The Shaker Kitchen feels timeless. The abundance of attractive hard wood or wood painted with a rich eggshell oozes craftsmanship. CIDA Shaker Kitchens seek to combine solid wood with painted wood and freestanding furniture with built in furniture.
A larder cupboard is a great way of storing food and adds a lovely feature to any kitchen.
An island adds a central feature to the kitchen and provides a good area for cooking or eating.
​
How about combining woods such as walnut and oak? Our native hardwoods are extremely attractive - Oak, Ash, Cherry, and Elm. The Shakers often chose Cherry and Pine - these are rich sumptuous colours.
​
Why not combine Shaker with Scandi?
​
Why not add a Butchers Trolley or End-Grain Chopping Board?
​
By carefully thinking about the design and then offering combinations of materials, colours, textures and cabinets the CIDA Kitchen is highly individual.
A Shaker Kitchen cabinet starts with a carcass that is usually made from Oak veneered MDF; this is solid and provides an attractive interior.
The cabinet is completed by attaching a face frame. This is a frame made from 40mm wide sections of wood - either solid hardwood or painted tulipwood. Inset doors, drawers, and integrated appliances fit within the face frame - therefore a cabinet is 80mm wider than the appliance, which needs to be considered when designing how things will fit in your kitchen.
​
The shelves and any externally visible wood surface, face frame and panels, will all be constructed from solid wood.
​
Shaker doors and drawers all have inset panels, usually without the addition of beads, but CIDA can offer a more Victorian style of kitchen with the beaded frames and doors.
