CLASSIC SHAKER KITCHEN IDEAS

Oct 26

We'd like to share some of the attributes we love about the humble 'British Kitchen' and what makes them so popular.

These kitchens are notable for their beautifully classic and intricate designs while being durable and reliable throughout the years.

So if you're thinking about updating your kitchen and want a shaker style that will stand the test of time, a British-inspired kitchen might be perfect for you.

Intricate Woodwork

One of the most distinguishing features of a British kitchen is its intricate woodwork. Cabinet doors often feature delicate carvings or patterns, while others may have simple yet elegant raised panelling. This level of detail adds a touch of luxury to any kitchen and helps to create a warm and inviting space.

Classic Elements

Another defining feature of a British kitchen is its classic design elements. For example, the shaker, in-frame design, beading detail on the doors, and visible hinges.

These features work together to create a classic look that is both sophisticated and timeless.

Timeless Trends

While the overall look of a British kitchen is traditional, that doesn't mean it can't incorporate some contemporary trends. In fact, many modern takes on the style use bold colours like striking blues and royal greens, along with metallic elements like gold or copper handles. These finishing touches create a sense of sophistication and a unique look that will definitely turn heads.

Excellent Craftsmanship

Finally, no discussion of British kitchens would be complete without mentioning their excellent craftsmanship. Every element is executed with precision and attention to detail, from hand-painted solid wood cabinets to custom stonework. This focus on quality ensures that your kitchen will look great and stand the test of time.

A traditional British kitchen might be a perfect choice if you're looking for a classic kitchen that looks gorgeous and built to last.
