What is a Shaker Style Cabinets

Shaker style cabinets are those created in the spirit of the Shakers, a Christian sect most prominent in the 19th century who became known for their exceptional skills in all things crafts and carpentry. Cabinets made in this style are defined by their commitment to functionality, subtle design, and understated colors. They're made only of the highest quality wood and possess a natural, timeless beauty that has kept them stylish for hundreds of years (and will likely continue to do so for many years more). Put simply, a Shaker style cabinet is one that celebrates perfection in simplicity. That simplicity, however, does not mean that Shaker style cabinets are without distinguishing features. On the contrary - cabinetry of this style is defined in part by the precise execution of recessed door panels that can add a great deal of depth and volume to any kitchen's decor. Likewise, the restraint exercised by the pulls, handles and knobs allows them to complement the beauty of their cabinets without attracting unwanted attention.
