A Framed Door with More Than One Look
Shaker refers to a door with a framed edge and recessed centre panel. The width of that frame, the finish, the handles and the worktop change its character. It can form the basis of a classic room or a simpler contemporary kitchen.

Practical choices
Choose the Details Around the Door
Compare the frame proportions at full size. Small drawers, tall cupboards and wide doors can show the same profile differently.
Bring your worktop and handle choices into the comparison. A restrained handle and simple surface can give a different result from decorative hardware and warmer furniture details.

Shaker Kitchens: Your Questions
Answers to help you choose your next step.
Is a shaker kitchen the same as a traditional kitchen?+
Shaker is a particular door profile. Traditional describes the wider style of the room. A shaker door can be used in either a classic or a more contemporary design.
Can shaker doors work with a modern room?+
Yes. The frame proportions, colour, handles and surrounding materials can create a cleaner, more contemporary appearance. Compare complete combinations rather than the door on its own.
What should I check when choosing a shaker finish?+
Ask about the door construction, finish and care instructions for the actual product being quoted. Similar-looking doors can have different materials and maintenance requirements.
