The Shaker kitchen design is favoured throughout interior design for its timeless aesthetic and simple, clean cabinetry. This classic design was created by a religious group known as the "shaking Quakers" in the 1700s; they believed in social equality and were known for their very simple lifestyle.
They believed all furniture should be crafted with intention and practicality and kept simple with clean, sharp lines and no unnecessary adornment.
Here at Minerva, we understand that everyone's taste and style are different, so we have created four kitchen collections, all inspired by the traditional shaker design with a few differences to ensure there is something for everyone! Keep reading to discover our Shaker collections and find which one is best for you!
Ferrara
Our Ferrara is our traditional shaker kitchen design, with its crisp, uncluttered lines and simple cabinetry design; the Ferrara collection is the embodiment of a Shaker kitchen. Our Ferrara collection may be simple, but there is much more than meets the eye, especially when you open the cabinets. By integrating appliances, we can hide modern technology behind this iconic design.
Tuscany
Our Tuscany collection is our more rustic design; it doesn't feature any fancy extras, just the natural beauty of our cabinetry. We always hand-paint our Tuscany designs to ensure the paint highlights the grain of the wood, creating a prominent grain throughout the design, perfect for those looking to incorporate wooden textures into their home and looking for a homely country-style kitchen.
Bologna
Our Bologna collection is inspired by the classic shaker design. The pencil beading outlines the doors and drawers, adding a touch of elegance to the traditional shaker kitchen, making it our most popular collection. We stand by the shaker concept as this added feature keeps the design simple and easy to look after. Perfect for those looking for an elegant shaker kitchen design.
Florence
Last but certainly not least is our Florence collection; this kitchen design features our Georgian-style bolection moulding on the front of the kitchen cabinetry. This small addition completely changes the characteristics of this classic shaker and gives the Florence collection its signature flourish.
