An ode to time-honoured Shaker principles where simplicity is beautiful. Our Shaker kitchen collection celebrates pared-down design that lets the beauty of the craftsmanship shine bright.
The Shaker door is a truly timeless classic style, balancing quality traditional proportions with clean lines and understated elegance. Its unassuming nature and effortless style allow it to sit perfectly within both modern and classic homes alike.
Shaker cabinet doors consist of five panels: two stiles, two rails, and a flat recessed panel in the centre. By using traditional construction methods and strong materials, there’s a high level of craftsmanship that goes into a 1909 Shaker kitchen.
Shaker kitchen doors are an unassuming yet elegant design that can effortlessly complement a range of different elements in your kitchen, including handles and worksurfaces. The shaker cabinet style feels equally at home in a modern minimalist kitchen as it does in a classic or contemporary house.
The Shaker style is versatile, which allows for a selection of decorative beading options to be included in your Shaker kitchen. They include the smooth Quarter Round design, the elegant Georgian beading, and the decorative Half Pencil & Scalloped style. An outer frame can also be paired with Shaker kitchen doors to create an Ovolo style.
The Shaker style dates back to the 18th century, and the design principles behind Shaker doors haven’t changed. However, with the versatility offered by the design, Shaker kitchens have been constantly evolving to adapt to the development of styles and technology. The Shaker door style is evergreen, meaning it’s ideal for a long-lasting kitchen.
There’s not a colour in our paint palette that doesn’t take to the effortlessly elegant nature of our Shaker doors. Here, in the heritage colour of Storm Blue with Antique Bronze handles, hinges, and a traditional cornice; it shows how Shaker can suit modern country homes that aren’t afraid of a dash of daring colour.
