Shaker Cabinet Kitchen Ideas

The straight lines and simple ornamentation of shaker cabinets lend themselves to many kitchen design styles — from modern to traditional and everything in between. If you're going for the ever-popular farmhouse kitchen, pair white or gray cabinets with marble slab counters, subway tile and subtle iron or wood elements.

If a more traditional style appeals to you, go for warm wood shaker cabinets and pair them with classic hardware and granite countertops. Want a high-style, modern kitchen? Try light gray or blue shaker cabinets, forego the hardware and add sleek white quartz countertops.

The clean, classic look of shaker cabinets transcends fads, so they work with any kitchen design. If you're deciding on a style, browse through our kitchen renovation gallery for design inspiration.
