I'm pondering the idea of an interior face lift in companionways, salon and cabins....
Newer models of the same boat have adopted a half wood / half textile look and it's much brighter and has a nicer feel to it than the all-wood in my view.
Not necessarily a DIY job to get it done right but it also doesn't strike me as too difficult with a new waist high "dado rail" covering the transition from wood to textile on the walls and probably squeeze in the fabric behind the architrave around the doors.
Thoughts on the level of complexity that lies ahead on this seemingly simple (but nothing on boats is simple) facelift?
Old style.......

New style......(obviously the lighter wood makes a big difference too.....I am not suggesting changing that!!!)
