What is a shaker style kitchen?

When you are searching for kitchen design ideas and see the word shaker, it is referring to a style of kitchen cabinets and doors that is minimal and simplistic but looks incredible. Shaker kitchen doors and cabinets feature a square framed design on a flat centre panel, often with minimal detailing as the uncluttered and sleek look speaks for itself.

This kitchen design emphasises clean lines with distinctive panelling so that it can fit perfectly in all homes, from modern to traditional and country.

What is good about a shaker kitchen?

Versatility

Shaker style designs are incredibly versatile, meaning that they can look good in different settings and finishes such as wood-grain, matt and gloss. Choose whether you would like to keep it bright and fresh looking with white finishes or whether you would like to go for a bespoke kitchen design with bold colours of your choice. This characteristic allows flexibility in your kitchen and the shaker style doors can work well with other features you are interested in having.

The simplified aesthetic of the shaker units allows you to explore your options for worktops. You may choose to opt for something that stands out and contrasts the colour and finish of your shaker doors, or you may want to go with a high-gloss worktop to maintain that brightened look and feel.

Are shaker kitchen designs expensive?

Shaker style kitchen designs can often be cheaper than other kitchen ranges, meaning it can be a cost-effective kitchen project that still produces exceptional results. However, with these cabinets comes the need for quality craftsmanship and talent to create shaker kitchen doors that are made to measure and level.

There are different types of shaker style doors and some require a more meticulous approach with high joinery skills, this can sometimes up the cost of the work but it is dependent on what you are looking for. Our UK kitchen suppliers can work with you to measure, create and fit your new kitchen.
