Styles come and go in kitchen design, but there are some that will always be desirable.
As well as creating modern and traditional kitchens, we sometimes blend the two to get versatile and timeless designs.
One such style is the Shaker Kitchen, with its clean lines and classical, balanced proportions.
Based on the designs of the 19th century furniture makers of the Shaker movement, the Shaker Kitchen has remained a very popular range across the country.
Shakers never wanted their particular breed of kitchen to be fashionable, but their pursuit of perfection led to a famously versatile design.
Shakers believed that every object should be practical and there was no need for unnecessary decoration.
‘Beauty rests on utility’ said the Shakers – and they were obviously on to something.
Shaker designs are famous for simplicity and a timeless style and wouldn’t look out of place in either a modern or traditional home – hence their brilliance.
Creating the look
– Keep it simple, open plan and uncluttered
– Use natural materials. Walls should be kept neutral for classic Shaker-style. Bare white plaster is often the way to go
– Keep it neat with no clutter
– At least some natural wooden worktops and a neutral floor, bringing a neutral simplicity
At Kitchen Design Centre, we are experts at creating Shaker kitchens. Take a look at one of our latest designs.

AS SEEN ON GEORGE CLARKE’S BEAUTIFUL BUILDS: FROM DATED LAYOUT TO DREAM ENTERTAINING SPACE
When Katherine and Andrew purchased their property, they always knew a full renovation would follow.
With both the outdated kitchen and untouched garden requiring significant transformation, the project soon became part of Channel 4’s George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds – it was an opportunity they felt perfectly aligned with their vision for the property.
While searching for a local kitchen specialist, Kitchen Design Centre immediately stood out thanks to its long-standing reputation, glowing customer reviews and welcoming showroom experience.
The brief focused on creating a sleek, contemporary kitchen that would feel open, social and highly functional, while complementing the wider architectural renovation of the home.
The finished design delivers a beautifully balanced space that combines clean lines with luxurious detailing.
One of the standout features is the striking worktop design. The waterfall edge peninsula creates a bold focal point within the room, while the continuation of the material across the side panels introduces a seamless, premium aesthetic.
Functionality was equally important throughout the design process, with carefully considered storage solutions and high-quality appliances helping to simplify everyday living. Among Katherine and Andrew’s favourite additions is the Neff oven, praised for both its versatility and pyrolytic self-cleaning function.
The completed result is a sophisticated contemporary space that completely transforms how the home looks, feels, and functions, perfectly reflecting Katherine and Andrew’s original vision from the moment they moved in.
