A shaker kitchen is often a timeless yet elegant choice of kitchen in any home. A shaker kitchen’s homely aesthetic can add character to the heart of the home, which is what the kitchen is referred to as by many.
What defines a shaker kitchen?
A shaker kitchen is a simple, clean cut kitchen design often with inset panels that give the shaker kitchen design depth and sophistication. Shaker kitchens often effortlessly ooze quality and often are associated with high quality craftsmanship. Despite the association with craftsmanship, shaker kitchens can often be reasonably priced and can be accessorised to different interior tastes to make them unique and eye-catching.
Shaker kitchens are traditionally crafted out of wood, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be painted in whichever colour palette takes your fancy. Whether you’re interested in having a brand new coloured shaker kitchen installed or you would like to upcycle a used shaker kitchen with a lick of paint, a coloured shaker kitchen can set the tone in your home and make a statement whether it be a bold, vibrant statement through a multi-coloured shaker kitchen or an understated luxe country style shaker kitchen in creams, greens, or muted blues.
Once you have decided on the colour of your shaker kitchen, you can then turn to accessorising your kitchen. Door handles can transform a kitchen whether it’s the door leading into the kitchen or the handles on the shaker kitchen cupboards themselves, and you may want to make an impact. A popular choice of door handle for the door leading into your kitchen is our Fortessa Gotham Mystique Handle.
