Timeless Shaker Kitchens Built in Norfolk
When it comes to different kitchen designs and styles that offer simplicity, superior craftsmanship and timeless elegance, bespoke shaker kitchens are an excellent choice. It’s not the only choice we offer – and we can make a truly bespoke kitchen for you However Shaker-style kitchens are a popular choice due to their minimalist design with little to no ornamentation added during construction. When designing shaker kitchens, the focus is more on the practicality and functionality of the furniture, combined with clean symmetrical lines.
Discover how Wentwood Kitchens can transform your home with our examples of bespoke shaker kitchens below.
A History of Shaker Kitchens
During the 18th and early 19th centuries, a religious movement called the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing spread throughout England and America. Commonly known as the Shakers due to their public displays of religious dancing, they set out to create communities that were self-sufficient and promoted simplicity and practicality over anything they considered frivolous.
Over time they became known for their superior craftsmanship, designing simple yet hardy furniture, free from decorations but elegant in their stripped-back, symmetrical designs.
Although the Shaker communities have become much rarer, their unique furniture design persists to this day, especially in Shaker-style kitchens.
Why Have Shaker Kitchens Endured?
Bespoke shaker kitchens have remained popular to this day because they offer the following benefits:
- Timelessness – Because of their simple design, shaker kitchens are free of any of the fads that will date other kitchen designs. Trends may come and go, but the shaker style has and will endure for years to come.
- Durability – Shaker cabinets and other kitchen furniture have always been built to last, with a particular focus on craftsmanship and the avoidance of waste. As such they are a much more sustainable choice in the long term.
- Practicality – The Shakers intended their kitchens to be useful in every way and able to withstand a heavy amount of activity. As such you will find shaker kitchens make creative use of available space, particularly in terms of storage.
- Versatility – Shaker kitchens can be tailored to suit any size and style of home due to their simple design aesthetic. Whether you want a traditional and rustic look or a modern and open-plan design, shaker kitchens will accommodate your needs.
- Customisable – You can easily personalise shaker kitchen furniture to fit your bespoke tastes, from different materials and paint colours to a range of accessories and finishes including glass fronts and lighting options.
