What does Shaker style refer to?

Shaker style dates back to the mid-18th century and focuses on simplicity, functionality and high quality. It originates from the ‘Shaking Quakers’ – a community who lived their lives following the principles of honesty, utility and simplicity.

The beliefs of this self-sufficient community were reflected in the food they ate, the homes they lived in and - importantly - in their furniture.

The Shakers fashioned furniture from the natural resources they found around them, with a focus on building long-lasting and functional solutions – rather than ostentatious ornamentation.

The modern Shaker style is recognisable for its purposeful lack of adornment, as well as its focus on functional storage, sleek design and good craftsmanship.

Are Shaker doors in style?

Shaker sliding doors remain timeless in style thanks to their sleek, modern twist on the traditional wardrobe design.

Perfect if you want timeless and classical furniture, rather than trend-led pieces that will likely go out of style after a few years. Free of loud colours or ostentatious design choices, the understated beauty and solid craftsmanship of Shaker furniture is sure to last well into the future.

What is a Shaker-style door?

A Shaker-style wardrobe door fuses traditional and modern design, creating a sleek and effortlessly stylish finish.

White Shaker wardrobe doors provide a fresh, stylish finish, while oak-toned and grey Shaker wardrobe doors cultivate a more grounded, relaxed aesthetic.

Can I add glass panelling to my Shaker door?

Yes, mirrored Shaker wardrobes are a popular choice thanks to their understated look and added functionality.

Mirrored glass inserts can help your room feel larger by bouncing light around the space. They can also enhance the overall aesthetic of your fitted bedroom for a true luxury feel.

Add tinted glass sections to pair with a modern colour palette or opt for semi-opaque glass for a fresh take on panelling.

How do I fit a Shaker-style sliding door wardrobe?

Our skilled and experienced fitters will fit your Shaker-style wardrobe for you. The majority of our fittings are completed within one day, with minimal disruption.

How long do Shaker doors last?

Timeless in their aesthetic and incredibly well-constructed, Shaker wardrobes will stand the test of time. All of our wardrobes carry a 10-year quality guarantee.

How can I incorporate Shaker design throughout the rest of my home?

If you want to incorporate Shaker style into your home, there are a few design choices you can make when decorating and furnishing.

Ladder-back chairs and peg rails are classic Shaker furnishings, adding modesty and honesty to your home design. Painting your walls with neutral colours, such as muted blues, pastel colours or off-whites, means the timeless simplicity of the Shaker style will extend beyond furniture and throughout your home.

Allow the understated craftsmanship of larger pieces of furniture to take centre stage by focusing on subtle design principles, soft-toned wooden items and minimal décor.
