Social
Spaces that connect
The dinette, saloon and galley form one flowing place to cook and spend time together.
Oakums build no. 45
Rayleigh Scatterings
A bright, sociable Oakums interior with confident colour and a flowing sequence of living spaces.
The visual story
A bright interior built around sociable colour.
Rayleigh Scatterings uses vivid turquoise seating and lively patterned upholstery as the centre of the scheme. Warm oak framing and pale walls steady the palette, allowing the colour to feel joyful rather than overwhelming.
The galley is arranged beneath generous roof glazing, with pale worktops reflecting light deeper into the boat. Dining, lounging and cooking remain closely connected, while each zone is given its own identity through lighting, textiles and fitted furniture.
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.
Daylight
Drawn into the centre
Rooflights and reflective surfaces brighten areas beyond the side windows.
Character
Colour with purpose
Turquoise and pattern create memorable focal points against a calm oak framework.
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.
