Universal Elegance of Shaker Kitchen

Origin of the Shaker Kitchen

Shaker kitchens got their name from the religious community of Shakers, founded in the 18th century in the USA. The Shakers promoted a simple and functional lifestyle, which influenced their furniture and architecture. For this reason, shaker kitchens were created with functionality, durability, and aesthetics, paying special attention to quality materials and craftsmanship.

Characteristics of the Shaker Style

Shaker kitchens are characterized by clean lines, natural materials, and subdued colors. Furniture is often made from solid wood with flat doors, also known as 'panel fronts'.

The most commonly used colors are white, beige, gray, and black: perfect shades for creating a calm and soothing atmosphere. However, modern decorative trends are moving towards updating shaker kitchens with new color palettes of muted tones. Thus, anthracite gray, deep green, and dark blue now adorn these resolutely classic kitchens.

For cabinet hardware we choose faucets with handles, very pleasant to use. On one side of the sink we apply a white ceramic plaque: wide and deep, it resembles country houses and fits perfectly for play. In this way, shaker kitchens were included in the most beautiful English cottages!

Functionality First

One of the core principles of Shaker design is functionality. A shaker kitchen is designed for convenience and efficient workspace. Cabinets usually have many shelves and drawers, providing optimal storage.

Kitchen islands are often present, offering additional workspace for cooking and serving as a gathering place for family and friends.

Durability and Craftsmanship

Shaker kitchens are known for their durability and quality craftsmanship. Furniture is made with care, favoring natural materials such as solid wood. This approach emphasizes the longevity of kitchen modules, avoiding fleeting trends. Investing in a shaker kitchen means creating an eternal space that will last for years.
