Shaker Maker - Harvey Jones' Shaker Kitchens
Harvey Jones' famous Shaker kitchen range has been their most popular collection for the past 30 years. With clean lines and classical, balanced proportions, this versatile design seamlessly integrates into any home, whether you live in a country cottage or a city penthouse.
What is a Shaker kitchen?
The Shaker kitchen gets its name from a religious sect in the mid-18th century called the 'Shaking Quakers' (quickly shortened to 'Shakers'). Today, this famous style reflects the core principles this community believed in - simplicity and functionality.
Every piece was created using the best wood and crafted without ornamentation, which the Shakers considered to be prideful. Designed with functionality as its most important consideration, the Shaker kitchen is minimalist and versatile, with an honest ethos of thoughtful, meticulous craftsmanship.
You can immediately spot a Shaker-style kitchen by looking at its doors, cabinets and drawers, which will have a flat centre panel and a raised rectangular frame.
QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP
Shaker kitchens feature a classic in-frame structure, testimony to Harvey Jones' time-honoured craftsmanship and luxurious nature. Every one of their handmade kitchens is built from durable, long-lasting wood in our Cambridgeshire workshop using traditional joinery methods.
BESPOKE PERSONALISATION
Your kitchen can be tailored specifically to meet your needs according to your choice of colour, materials and other features to create bespoke kitchens of outstanding quality. This personalisation means your Shaker kitchen truly will be one of a kind.
HAND PAINTED IN ANY COLOUR
Whether you prefer refined neutrals or vibrant hues, all of the cabinetry is hand painted in situ. Your Shaker kitchen can be painted in whatever colour you like for a stunning showroom-standard finish every time. Green, blue and grey Shaker kitchens are particularly popular with our customers - feel free to combine shades in complementary tones. Alternatively, you could opt for dramatic contrast, which works particularly well if you wanted a different colour on the island.
To update your kitchen in the future, your colour scheme can be changed immediately with the stroke of a brush. This allows you to make a big change to the look and feel of the kitchen without the hassle of replacing any cabinetry. It also means you can be bold with colour as there's always the option to repaint in years to come.
EXTENSIVE SELECTION OF HANDLES
Harvey Jones offers a wide choice of handles in a range of styles and finishes. Wooden ones were the most common in traditional Shaker cabinetry, but metal handles feature in many of the modern kitchens we see today - though they will also be humble and unassuming in line with Shaker principles.
10-YEAR CABINETRY GUARANTEE
Harvey Jones even gives you a cabinetry guarantee, where they repair or replace any damages for 10 years from the date of purchase. This covers doors, cupboards, shelves and drawers, as well as hinging and drawer runners.
