    Bring Your Boat Back to Life with Marine Furnishings

    Marine furnishings

    There are over 34,000 boats navigating 2,000 miles of waterways in Britain. So, if you’re a proud owner of a boat, be it a houseboat, narrowboat or speedboat, you’ll understand how liberating it can be to choose updated marine furnishings.

    Whether you’re relaxing with a fishing rod, watching the serene world go by or cruising with intent, taking in all the sights, doing it in style and comfort is almost unbeatable. For this to happen, you’re going to need marine furnishings oozing with class, offering optimal conditions for the beautiful day ahead.

    If your boat’s upholstery has seen better days and this is putting you off, fear not. Marine furnishings can completely transform your vehicle and allow you to journey the waterways, as elegantly as ever.

    A Renewed Appearance or a Whole Different Approach?

    When planning your boat facelift, there’s an initial question to answer before anything can start. Do you want to recreate the original interior of your leisure vehicle or take it in a completely different direction?

    If your boat is a little dated, this may be easy to answer – unless, of course, you prefer the classic and traditional look that older water-mobiles carry. If you’re leaning towards brand new visuals, there’s a massive range of colours, materials, styles and designs out there to create your perfect rebirth.

    On the other side of the fence, if you’re a lover of the vintage presentation, marine furnishings don’t have to involve damaging existing seat covers. In its simplest form, upholstery can be used to refill cushions and replace broken zips, giving you a renewed vehicle without taking from the authentic aura.

    Almost Unlimited Options

    If you have decided that you want to modernise your boat, there’s the matter of finding the perfect fabrics and materials to complement your leisure vehicle. Most upholstery providers will have an incredible selection to choose from and will happily allow you to peruse their range.

    Sample swatches and viewing previous projects should give you an idea of how a prospective fabric might look when your boat upholstery is complete. Whether you want a bright, zany aesthetic or are after a timeless and graceful appearance, you’re sure to find just the thing to suit your tastes and demands.

    Speed of Process

    In the UK, we seem to have drawn the short straw and have one of the shortest summers in the world. Many boat enthusiasts primarily venture out in the warmer months, so marine furnishings should preferably be quick projects without compromising on quality.

    Some boat upholstery specialists can provide a one-day turnaround time. This is usually done by dedicating one full day to a specific vehicle and ensuring the end product is completed swiftly and with plenty of care and attention to detail, allowing you to get on the water without wasting your time or your money.

    Marine Furnishings from Regal Furnishing

    Boat upholstery and marine furnishings can get your vehicle back in tip-top shape, exactly to your specific requirements.

    Here at Regal Furnishing, we have been helping boat lovers just like you to regain their water freedom by providing a service that suits almost any issue you can think of. Let us do the same for your houseboat, narrowboat or speedboat, and you could soon be feeling the breeze run over your head and the ripples of canals and rivers welcoming you to travel on them.

      Can thoroughly recommend Regal Furnishings in Ilkestone if you're considering renewing upholstery in a motorhome.
      After our initial visit to discuss, we arrived for the work to be done on a Wednedsay afternoon and departed Friday morning. We camped" out in their car park with EHU for a couple of nights whilst they worked their magic.
      We took the bus and spent an enjoyable day on the main refit day discovering Nottingham to amuse ourselves. (Recommend City of Caves and Justice museum)
      They did a whole upholstery refurb for us -Captains seats, rear lounge, head bangers! (as they affectionately call the upholstered bits above windows and as you go into cab) were all redone along with new foam- even with the IH logo embroidered in if desired on headrests.
      They also rejigged the rear cushion into 3, meaning we can more easily use the storage door in to the boot area from inside.
      Regal Furnishings are a company that truly is a pleasure to deal with.

    • Thank you to everyone at Regal Furnishings for a wonderful job and for making us so welcome! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of having theirs done!

    • I can not recommend this company enough. They turn up at your door at 7.30 am strip the Motorhome and have it all back together and on the road by 4.30 in the afternoon. I would also say the ladies/ team will kidnap your dog and spoil them rotten given half a chance as they did with our staff, Bella. Great people!

    • Just to say again,

    • Today we had our motorhome completely recovered in leather what a fabulous experience. We were looked after like one of the family, we arrived late last night offered a place with electric hook up nothing was too much trouble and safe behind metal gates. What can we say Michael was a true gentleman he came into our motorhome and checked everything made sure we had the best advice. Karen and the staff were kind and very friendly and the finished result had me in tears, I was amazed that in a day our motorhome looked stunning incredible workmanship. We are going back in January for new carpets and curtains. Thankyou regal no one is as good as you. So anyone and everyone looking for a revamp should look no further than Regal furnishing. Thank you so much guys!
