The shaker design movement was created the Shakers, a religious sect that emerged in 18th-century England before spreading to America. The shakers were known for their commitment to simplicity, utility, and craftsmanship. The Shakers created furniture and interiors that reflected these core values. Shaker style kitchens embody these principles with their clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and meticulous attention to detail.

The classic Shaker style kitchen is characterised by its framed panel doors, flat central panels, and subtle, functional hardware. This enduring design has transcended centuries. While the Shaker design has evolved to suit modern design trends and aesthetics, it remains a timeless classic and its popularity is increasing.
