The white shaker style kitchen has been seen in kitchens for years! So is this style ever going out? It seems like very Pinterest board, very magazine and every home improvement show has the white shaker style kitchen. So why is this style so popular?
The Shaker kitchen
Shaker style furniture is known for it’s simplicity and some may say ‘minimalist’ design. The shaker design refers to the door style – it is a 5 piece door, with a recessed center. The shaker style drawer could either be a flat panel (which we see in more modern style kitchens where detail is minimal) or you could see the 5 piece door in a drawer.
This is an incredibly popular style because of it’s versatility but also it is so transitional depending on your handle choices for instance, you can make the cabinet suit any style of decor.
The White kitchen
Still the most popular choice for homeowners – they are clean, fresh and classic. White works with all styles – you can easily add or incorporate elements of wood in flooring, counter tops or even some reclaimed wood accents. You can mix your hardware style and finish. Add glass cabinets and floating shelves, marble backsplash or subway…you can do so much with this colour of kitchen!
This is the best of both worlds – the simple design in white. It’s perfect! You can adopt this white shaker style kitchen to just about any style by adding the hardware and accents like back splash, lighting, faucets and more….

This white shaker style kitchen is perfection – the mix of the apron sink with the goose neck faucet, the herringbone marble tile backsplash and the oversized stainless steel pulls – makes this white kitchen anything but boring!
This white shaker style kitchen has a bit of a classic meets vintage quality. The mix of the pulls and knobs in the antique black finish gives some depth and contrast. The subway tile in the staggered formation with the dark grout looks vintage (like something you would find in a bistro). The open wood shelving add a decorative touch and keep the kitchen from looking traditional and the marble countertops add another classic element.
Keep it traditional and add an antique touch to the clean lines of a shaker cabinet by adding some crystal knobs and pulls – this adds a great ‘bring’ factor, too! The white subway tile, the white quartz counter and the glass cabinets keep it classy in this all white kitchen. The cabinetry style is the perfect back drop for all the more detailed elements!
Yes, brass is making a comeback – some of you are cringing….but it looks so fresh in the all white kitchen! We love the mix of knobs and pulls – it’s a designer look and it really ups the look of the entire kitchen. The brass adds great visual impact but also a warmth in this all white kitchen, as does the wood floor. A simple kitchen cabinet can really stand out with great details.

Because classics are never out of style. They may fade in popularity but they never fade away.
