Soft colour, natural warmth
Sage, teal and mint sit comfortably against pale walls and honey-toned oak.
Oakums build no. 28
Willow
A warm oak interior with practical storage, fitted seating and carefully integrated appliances.
The visual story
Fresh colour and beautifully practical storage.
Willow feels light, calm and immediately usable. Soft sage cabinetry, a mint-toned refrigerator and teal seating bring colour into an oak-lined interior without overwhelming it. White surfaces and a herringbone splashback keep the galley crisp and bright.
The photographs also show the less glamorous decisions that make a boat work well: open shelving, fitted baskets, a dining booth, uninterrupted worktops and a clear path through the cabin. Storage is treated as part of the architecture, so useful capacity does not become visual clutter.
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.
Storage
Useful and accessible
Shelves, baskets and fitted furniture make everyday belongings easy to reach and easy to put away.
Flow
Compact but unforced
Furniture stays close to the cabin edges, preserving a clear route and long interior view.
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.
