Shaker vs Modern Kitchen Cabinets: What's The Difference?

Your kitchen is the centre of your home and can be one of the most social areas, so your personality and taste must shine through your design and be perfect for your lifestyle. Whether your taste is more Shaker or more Modern, we have a variety of designs and styles for you to create your dream kitchen.

THE SHAKER KITCHEN

A traditional Shaker-style kitchen embodies simplicity and minimalism; the cabinetry features flat panels with defined lines and edges and little decoration, creating simple designs that people have loved for centuries.

The Shaker kitchen design adds many benefits to your kitchen; for example, the simplicity of the cabinets gives them a timeless design that can transition through the decades. They act as a good canvas for creative hardware choices, and due to their simple design, it takes minimal effort to wipe the cabinets down, and they stay looking clean. We have 5 different Shaker-inspired collections for you to choose from. We have classic, traditional designs, but we also have a few layouts with unique features to bring a subtle, modern twist into your creation.

THE MODERN KITCHEN

As beautiful and classic as our Shaker collections are, you may be looking for a more Modern style. Our Modern collections feature innovative design and storage solutions whilst creating a minimalistic and sleek aesthetic. Modern kitchens are all about efficiency, so they are designed to feature clever solutions and unique technology. A contemporary kitchen can add instant style and sophistication to your home based on the smooth cabinetry and luxurious detailing. We have 2 modern kitchen collections for you to choose from; each collection has its own unique way of opening and closing its cabinetry.

If you want to explore our collections further and gain more inspiration, we have a projects page full of various kitchens we have designed over the years. Or, if you would like to come and see all of our collections in person, you can arrange a showroom appointment and one of our experienced designers will take you through our process.
