Shaker Kitchen

Shaker-style cabinet doors are a popular line because they are so flexible. Shaker-Style enhance both traditional and/or modern designs depending on what you pair them with. Add lighting, tile and hardware ideas and you really can change the tone and overall style of a kitchen.

Shaker Kitchen

Traditional Nickel or Steel Knobs and Cup Pulls

Shaker cabinets offer simple, clean lines, and you often can see them paired with unadorned cabinet hardware. Whether your style is vintage or modern, you’ll find that a Shaker door is one of the most versatile doors styles available. A vintage-style kitchen with white Shaker cabinets is often seen finished with a combination of timeless cup or cup pulls and knobs.

For drawers 600mm and wider, two cup pulls are often used. Traditionally you’ll see knobs on doors and cup pulls on drawers.

What they do for the kitchen: Add retro flair.
What they work well with: Insetcabinetry with exposed hinges, stainless steel, white marble and honed black countertops, industrial-style lighting.

Vintage cup pulls are attached to the cabinet with screws from the rear. The face screws are faux and enhance the authentic appearance without compromising on strength and durability.

Tubular Bar Pulls

If you are considering a more modern feel from your traditional-style kitchen with Shaker cabinets look no further than nickel or stainless steel tubular bar pulls. This type of hardware is often seen on slab or flat-panel doors, but it works equally well on a Shaker-style door. Tubular bar pulls can be long and dramatic or short and classic.

Rail Handles, or tubular bar or barrel pulls come in a variety of sizes and finishes,  and the Castella Stainless steel handle makes a great choice if you’re looking to add modern flair to your Shaker-style kitchen cabinets.

What they do for the kitchen: Modernize it.
What they work well with: Long and skinny mosaic tiles, oversize and rectangular tiles, ebony or espresso stained Shaker cabinets, modern pendant lighting.

Flat Bar Pulls

If style and sophistication is your desired outcome, then consider accentuated length and polished nickel finish to add a little modern glamour. In the same way a font choice affects the look of a logo, the decorative hardware of a kitchen can transform the overall experience of the space.
