Discover the Timeless Elegance of Shaker Kitchens in Berkhamsted and surrounding areas
Shaker kitchens are an incredibly popular choice for homes, and easily fit within any interior style, whether modern or traditional. Defined by their classic, clean lines and lack of ornate detailing, this minimalist aesthetic, manufactured with high-quality materials and fine craftsmanship, creates a space that is both inviting and durable. At its core, a Shaker kitchen embodies a style that has long stood the test of time, renowned for its simplicity, functionality, and understated beauty.
The Shaker Philosophy in Kitchen Design
Originating from the Shaker community, the design philosophy of the Shakers emphasised simplicity, utility, and efficiency, which was reflected in every aspect of a kitchen from cabinetry to the choice of materials and colour palette. The most distinctive feature of Shaker kitchens is the cabinetry, with a flat, recessed centre panel, square edges, and minimal profiling. This unobtrusive styling makes Shaker kitchens highly versatile. It ensures they will complement rather than compete with the architectural features of any given space, and in turn will blend seamlessly into any home, whether it be a modern urban apartment or a traditional country house.
Truly Bespoke Shaker Kitchens in Berkhamsted and Hertfordshire
At Howard Kitchens, each of our Shaker kitchens can be individually tailored to suit you, your lifestyle, and your home. This includes Shaker kitchens in any size, colour and finish you want. You can choose a traditional natural wood Shaker, a painted shaker in any colour, a Shaker with subtle V-grooves, or a Shaker with or without internal beading. In fact, you can even choose how deep you would like your centre panel to be, or how wide you would like your frame stiles and rails.
Another key feature for you to consider is the grain pattern; No grain at all, a strong or subtle grain, or visible grain on the outer frame, with a smooth finish to the centre-panel. At Howard Kitchens we can truly give you any Shaker look you wish to achieve for your kitchen and home!
Giving You the Perfect Shaker Kitchen in Berkhamsted and surrounding areas
The magnificent irony of a Shaker kitchen – simplicity and lack of ornamentation – is that it places the highest of demands on the maker to get it right. And at Howard Kitchens we understand that the perfect Shaker kitchen has to be bespoke. It is the only way to achieve impeccable proportions and symmetry, reflecting both the size and layout of the kitchen and the way the cabinets fit and work together. To achieve the wonderful clean lines and spacious feeling intrinsic to the design, requires a careful mix of technology and a masterclass in cabinet making.
