interior design choices

how far can your imagination take you

As can be imagined the interior and public space furnishings of Raffles are somewhere between that of a mega yacht and the most luxurious of transatlantic passenger liners. However, despite the luxury they are also designed for long life / low maintenance and safety with many features not found on any other ship.

Raffles main interior public spaces and her decks and passages are designed by the world renowned designer of mega yacht interiors, Donald Starkey.  There are also 10 different Standard Apartment designs by Don with a multitude of different decorating options from which owners can select. Uniquely Raffles’ owners can, if they wish, also have the freedom to design, subdivide, arrange, furnish and decorate their own individual homes.

If owners choose they may opt for the unique opportunity to live with Raffles while it is still being built. If they do so they will be provided with an interior design assistant who will work with them, finding and explaining to them, as required, how to use the huge range of exotic natural materials available and in finding the finest crafts people to help them to transform their apartment into the perfect custom home they have always dreamed of.

This includes the opportunity of having made by hand almost everything (except electronics and white goods) that will go into an apartment, including furniture, carpets, hand painted crockery, cut lead crystal glassware, silk lampshades, lacquered lamps and such things as embroidered linen tablecloths and napkins and bed linen.  These can all be made to owners own unique designs.
