Shaker Kitchens

What is a Shaker-style kitchen?

Shaker kitchens are a popular choice – not least for their clean lines and simple, yet elegant design.

These kitchens are incredibly versatile and boast a timeless design that has stood the test of time and remains a favourite choice of many interior designers.

Whether you live in a cosy cottage or a modern apartment, a shaker style kitchen will make the most of your space to provide an uncluttered room that’s perfect for cooking, entertaining, working, and workouts.

Shaker kitchen cabinets often have recessed centre panel doors. The Shaker doors provide a sleek, modern look that blends with your overall Shaker kitchen design.

As standard, Shaker cabinets are manufactured from top-quality natural materials to ensure the longevity of your kitchen. However, there are several ways you can put your own stamp on them, from your choice of handles to the colour of your Shaker cupboards and the accessories you add throughout your kitchen.

How much does a Shaker kitchen cost?

Shaker kitchens can vary in price depending on numerous factors, including the size and layout of your kitchen and how many Shaker kitchen cabinets and drawers you need.

For example, larger, open-plan kitchen layouts are likely to cost more than smaller, more intimate Shaker kitchens. However, if you plan on putting your house on the market in the near future, investing a little extra on a grander kitchen with more Shaker kitchen cupboards and a kitchen island will increase your resale value.

The overall price you’ll pay can also depend on the style of your Shaker cabinets, as well as the materials they are made from.

Custom cabinets usually come at a higher price point, but they offer a higher level of flexibility, allowing you to create your dream kitchen.

Our Shaker kitchens are built to last. They’re constructed from the highest quality materials to ensure they maintain their gorgeous looks for many years – saving you the expense of replacements further down the line.

What colours should you choose for a Shaker kitchen?

Shaker style kitchens are synonymous with clean lines and minimalism. However, the colour of your painted Shaker cabinets will impact the overall look, feel, and atmosphere in your kitchen.

Often, darker colours absorb light and can make rooms feel small and cosy – so if you’re looking to create the illusion of a more spacious kitchen, consider a neutral colour scheme with lighter shades.

Blue, green, grey, and cream are particularly popular choices for Shaker kitchens.

Grey is a colour that was very much on-trend in 2023 and works well in most Shaker kitchens. However, increasingly more homeowners are looking to make more of a style statement, opting for blue kitchen cabinets that provide a contemporary feel.

Green-painted Shaker units can also make a statement while offering a peaceful and uplifting feel in one of the most visited rooms in the house.

For understated elegance, choose ivory or cream. These hues provide a crisp, clean, and modern aesthetic that’s guaranteed to brighten up a room that lacks natural light.
