There are many factors to keep
in mind when designing a
bedding project, such as how
the fabrics used contribute to
the overall impression of the
space. Particular care must be
taken when mixed fabrics and
textures are selected by the
client for the bed in order to
ensure they mesh well together,

oats give marine fabricators plenty of chances to
showcase their skills and some of the best areas
on the vessel for doing so are the sleeping quarters.
Whether people are bunking down in the
main cabin or luxuriating in a stateroom, bedding
projects in particular allow marine fabricators to fully
unleash their interior design creativity.
Consider a refi t project worked on by Captain Krisha
Plauché, principal designer/owner of Onboard Interiors LLC.
Located in Marblehead, Mass., the full-service design company
specializes in custom marine interiors for private and
commercial power and sailboats, as well as superyachts and
historical J Class yachts.
" The vessel's name was from Lord of the Rings and we ran
with the theme on board, " Plauché recalls. " We designed a
custom bedspread for the master stateroom with a giant black
dragon tail monogrammed into the top of the bedspread-it
looked like the dragon had crawled under the bed. We also used
glow-in-the-dark thread with secret messages in the fabric. "
The bedspread took about a month to fi nish (the entire
project was nine months in the yard). Because the company
used a custom monogrammer based in Maine-making preplanning
key-the team had to mark the fabric ahead of the
quilting and sewing, mailing it back and forth, adding to the
spread's completion time.
Katie Bradford is the owner of Custom Marine Canvas,
headquartered in Noank, Conn. The company creates custom-designed
and handcrafted canvas-based products for
boats and waterfront homes and also offers full sail service.
One of her favorite bedding projects involved a fi shing boat
where the wife wanted to do the interior in a " grand style. "
For the bedding, Bradford selected coordinating fabrics in
brown, rust and gold, complementing the carpet.
" I had pretty much carte blanche for the design of the quilting
and the pillows, " she says. " It was a winter project so I could
take all the time I wanted. I made custom buttons out of polycarbonate
and foam that were the diamond shape of a motif on
one of the fabrics. It took about two months to fi nish. "
