Choose your in-frame Shaker kitchen
In-frame cabinetry has a fixed face frame around each door and drawer front, giving the kitchen its distinctive furniture-like appearance. Our two Shaker ranges offer different frame details:
- Simple Shaker: a plain frame for a restrained look that suits traditional and contemporary homes.
- Signature Shaker: a cock-beaded frame with a fine raised detail for a more decorative finish.
Our specification includes oak-veneered MDF carcases, solid birch face frames and door rails, MDF centre panels and dovetailed solid-oak drawer boxes. Read our cabinet materials and construction guide for the full details.
Standard sizes and bespoke kitchen options
A practical design often combines standard cabinets with altered or made-to-measure pieces. This can help accommodate an unusual wall length, a specific island layout or other features of your room without making every cabinet bespoke.
Send us your measurements or plan for a free CAD design and cabinet quotation. We can help you compare cabinet choices and identify where a bespoke alteration is useful.
How much does a kitchen cost?
The cabinetry price depends on the number and type of units, the specification and whether you choose flat-packed or assembled supply. Tall cabinets, drawer units and bespoke alterations can all affect the total.
Explore three kitchen examples with cabinetry prices and estimated project costs, or browse individual cabinet prices. These examples help you allow for delivery, painting, worktops, appliances and fitting alongside the cabinetry.
Flat packed or fully assembled?
Both supply options use the same principal cabinet components. Flat pack reduces workshop assembly costs; fully assembled cabinetry reduces the assembly work required on site. Discuss the choice with your fitter and our team when planning your order.
Read our flat-pack kitchen guide and painting advice before deciding.
