Do you know how Shaker kitchen cabinets look like? Here is a list you'd love to see.

Apparently, a kitchen will never be complete without cabinets as it is important for storing different items. But it doesn’t mean that just because it is merely for storing, it will look dull or boring. Your cabinets have to look lovely too! Especially in the kitchen. As you have noticed, the kitchen’s cabinet has a huge impact to the look of the entire kitchen. That is why it is important that you choose a design that will enhance its appeal.

There are different styles for a cabinet. But what really varies is the door of these cabinets. One famous style is the Shaker Cabinet. This style is simple and attractive featuring recessed panel doors, light finishes and basic hardware. Shaker cabinets mirror the style done by extremely skilled craftsmen and carpenters who are called the Shakers. Most of the cabinets like this are made of hardwood with veneer panel doors.
