Galley
Detailed, not decorative
Olive cabinetry, pale worktops and herringbone tiling create a confident working kitchen.
Oakums build no. 20
Eve
A distinctive red Oakums documented through interior, exterior and hand painted signwriting.
The visual story
Quiet colours, crisp detailing and long views through the boat.
Eve uses a restrained palette of warm oak, soft grey upholstery and deep olive cabinetry. A pale herringbone splashback and lightly veined worktops sharpen the galley, while the curved breakfast bar softens the transition into the living space.
Continuous low-level and recessed lighting emphasises the length of the interior without cluttering it. Framed windows, Roman blinds and carefully placed circular glazing create rhythm along the cabin, and views to the water become part of the design rather than simply a backdrop.
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.
Sightlines
A clear route through
Low furniture and aligned openings allow the eye to travel naturally along the boat.
Lighting
Warmth at every level
Recessed ceiling lights and low-level illumination give the interior depth and practical task light.
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.
