Kitchen Type 01

Shaker KitchenTimeless five-piece doors

About this style

The most loved kitchen in the UK, and for good reason: a simple five-piece door with a recessed centre panel that feels at home in a Victorian terrace and a new-build extension alike.

A shaker door is made from a solid frame of four pieces around a flat, recessed centre panel. That quiet frame gives the kitchen depth and shadow without fuss, so it never dates and never tires.

We make our shaker kitchens in any painted colour, from soft greys and creams to deep greens and navy, and pair them with cup handles, knobs or slim bars. Mix two colours between wall and base units, add a marble-topped island or a glazed larder, and the same door can look classic or completely modern.

Why our clients choose it

  • Suits period and modern homes alike
  • Painted in any colour, and repaintable later
  • Handles are easy to change as tastes move on
  • Hard-wearing, family-friendly and timeless
