The Shakers, who at the peak of their movement in the mid-19th century numbered between 4,000 and 5,000, believed that building well-crafted architecture and furniture was an act of prayer. They avoided ornamentation and strived to create functional, clean and simple work in the 19 major communities that spread from New England to Kentucky. Their designs have a traditional aesthetic and classic look that fits well in both historical and contemporary American homes. Here are five Shaker details to consider for your kitchen.
This kitchen also uses green cabinets and trim paired with white walls. It’s interesting to see how Shaker details can lean country or rustic, as in the previous kitchen, or Victorian, as in this one.

Regardless of which style you pair with Shaker details, they can bring a functional, simple and historical feel to your kitchen.MoreShaker Style Still a Cabinetry Classic5 Classic Shaker Designs for the Contemporary Home
