Kitchen Cabinet Styles Explained: Shaker, Classic and Modern

Shaker, dark-and-gold or bright white? A simple guide to choosing a kitchen cabinet style and colour for your home.

Choosing kitchen cabinets is one of the biggest decisions in any home renovation. The style you choose sets the tone for the whole space. Here is a simple guide to the most popular looks.

Shaker cabinets

Shaker doors have a flat centre panel and a simple raised frame around the edge. They suit almost any home, from modern to traditional, and look great in deep colours like green or navy as well as classic white.

Dark cabinets with gold hardware

Black or espresso cabinets with gold handles create a bold, luxurious kitchen. They work best in kitchens with good natural light, and pair well with light marble-look counters to keep the space from feeling heavy.

White kitchens

White cabinets make a kitchen feel larger and brighter — a smart choice for smaller or narrow kitchens. Add warmth with wooden dining furniture or open shelves.

Layouts to consider

  • L-shaped: efficient for most homes and keeps the cooking triangle compact.
  • Island kitchens: add worktop space and seating in larger, open-plan kitchens.
  • Galley/parallel: two facing runs of cabinets, ideal for long, narrow kitchens.

Practical tips

  • Plan storage for large pots and pressure cookers in deep drawers.
  • Keep enough counter space on both sides of the hob.
  • Consider glass-front cabinets for display pieces and crockery.
