Shaker kitchens in Market Harborough
The framed door that feels at home almost anywhere, from a village cottage to a new build. We design your shaker kitchen around how you live, and where a standard size or colour won't do, we make it in our own workshop.
What makes a kitchen shaker
A shaker door is a flat centre panel held in a plain square frame, with no mouldings. The style takes its name from the Shaker communities of 18th and 19th century America, who made furniture to be useful and to last. That plainness is why it has never dated.
- Suits a terrace, a cottage or a new build
- The frame hides fingerprints better than flat gloss
- Classic or modern, depending on colour and handles
Colours and finishes
Shaker is usually painted, so colour is the big decision. Creams keep a small room light, sage brings the garden in, and inky blue or charcoal looks smart on an island. If your shade isn't in the range, we make and paint the doors in our own workshop.
Details to choose from
Handles, worktops and what sits above the base units do more to set the look than people expect. These are the choices worth thinking about first.
Handles
Cup handles lean traditional and slim bars feel modern, in brass, nickel or black.
Worktops
Timber warms the room and quartz keeps it crisp. Handle the samples in our showroom.
Glazed units and open shelving
Glass-fronted wall units or open shelves lighten a long run of cupboards.
Shaker kitchens we've designed

Read enough of our reviews and the same words keep coming up: listened, no pressure, no hidden extras.
“We were listened to at all stages, there were no hidden or unexpected extras to pay.”
“Any issues that cropped up during the build were resolved quickly.”
“Everything is made locally, bespoke to your requirements.”
Shaker kitchen questions
Is a shaker kitchen old-fashioned?
Not at all. The door is so plain that the look depends on what you pair it with. Slim handles, a quartz worktop and a dark colour make it feel contemporary, while cup handles and timber take it back towards a country kitchen.
Which worktop goes best with shaker?
Timber, quartz and stone all work. Timber feels warmer and suits a country look, while quartz is easier to live with day to day. Come and handle the samples in our Market Harborough showroom before you decide.
Will a shaker kitchen suit a new-build house?
Very well. It adds a bit of character to a plain room without fighting the modern proportions, especially in a soft colour with simple bar handles. We'll show you how it looks in your room in 3D before anything is ordered.
