# Rustic Luxury Boathouses This Gorgeous Boathouse Brings Opulent Accommodations to London's Canal By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2018-09-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-boathouse References: [treehugger](https://www.treehugger.com/tiny-houses/the-boathouse-london.html) & [boathouselondon](https://boathouselondon.co.uk/) The Boathouse London is a wonderfully opulent but unabashedly rustic luxury boathouse, located on a floating park in London's Paddington Basin, that offers a truly unique accommodation experience in a gorgeous setting right in one of the world's great cities. This particular luxury boathouse was envisioned by Cara Louise Furby as part of a collaboration with MADE.com. The boathouse features an array of high-class amenities such as a large bedroom and bathroom, a rooftop entertaining area, a fully-equipped bathroom and designer fixtures throughout. Guests can even hire a boat captain to give them a tour of the Grand Union Canal, or utilize the space to host parties and other events. At $282 a night, this boathouse is clearly a luxury accommodation space, but its liberal use of wood and other earthy materials lends it a wonderfully rustic aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rustic Luxury Accommodations:** Opportunity for luxury accommodations that combine opulent amenities with a rustic aesthetic. - **Floating Accommodation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for unique accommodations located on floating platforms. - **Collaborative Design:** Trend of collaborative design projects that bring together different creative professionals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for the hospitality industry to create luxury accommodations with a rustic feel. - **Design and Decor:** Industry trend towards using natural materials and rustic aesthetics in high-end design and decor. - **Tourism and Events:** Innovative offerings in tourism and event industries by providing unique floating accommodation spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Waterside Retreat Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bora-boral.md) - [Floating River Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-river-cabin.md) - [Sleek Compact Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blatto-boat.md) - [Village-Luke Charming Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botree-hotel.md) - [Riverside Scenic Calming Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boatyard-hotel.md) - [Hot Tub Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacruzzi.md) - [Arctic Floating Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vipp-guesthouse.md) - [Lakeside Lab Hub Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boathouse-zuka.md) - [Solar Powered Luxe Treehouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baltic.md)
