History of Shaker Cabinets

Shaker furniture originates with — you guessed it — the religious Shakers in the United States. But how does that translate to furniture? Their beliefs centered around simplicity, functionality and minimalism. You can see all that shining through in their understated but beautiful designs, like for the Shaker style cabinets from Forevermark Cabinetry above. The original designs have stood the test of time, weathering hundreds of years of changing styles and aesthetics. What more can you ask for than kitchen cabinets that your grandchildren would be proud of?

Balancing the Simple and Complex

If you favor bold colors, consider pairing them with simple shaker cabinets to balance the look of your kitchen. The above space looks gorgeous with interesting medium blue walls and natural wood shaker cabinets. Imagine the same space with curlicues or ornamental cabinetry. You would have trouble focusing on any one aspect of the design, making the space feel cluttered and frantic. When too many of your aesthetic choices compete for attention, your eye skips from one to the next, unsure of how to take it all in. With the strong and simple lines of the shaker cabinets, no such problem exists. The blue shines through, instead.

Making Small Spaces Larger

Shaker cabinets are the perfect choice for smaller spaces, such as this narrow kitchen. You don’t even have to shy away from darker colors to open up the space with the style! These pepper-colored kitchen cabinets don’t bring the mood of the space down. The clean lines allow for big impact without sacrificing a calming aesthetic in the kitchen.
