Pops of colour add freshness to cabin decor. If you are bold and ambitious paint a floor tangerine. For a more modest injection of drama, go for cushions and throws in bright colours.
The best cabins aren’t necessarily big or fancy, or even well-located or highly equipped. They are places where fish are caught, books are read, games are played, naps are taken, marshmallows are roasted. No Wi-Fi, no television, no text messages.
