What is a shaker kitchen?
Shaker kitchens are a popular choice of cabinet door and drawer design, characterised by their elegant simplicity with a flat centre panel recessed in a symmetrical, straight edged frame. Traditionally, they feature simple turned wooden button handles and are often made of hardwood painted in muted pastel colours of grey, green, cream or blue.
Where do Shaker kitchens get their name?
Shaker kitchens continue to be as popular today as they were in the 18th Century when the Shakers broke away from the American Quaker movement and came over to settle in England. Their worship style led them to favour simplicity and minimalism, and so the classic Shaker style kitchen was created, and remains popular today.
Are Shaker kitchens traditional?
Bower Willis Designs create traditional Shaker kitchens that conform to the simple design style which continues to be widely used in both modern and traditional homes. It’s elegant simplicity means that it will never go out of fashion.
For farmhouse kitchen styling, why not look at incorporating Belfast sinks and open end shelves with wicker or fabric storage baskets, and stoneware accessories into your kitchen design.
Can shaker kitchens be modern?
If you’d like to modernise the classic Shaker kitchen style in your home, why not think about changing the traditional button handles, pull bar or cup handles.
For a sleeker, contemporary ‘handleless’ styling, why not choose a hybrid solution bringing a handleless design together with a Shaker kitchen with ‘push to open’ catches or finger rail grooves in the cabinet to allow doors and drawers to be easily opened and closed without the need for any handles.
Bold, solid regency hues of moss green and deep blues are popular and look stunning in Shaker kitchen designs with contrasting brass, copper or brushed nickel taps and accents, and complimentary colours for the cabinets and doors can create a dramatic framed effect.
