Interior Yacht Design / Living Room & Kitchen
Day Dream
A yacht interior proposal for the living room and kitchen area, exploring a soft, warm, and compact domestic atmosphere within a limited marine space.
Overview
Soft domestic comfort inside a compact yacht interior.
Day Dream transforms a yacht’s shared living area into a calm, intimate, and flexible interior. The living room, kitchen, dining table, and cinema scenario are organized as one continuous space.
The project is developed through two parts: an overall research and spatial design process, followed by a detailed refinement of the lounge, galley, furniture, materials, lighting, and atmosphere.
Part 01
Overall Research & Spatial Design
This part defines the user, mood, material system, plan organization, lighting strategy, and spatial sections of the yacht salon.
User Portrait
A floating room for escape, gathering, and quiet rituals.
The design begins with a fictional user profile: a young creative who sees yachting as both a temporary escape from the city and a platform for intimate social experiences. Reading, writing, drinking, watching films, and spending time with friends become the main onboard rituals.
Moodboard
Warm, pastel, and quietly cinematic.
The visual direction combines peach-pink upholstery, sage green accents, warm oak, soft textiles, pale stone surfaces, and drink-like translucent colors. The atmosphere is light, gentle, and relaxed — closer to a floating living room than a conventional cabin.
Spatial Strategy
One compact room, multiple living modes.
The layout brings together kitchen, dining, lounge seating, storage, and circulation within a compact yacht footprint. The sofa wraps along the edge of the cabin, while the central table becomes a flexible anchor for dining, lounging, and cinema use.
Lighting
Layered light for day, evening, and cinema atmosphere.
Spotlights 4000K / focused functional lighting
Wall Lamp 4000K / soft vertical accent
LED Soft Strips 3000K / warm indirect atmosphere
Sections
Drawing the relationship between cabin envelope, furniture, and body.
The section drawings clarify the spatial relationship between the curved yacht shell, built-in furniture, lowered galley, and human scale.
Part 02
Detail Development
This part refines the salon through material tactility, furniture scale, lighting atmosphere, and detailed renderings of the lounge, galley, and private cinema condition.
Lounge Detail
The sofa becomes a soft built-in landscape.
The lounge is developed as a continuous blush-toned seating landscape. Textured upholstery, warm pillows, a soft throw, and low indirect lighting make the compact salon feel more residential, relaxed, and luxurious.
Coffee Table & Sunken Galley
Daily rituals organized around a low table and a lowered kitchen edge.
The coffee table and galley are developed together as the functional center of the salon. The low stone table anchors the lounge, while the slightly sunken galley separates cooking and preparation without cutting visual connection to the living area.
Marble, brass edges, warm cabinetry, and small tabletop objects create a tactile transition between domestic rituals, food preparation, and social gathering.
Day and Night
Hover to shift the salon from daylight to cinema atmosphere.
Panorama
A continuous social interior between two sea-facing windows.
The panoramic view emphasizes the symmetry of the lounge areas, the warm central table, and the way natural light opens the compact yacht interior toward the sea.
Private Cinema
The living room turns into a shared viewing room.
At night, the living area becomes a private cinema. The screen, sofa layout, and dimmed lighting create a collective viewing condition without requiring a separate room.
