Social space
Made for company
Dining, cooking and seating are connected so conversation can continue throughout the main cabin.
Oakums build no. 36
Entertainer
A generous Oakums interior documented across living, joinery and finishing details.
The visual story
A boat designed to welcome people in.
Entertainer pairs pale grey cabinetry with warm oak and unapologetically bold magenta upholstery. Copper-toned surfaces and vivid exterior signwriting give the commission a sense of theatre, but the strong colour is balanced by clear circulation, generous worktops and disciplined fitted furniture.
The long galley is arranged as a genuine social space, with roof glazing bringing light over the work area and display cupboards adding warmth after dark. The sleeping space is quieter and more restrained, showing how a bold overall identity can still make room for calm, private zones.
Design in detail
An individual boat, held together by one clear idea.
The photographs show how colour, light, fitted joinery and practical decisions work together. The choices belong to this commission; the same design discipline can be taken in a completely different direction for your own Oakums.
What the photographs reveal
Character with purpose.
A beautiful boat still needs to support cooking, relaxing, storage, movement and life on the water.
Colour
Personality with control
Magenta, copper and orange are used as deliberate focal points against oak, grey and cream.
Practicality
A working interior
Long worktops, full-height storage and a clear route through the boat support everyday use.
Selected photographs
A considered record of the build.
Each page uses up to ten genuinely different photographs, selected to reveal the rooms, materials and craftsmanship without repeating the same view. Only facts confirmed by Oakums are included.
A starting point for your own brief
Take the inspiration, not the template.
Every photograph can prompt a useful conversation about proportion, materials, lighting or storage. Oakums will use those preferences to create a coherent boat around your own priorities rather than reproducing somebody else's interior.
