FAQ's About Shaker Doors & Drawers
What is the Shaker style door profile all about?
A Shaker style door profile is a timeless and versatile cabinet door design characterised by its clean, simple lines. The classic Shaker door consists of:
- A flat centre panel – smooth and unadorned, contributing to a minimalist look.
- Square-edged frame – four surrounding rails and stiles, creating a recessed rectangular border.
- No ornate mouldings – unlike traditional profiles, Shaker doors are free from decorative bevels or raised panels.
This design originates from the Shaker furniture movement, known for functionality, craftsmanship, and understated beauty. Shaker-style doors suit a wide range of interiors, from traditional to contemporary, and are a popular choice in kitchens, laundries, wardrobes, and bathrooms due to their balance of simplicity and style.
Why choose a Shaker style profile for your cabinets?
Shaker doors are a smart choice for anyone seeking a balance of form and function. Their timeless design adds understated elegance to any space, from contemporary apartments to classic family homes. The clean lines and flat-panel construction make them easy to clean and maintain—ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens and laundries. Shaker doors are also highly versatile, working beautifully with a wide range of finishes, colours, and hardware styles. Whether you're after a minimalist, coastal, or Hamptons-inspired look, the Shaker profile offers flexibility, durability, and enduring appeal.
Why are Shaker doors more expensive?
Shaker doors often come at a higher price point due to the extra labour and materials involved in their construction. Unlike slab doors (we call it a 'Neat' profile), which are flat and simple to produce, shaker-style doors require precise joinery and additional finishing. At Ren Studio, each panel is made to order with premium materials, such as E0 moisture resistane Mediam-Density Fibreboard (MDF), ensuring exceptional quality and longevity.
What is the difference between a slab door and a Shaker door?
A slab door is a flat panel (we call it a 'Neat' profile) with no framing or profile, offering a sleek, ultra-modern look. In contrast, a shaker door has a framed appearance with a recessed centre panel, providing more texture and architectural detail. If you’re seeking a classic yet adaptable design, shaker style doors strike the perfect balance between minimalism and timeless appeal.
Are Shaker doors suitable for use beyond kitchens, such as wardrobes or other internal doors?
Yes, the features of Shaker doors make them a versatile solution for more than just kitchens. While they’re a popular choice for kitchen renovation projects, they also work beautifully as internal doors, wardrobe fronts, or custom cupboard doors in bathrooms, laundries, and living spaces.
