Did you know that RTA Cabinet Store offers fifteen different varieties of Shaker-styled cabinets? Fifteen! Why is that? Why do we carry such a broad variety of color and style variations, some of them remarkably subtle? Well, partly it\u2019s because Shaker cabinets are extremely popular. But that just begs the next question: Why is a 250-year-old style based on rustic simplicity still so popular today? Well it\u2019s because they\u2019re actually very versatile, able to fit in with a wide variety of styles and themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most obvious style is a kitchen with a rustic, sort of farmhouse feel. Shaker cabinets in natural or lightly-stained wood tones feel much like the original design intent. Their straight lines and right-angle features don\u2019t feel frivolous or overwrought. They look and feel sturdy and functional. To complete this kind of look, pair our Natural<\/a>, Birmingham<\/a>, or Traditional White Shaker<\/a> cabinets with simple but solid oiled bronze hardware, like our Chesapeake<\/a> or Bella<\/a> lines. Or, add even more rustic flair with the weathered and forged look of Belcastle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shaker cabinets can also give a reserved, yet not quite formal feel. This is especially true in cool neutral colors. For a softly austere look, check out Stone Gray Shaker<\/a> cabinets. West Point Gray<\/a> offers a bit more attitude, while still holding it in check. Or, for the ultimate in clean, composed lines, Shaker Hill<\/a> offsets shaker doors with simple slab drawer fronts for assertively clean lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pair them with hardware with equally clean lines for the best results, such as Key Grande<\/a>, Key Largo<\/a>, or Key West<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps the most popular usage for the clean, simple lines and shapes of Shaker cabinets is for sleek, ultra-modern kitchens. Contemporary shaker designs like our ultra-bright Frosted White Shaker<\/a>, or the softer matte finish of Arlington White<\/a> pair well with polished hardware with clean lines, or with sharply contrasting color in the hardware. Check out Sedona hardware for a post-modern feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or change it up with a dark color like our Cognac Shaker<\/a> line, or if you\u2019re bold enough, even our Espresso<\/a> cabinets. Paired with a retro-modern look for hardware, like the enigmatic Breighton<\/a> in Brushed Satin Brass, and some intense but focused and directional lighting, you can create a very dramatic look that\u2019s sure to impress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more ideas on how to use the simplicity of Shaker cabinets to create the exact feel you want in your<\/em> new kitchen, schedule your complimentary professional kitchen design consultation today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shaker was developed in the 1700\u2019s, yet it finds use in a remarkable variety of kitchen styles today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5568,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[2273],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2421"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6131,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421\/revisions\/6131"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Austere and Reserved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
