Shaker Kitchen Doors
A shaker door is a five-piece door — four frame pieces built around a flat centre panel. It has stayed popular for decades because it suits almost every kitchen, old or new, and it does not date the way a high-fashion finish can.

Shaker, across five ranges
Made to measure. Bella is the widest choice by far — eleven shaker door styles in one range: Buxton, Aysgarth, Cambridge, Oakham, Helmsley, Carrick, Richmond, Tullymore, Rowen, Warwick and the plain Shaker itself. Richmond and Shaker come in a choice of stile widths, so you can set how heavy or fine the frame reads.
Every style is shown in the same grey so the shape is easy to compare — the colour is chosen separately.
Waterford is our 5-piece slimline shaker — individual frame pieces joined around a foil-faced MDF centre panel. The slimmer frame gives a lighter, more contemporary read of a classic door. Wilton is the oakgrain shaker: a 5-piece door with 120mm frames in 22mm MDF and a 6mm centre panel, the wider and more traditional look, with a grain texture rather than a flat painted finish.
Solid timber. Thornbury and Hadley are 20mm five-piece solid ash frames with a veneered centre panel, each in six painted colours — Taupe Grey, Shore Blue, Sage Green, Dove Grey, Stone Dust Grey and Porcelain. Thornbury adds a beaded detail inside the frame.
Which frame width suits your kitchen?
It is mostly about proportion. Wide frames look right on larger doors and in bigger rooms, where a slim frame can look lost. On smaller doors and drawer fronts, a slimline frame keeps the centre panel visible instead of the frame swallowing it. If your kitchen has a lot of narrow units, Waterford is usually the safer choice; if it has large base units and you want a solid, traditional feel, Wilton carries it better.
If you want a shaker door in a specific colour rather than a stock finish, Bella is made to order across a wide palette.
Made to measure, made to fit
Every door and drawer front is made to the sizes you give us, and matching end panels, plinths, cornice and trims are available on selected ranges so the whole kitchen reads as one. Measure the doors you already have, order the same sizes in a new style, and the cabinets stay exactly where they are. Our measuring guide walks through it door by door. Still weighing it up? Shaker vs slab vs handleless sets the three side by side, including how much wiping each one asks of you.
