What Is a Shaker Kitchen?

Luxury kitchen renovations come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and styles. With a designer kitchen to match every taste, it can become confusing to differentiate and decide on the right bespoke renovation for your home.

At AOK Kitchens, we offer luxury kitchen renovations in Contemporary, Traditional and Shaker styles; and one of the questions we hear the most is – what exactly is a Shaker Kitchen?

Timeless Shaker Kitchen Design

Shaker kitchens, including the doors, cabinets and drawers, are a style of kitchen design that features a flat centre panel and raised square edges that have very minimal detailing.

Dating back to the mid-18th century; Shaker kitchens combine elegant simplicity with functionality. With detailed craftsmanship, we can ensure that the charm of the original Shaker Style kitchens shines through with your bespoke kitchen design.

Shaker Kitchens in Modern Homes

Historically, Shaker kitchens were painted bold colours like red, yellow, green or blue to add depth and style to the home, or an alternative option was to oil the wood for a more natural aesthetic.

Nowadays you have the choice to follow the traditional style of the Shaker design or add your own touch to modernise your new bespoke kitchen. With a wide range of colour palettes, finishes and luxury kitchen appliances you can transform your kitchen into a space completely unique to your lifestyles and aesthetic preferences.

Colour Palettes

The colour of your kitchen plays a huge role in the overall look and mood of the room. Bright airy colours create a space filled with light, whereas darker tones add depth to the space.

Worktops, Finishes and Appliances

The worktops, finishes and appliances you have installed in your kitchen can make a huge difference in the overall aesthetic. Choose from unique stone worktops in granite, quartz, and sintered stone, or opt for a wooden or Corian worktop.

Finishes are available in a range of colours, so you can design a home that is perfectly on trend or create a space unlike anything else. Take a look at our full range of luxury kitchen appliances to find the perfect product to enhance the overall design and functionality of your home.
