Shaker Kitchens

Celebrating simplicity, functionality and enduring beauty, Shaker kitchens are customisable to suit any home. At Portree, we pride ourselves on curating bespoke Shaker kitchens that capture the essence of this iconic style while harmonising with modern living. Discover how we craft beautiful Shaker kitchens and get inspired by some of our previous work.

What is a Shaker Style Kitchen?

A Shaker style kitchen refers to a design aesthetic inspired by the Shaker movement, a religious community known for emphasising simplicity, craftsmanship, and functionality. They are characterised by their recessed panel doors, often with simple, square or rectangular frames. With little to no decoration, Shaker cabinets showcase the craftsmanship of the build.

Made from solid wood, the Shaker is practical, enduring and maximises organisation. Although neutral colours are typically used, you can customise the colour palette to your preferences.

Create Your Kitchen Dreams: Book a Virtual Appointment

If time is tight and you would prefer a virtual appointment, we offer 15-minute consultations over Google Meets. We will gather the same in-depth information as with a showroom visit, and can recommend Shaker door styles, colour schemes and appliances that suit your needs.

Effortless Elegance: Shaker Kitchen Cabinets & Doors

Shaker kitchen cabinets and doors are all about simplicity. Anything that isn’t functional won’t be featured in the design, resulting in clean, symmetrical lines. This craftsmanship will shine.

Whether you’re renovating your forever home or working in the trade and looking for a style that will appeal to as many future buyers as possible, the Shaker is the perfect choice. It’s versatile enough that matt, gloss and wood-grain finishes all look exquisite, so you can customise it to your heart’s content.

Based in the Leicestershire countryside, our experienced team handcrafts the units and doors from scratch, completely bespoke. Using reliable joinery techniques and state-of-the-art tools, your new kitchen will be the definition of quality.

FAQs

  • What is a Shaker kitchen vs a traditional kitchen?

    Shaker kitchens are known for their minimalist and functional design, featuring clean lines and recessed panel cabinets – they are versatile and suit any style of home. Whereas traditional kitchens embrace ornate details, and raised panel doors with decorative elements. They are ideal for country and farmhouse kitchens.

  • How much do Shaker kitchens cost?

    Opting for a bespoke Shaker kitchen doesn’t have to be expensive. The cost of a Shaker kitchen depends on factors such as the size of your space, the appliances you choose, the material of the worktop and the type of cabinets.

    On average, you can expect to pay from £2000 for a quality Shaker kitchen that is built to last.

  • Are Shaker kitchens hard to keep clean?

    Shaker kitchens are low maintenance, and the cabinets can be kept clean with a quick wipe. Since Shaker units don’t have intricate details, and the surfaces are smooth, they don’t collect too much dirt. We design kitchens with effective storage solutions to suit your lifestyle, so you can keep surfaces free of clutter; making cleaning a breeze!

  • Will Shaker cabinets ever go out of style?

    The Shaker style is truly timeless due to its clean design and functionality. Made of solid wood, the cabinets are durable and long-lasting. 

    Whilst Shaker cabinets won’t go out of style, certain finishes may evolve over time. For example, the choice of handles and paint colours can reflect a specific era or trend. To ensure your kitchen lasts for generations, you may wish to opt for neutral tones and simple hardware.

  • What are the alternatives to Shaker style cabinetry?

    Shaker kitchens are very popular due to their timeless charm. However, there are countless options to choose from.
