Shaker Kitchen
Shaker-style cabinet doors are a popular line because they are so flexible. Shaker-Style enhance both traditional and/or modern designs depending on what you pair them with. Add lighting, tile and hardware ideas and you really can change the tone and overall style of a kitchen.
Traditional Nickel or Steel Knobs and Cup Pulls
Shaker cabinets offer simple, clean lines, and you often can see them paired with unadorned cabinet hardware. Whether your style is vintage or modern, you’ll find that a Shaker door is one of the most versatile doors styles available. A vintage-style kitchen with white Shaker cabinets is often seen finished with a combination of timeless cup or cup pulls and knobs.
For drawers 600mm and wider, two cup pulls are often used. Traditionally you’ll see knobs on doors and cup pulls on drawers.
