Shaker kitchen cabinets are the most requested cabinet style and for good reason. Defined by a five piece door with a recessed center panel, Shaker cabinetry balances simplicity, functionality, and timeless appeal. At Blue Ribbon Millwork, our Shaker cabinets are crafted to adapt seamlessly across design styles, from modern to transitional and classic.
What sets Shaker apart is its versatility. Clean lines provide structure, while optional details allow each kitchen to feel intentional and custom not mass produced.
The purest form of Shaker design features a five piece door with a recessed center panel and no added edge detailing. This clean, understated look is ideal for modern and minimalist kitchens, where simplicity and proportion take center stage.
For those who want classic structure with added character, select Shaker styles incorporate refined details such as decorative edging or breadboard within the stiles and rails. These transitional designs bridge traditional warmth and modern restraint, making them highly adaptable to a wide range of kitchens.
Our Craftsman and Craftsman II door styles introduce a European full access frameless construction to the traditional Shaker look. This approach delivers a clean, contemporary profile while maintaining the timeless Shaker aesthetic. These doors are available in a curated selection of textured finishes for a more architectural feel.
While white remains the most popular choice, Shaker cabinets are available in a wide range of painted and stained finishes:
Stained Shaker Cabinets highlight the natural wood grain, adding warmth and depth.
Painted Shaker Cabinets offer a smooth, consistent finish in refined tones such as gray, off white, navy, and more.
Each finish is selected to complement the structure of the door and the overall design of the kitchen.
Shaker cabinet styles vary not only by door design but also by drawer fronts:
Shaker / Colonial / Craftsman / Lombard: Feature clean, one piece slab drawer fronts for a more modern look.
Shaker II: Includes five piece Shaker style drawer fronts with recessed center panels, ideal for transitional designs.
These details play a major role in defining the final look of your kitchen.
