Shaker Door – Traditional

A traditional Shaker kitchen door is defined by a few key characteristics:

The five-piece construction is the most fundamental element: a flat central panel held within a frame made of two vertical stiles and two horizontal rails. The panel sits in a groove and is intentionally left to "float". This can be framed with a beaded detail to add an extra layer to the door.

Proportions matter too. The rails and stiles are typically consistent in width, and wider than that of a modern shaker, giving the door a balanced, geometric look. The inner edge where the frame meets the panel is usually a very slight step down

These tend to have painted finish in traditional paint colours to add longevity to the kitchen and homeliness.
