What is a shaker style kitchen?
At Ornate Kitchens & Interiors, we understand the enduring appeal of shaker kitchens. Offering a timeless aesthetic that compliments homes of all shapes and sizes shaker style kitchens are often seen as a more traditional design of kitchen cabinets here in the UK.
What is Shaker Style?
Shaker style kitchen cabinets are built up of 5 key components, a single flat center panel that's bordered by 4 simple square-edged timbers creating a frame. It's a traditional kitchen design concept that takes inspiration from the Shaker religious community, known for its values of simplicity, utility, and craftsmanship.
Shaker kitchen doors are certainly seen as a more traditional style of kitchen cabinetry that's renowned for its clean lines and timeless aesthetics however they also effortlessly complement contemporary interiors and the flat panel can have a recessed or raised profile, adding depth and texture to the design.
A versatile cabinet design that lends itself to a variety of colours
Shaker kitchens are often seen in neutral colours, such as white, cream, or grey. This simplicity in colour allows for easy customisation and personalisation with other elements like furnishings, backsplashes and countertops. If you're thinking about introducing coloured shaker kitchen doors to your property then don't be afraid to go bold!
We've produced shaker style kitchens in dark blue and even vibrant orange with brilliant results. Boldly coloured shaker kitchen doors are certainly something you shouldn't be afraid of.
