A shaker kitchen can be easily recognised by the simple, functional look of its cabinets. The doors have wide boarders and rails that sit proud of a flat panel in the centre. This plain and unobtrusive approach to kitchen storage gives homeowners excellent versatility, and you can dress your shaker kitchen in a contemporary feel or strip it back to its natural beauty and simplicity for a more traditional kitchen.
Shaker kitchens typically use whites and subtle, muted pastel colours. Today, we’re also seamlessly integrating bolder colour choices such as deep blues, greens and greys, giving a distinctly modern edge to the classic shaker.
Here are some of the main colours we use in our shaker designs.

A shaker kitchen is a minimalist and practical kitchen design. Favouring craftsmanship and detailed joinery over decorative elements, the shaker style uses clean lines with little detail and profiling. Shaker cabinets are characterised by the recessed panel and four-piece wood frame design of the cabinet doors.
Shaker kitchens’ minimalist look and feel lends itself well to being an evergreen kitchen style. The clean, uncluttered lines of the inset shaker cabinet don’t look old fashioned, but homely, comfortable and practical. Shaker kitchens are a timeless look, meaning they’ll never go out of fashion.
The simple, undetailed look of shaker kitchen cabinets can lend itself well to modern and contemporary kitchen designs. The recessed centre panel of the shaker cabinet is a more modern look than traditional-looking raised panels. This is why the shaker is a popular choice in modern kitchens.
It is called a shaker kitchen because it follows the same style of craftmanship and aesthetic ethos used by the shakers. The shakers were a religious group originating in Manchester in the 1700s. Highly resourceful and self-sufficient, they produced furniture renowned for its quality and attractive craftsmanship.
