Interior Environments with Purpose, Poise and Proven Experience
At Stephens Waring Design, interior design is a fundamental pillar of our full-service vessel and architectural work. From the earliest structural sketches to final finish, interiors are conceived in full integration with naval architecture and functionality — giving you spaces that feel both purposeful and elevated.
Whether crafting a brand-new build or refitting a legacy craft, we treat interiors with the same care and conviction as we do hull lines, systems, and performance.
Our Approach: Integrated Design
Interior layout, joinery, materials, lighting, and spatial flow are conceived from day one—parallel to hull design, systems engineering, and structural planning. This ensures harmonious sight-lines, efficient use of weight and volume, and well-resolved acoustic and thermal environments.
Craft & Emotion
We design interiors around the way people live on board: how they move, how they gather, where they pause, and how natural light animates a space. The detailing of joinery, texture of materials, and rhythm of movement reflect a deep understanding of life at sea.
Tailored Narrative
Every vessel carries a story—its owner’s lifestyle, its intended waters, its unique spirit. Our work on the classic yacht Iroquois exemplifies this approach: in collaboration with Alfred’s Upholstery & Co. and interior designer Megan Magill, we delivered a refined yet welcoming aesthetic that honors the vessel’s character while elevating comfort
