blocks the sun and 90% of the UV rays but allows cooling breezes to pass through. The very durable fabric is completely weatherproof and will never fade, rot, mildew or mold. The Shade Sail is available in Brunswick Green and Desert Sand colors and two triangle sizes, 16'5" and 11'10" or in an 11'10'' and 17'9’’ square design.

Woven Area Rugs Give a Chic Finished Look

Decorative Woven Outdoor Rugs can enhance your deck space by adding a splash of color and creating a more inviting area with the contrast between the softness of the rug and a hard surface. Aside from the design benefits, woven rugs also provide many functional aspects. They will create traction in high slip areas, absorb loud noises, and they certainly are more comfortable to walk on barefoot. They are very resistant to color fading from the sun, oblivious to the rain and surf and can be easily cleaned with a brush and hose which makes them an ideal choice for life on the sea.

Stay Bright with Rechargeable Outdoor Candles

Rechargeable outdoor candles have gained their instant popularity by offering an attractive, long lasting outdoor light that is uncomplicated and hassle-free. Rechargeable outdoor candles will give a realistic and refined glow to an interior or exterior of a boat. Each candle is made of silicone and contains an LED light bulb with a built-in micro chip that replicates a natural flickering candle light. Enjoy entertaining or a quiet night for two with a simple and elegant candle that will stay bright for hours.
