Features and Types of Shaker kitchen doors

Shaker cabinets feature a simple, rectangular design frame and recessed panel.  There are 2 main types of shaker doors available- Plain and Lined. To explain the difference between the two, you need understand the doors traditional 5 piece construction- 4 rectangular pieces that make up the frame (or “stiles”), and the centre panel.  Lined shaker doors make a feature of the “joints” in the frame, whereas Plain shaker doors conceal the joints. We have 28 different doors designs available, with various stile widths.

Different Stile Widths

Narrow frame shaker doors are characterized by slim stiles, while wide frame shaker doors have broader stiles that highlight the shaker style design. Narrow frame shaker doors are perfect for those who want a minimalist look, while wide frame shaker doors are ideal for those who want a more traditional feel. Often seen in Country Cottage and Farmhouse style kitchens.  We offer all designs in over 60 colours and finishes including natural wood, painted, matt, legno and even textured effects such as concrete.

Decorative Details

Additional decorative details available are beading and bevelling. Beaded shaker kitchens are popular choice for those who prefer a more detailed look. The beaded design adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Bevelling adds a more subtle detail but has a contemporary look overall.

This style has stood the test of time and is now considered a classic look that will never go out of style. Shaker kitchen cabinets offer a minimalist look, making them a perfect choice for modern kitchens. Not only are they easy to clean and maintain but they’re also durable and hardwearing.  It’s no wonder they’re such an increasingly popular choice here in the UK.
