Our expertise spans from steel hull fabrication to luxury interior outfitting, offering shipowners fully integrated design and execution. In today’s fast-evolving maritime sector, Accomar leads with modern ship interior ideas that prioritize efficiency, comfort, and long-term value.
In this content, we’ll explore innovative modern ship interior design ideas based on Accomar’s global experience across cruise ships, ferries, fishing vessels, and cargo fleets.
Top Modern Ship Interior Design Trends for 2025
Marine interiors are evolving rapidly. At Accomar, we apply forward-looking design strategies to help shipowners stay ahead:
- Multifunctional layouts that adapt to both work and leisure onboard
- Warm minimalist styles using curved lines and natural tones
- Digitally integrated environments with smart lighting and sensors
- Biophilic elements like green walls and wood-effect surfaces
Optimizing Ship Layouts for Efficiency and Comfort
A ship’s layout affects everything from crew productivity to passenger mood. Accomar approaches layout planning as a strategic tool, balancing:
- Traffic flow and emergency access paths
- Storage solutions integrated into seating and beds
- Flexible partitions for multi-use zones
- Ergonomic positioning of technical equipment and controls
Material Innovations for High-Performance Marine Interiors
Material choice directly affects interior longevity and compliance. We select materials that meet marine-grade standards while enhancing the onboard experience:
- Fire-rated, low-VOC laminates and textiles
- Waterproof, anti-slip flooring systems for wet zones
- Lightweight composite panels for better fuel efficiency
- Acoustic foam inserts for soundproofing in cabins
Modular Design Solutions for Fast Refits and Flexibility
Refits must be fast and scalable. Accomar develops modular design solutions to reduce downtime and enable future upgrades:
- Pre-built cabin kits tailored to vessel type
- Clip-in wall panels for easy maintenance
- Adjustable lighting systems pre-wired for quick installation
One of our most rewarding projects was redesigning a cargo ship’s crew lounge. Instead of basic seating and dull lighting, we introduced soft LED light strips and curved acoustic wall panels. The crew’s reaction said it all — one officer told us it was the first time he felt “at home” on the vessel. That moment reminded us that good design isn’t just visual — it’s emotional.
