Shakers were pioneers of form and function and renowned for their minimalist design.

Distinctive craftsmanship, simplicity, and innovative joinery are all features to a shaker inspired space. Shaker acts as a transitional design in today’s homes.

The industry has moved towards contemporary design, but not every house can absorb sleek cabinets and sharp angles. In light of homes personalities, many times we use shaker cabinetry to modernize a traditional house or vice versa.

​We can use shaker cabinetry to tone down an ultra-modern home yet still stay true to the integrity of a room.
