For simplicity, functionality, and timeless design you can’t go wrong with a Shaker style kitchen. At Designs for Life Studios, we can show you how to boost that traditional look, with neutral colours like white, cream and grey, incorporating bolder hues for a more contemporary feel. Add modern materials into the design, finishes, and accessories, and we can create a Shaker-style kitchen that feels fresh and current.
The original simple and elegant shaker cabinet doors, featuring a flat panel with a raised frame were all made from wood which can be painted or stained to match the overall aesthetic of the kitchen. For those clients with a more restricted budget, we can offer the more cost effective doors made from materials such as lacquered MDF, which can be a good alternative. Both materials give you that visually appealing and practical look and are easy to clean and maintain.
We can show you how, by using darker colours such as navy blue, forest green, or even black, you can add depth and a more contemporary feel to your Shaker Kitchen. By adding a mix of materials alongside Shaker-style cabinets like a modern splashback made of glass or stainless steel, or countertop materials like concrete or quartz, we can achieve a contemporary feel rather than traditional. We suggest you also look at hardware with alternative finishes, like matte black, brushed nickel, or brass, which can give the kitchen a contemporary touch.
Consider your lighting too, as this can also be an important element in any kitchen design. Think about adding statement pendant lights over your island or dining table, or incorporating under-cabinet lighting to add warmth and depth to your kitchen.
In conclusion, Shaker kitchens can be easily updated to fit a contemporary aesthetic by playing with colour, mixing materials, updating hardware, incorporating lighting, and experimenting with accessories. While Shaker kitchens are known for their timeless style and classic design, they can also be adapted to fit with our modern lifestyle that demands functionality and practicality.
