Modern Shaker Kitchens
The next generation of Hampton’s Design
Think of Modern Shaker Kitchens as an evolution of the traditional Hampton’s style. Modern Shaker style kitchens are characterised by their distinct use of shaker cabinetry, but in bolder and more eclectic ways. This contemporary shaker approach highlights refreshed interpretations of the traditional style, characterised by cleaner lines, minimal layering, and a distinct visual appeal.
The beauty of Modern Shaker style kitchens is that they can be applied to both contemporary and character style homes.

DESIGN FEATURE
Feature highlight: Embracing Contrast
Traditional Hampton’s kitchens are known for their all-white aesthetic. Modern Shaker kitchens serve as a swift departure away from this.
Modern Shaker style kitchens aren’t afraid to be bold when it comes to colour choice. It’s selecting a contrasting hue for your profiled cabinetry such as a pop of green, or opting for a distinctive two-tone colour scheme. You also have the freedom to stay neutral while exploring exciting contrasts—think black and white instead of an all-white palette.
Looking to infuse some colour into your Shaker-style kitchen? Modern Shaker style cabinets offer a choice of thermolaminated vinyl profiles or painted styles, providing you with the flexibility to personalise your kitchen’s colour palette according to your preferences.
