The Ultimate Shaker Kitchen Colour Guide
Selecting the perfect colour is essential in achieving a truly bespoke look. Our expert designers work with you to choose a palette that enhances your space:
Light Grey Shaker Kitchens
Create a neutral, sophisticated backdrop ideal for both modern and classic interiors. Light grey tones offer an airy feel, perfect for kitchens with limited natural light.
Dark Grey & Blue Shaker Kitchens
Embrace elegance and depth with rich, dramatic shades. Dark grey and deep navy blue options serve as striking focal points, especially in open-plan spaces.
Dark Green Shaker Kitchens
For a natural, earthy appeal, dark green hues bring warmth and character. These shades harmonize beautifully with natural stone worktops and antique brass accents.
White & Cream Shaker Kitchens
Opt for timeless brightness with white shaker kitchens, or enjoy a warmer, softer alternative with cream finishes. Both provide versatile bases that suit any design style.
Two-Tone Shaker Kitchens
Mix and match for a contemporary twist. Popular combinations, such as a light upper unit paired with a darker base, create visual intrigue while preserving the classic shaker silhouette.
