From homes to horizons: Kurt Wallaeys redefines Deo Juvante's interiors
A designer's bold new challenge
We travel to Belgium to meet renowned interior designer Kurt Wallaeys, celebrated for his refined residential and commercial projects. Kurt shares his inspiration, creative process, and passion for timeless luxury interiors—and why he chose to take on the most ambitious project of his career: designing the interior of a next-generation explorer yacht.
Style meets seaworthiness
Designing for the open ocean is no ordinary task. It requires more than elegance—it demands a balance between aesthetics, marine engineering, technical precision, and the realities of long-term liveaboard life. Drawing on years of design expertise, Kurt collaborated with Deo Juvante founder Thierry Verstraete and LOMOcean Naval Architects to create an interior that is warm, resilient, and perfectly suited for a life lived at sea.
A home beyond the horizon
This story reveals how a designer known for luxury residences translates his craft into a floating world of comfort and purpose. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to merge style with seaworthiness, or how a yacht can truly feel like home on the open ocean, Kurt’s journey offers powerful inspiration.
