"Better Fabrics and materials put new comfort in cushions.” Custom shops have benefited as the fabric selection is bigger for their customer base, says Krisha Plauche, principal designer at Onboard Interiors in Marblehead, MA”

“For the casino cruise ships that Onboard Interiors worked on, the chosen fabrics needed to be durable, easy to clean and vibrant. That’s why Plauché and her team had meetings with vessel owners to decide overall design. 'We also met with the crew to decide which areas were in most need of repair and why' she says.”

"Onboard Interiors LLC, Marblehead, Mass., has increased the portion of work
done via the internet. Using technology in this way saves time previously
spent traveling to and from boats and in face-to-face meetings. Plauché says
it also improves customer service since using email cuts the time necessary
to respond to customer queries. Design plans, photos and estimates can be
relayed at any time, while face-to-face meetings are restricted to business
hours."

"'Lead your customers in the right direction because they are looking to be
educated, too," Plauché says. "They want the best fabric to suit their
needs. And we want to help them fill that need. We really try to educate the
customers and steer them in the right direction so they will have years of
trouble-free use in this difficult marine environment.'"
