WHAT IS A SHAKER KITCHEN?

A Shaker kitchen is a kitchen style characterized by its clean lines, functional details and timeless look. The style originates from the American Shaker movement of the 18th century, where simplicity and craftsmanship were at the center. The Shaker kitchen was designed to make everyday life easier – with thoughtful solutions, durable materials and a design language where every detail serves a purpose.

What sets a classic Shaker kitchen apart are the framed doors, which are framed by a simple wooden framework, often in solid wood. The doors are free of unnecessary decoration, giving a clean and balanced look that suits both modern homes and turn-of-the-century apartments.

Characteristics of a shaker kitchen

The kitchens are loved for their timeless design and thoughtful simplicity. They combine traditional craftsmanship with functional details that make the kitchen both beautiful and practical. Below we have collected the most distinctive features that define a classic Shaker kitchen.

Stylish - A modern dining area features a stylish round table, four black chairs, a hanging ceiling light and a striking black and white photograph. Large windows allow natural light to elegantly fill the room.

Solid wood

Shaker kitchens are traditionally built from solid wood – a material that ages beautifully and gives the kitchen a natural weight and authenticity. The solid construction not only contributes to a robust appearance, but also to durability. The natural grain and texture of the wood gives each kitchen its unique character and reinforces the feeling of genuine craftsmanship.

The frame shutters

The Shaker kitchen’s signature doors consist of a smooth “mirror” surrounded by a narrow wooden frame. The clean design language creates a timeless and harmonious expression that fits in both classic and modern environments. The frame shutter is simple – but never boring.

Stylish - A stylish minimalist kitchen features bright cabinets, wall shelves and a round table. A striking black and white photo is displayed above the counter.

The color scale

They are often characterized by a muted and natural colour palette – think cream, grey, sage green or dark blue. The tones reinforce a sense of calm and timelessness, allowing the materials and craftsmanship to take center stage.
