Curious: if your kitchen has Shaker cabs, do all the other rooms?

11 months ago

Kitchen is shaker, does the hallway door that is open to the kitchen and living/dining also open to kitchen need to have the cabinets shaker?

Thank you

    I did a gut remodel and I have a relatively open floor plan.


    My kitchen cabinets are Prairie inspired rather than Shaker but the "principal" is the same.


    I have a lot of wood cabinetry - interior doors - bathroom vanities - room divider - office/den that has a large desk/wall unit running the length of the wall.


    Everything is the same wood species (Quarter Sawn Oak) and the same stain. However the doors of the cabinets and the "trim" are not identical but relate to each other aestehtically.

    My kitchen has Shaker style cabinetry. I attatched pictures of my entry door and bathroom vanities. How you coordinate your kitchen, doors, and bathrooms is purely a personal preference. There is no right or wrong. My home is not an “open concept”.

    I would match if one flows into the other.

    For separate spaces do what Kculbers did.

    It's great when doors complement the cabinets.



    What I hate is when they add Colonial or French Country doors with the Shaker.

    I don't at all think that those additional cabinets need to be shaker. In fact, it would be more interesting if they were not. But, they need to be a style that looks right with, compliments, or feel like they belong with the shaker cabinets.

    @ritabas


    These were my design inspiration but mine were custom by a local wood shop

    Relating means that the designs are not discordant aesthetically. I was not trying to replica an authentic period but it would have been visually dissonant if I had a white lacquer "spa" bathroom for example.

    My house is almost 100 years old. It's a Colonial Revival, and all the original doors are 6-panel Colonial style doors with raised panels. The original corner cabinet in the dining room has recessed panel doors. I think it's a non-problem to have raised panel doors and recessed panel doors in a home.

    You keep starting new threads. You might show what you are asking about and where?

    A single door? You're adding cabinets to an adjacent dining area?

    Houzz seems to have "fixed" something sgin so now we can't even go back to the other posts to see the issues . If it ain.t broke HOUZZ don't fix it As for this question I think a complimentary door style would be best not neccessay to be the exact same stile size as the cabinets though.

    Exactly!! If you click "activity/posts" for an op? You get NOTHING.

    For the love of god, leave the site alone, or call dilemmas Something else or Garden web something else and there was NO reason to mess with it anyway.

    Or call Houzz "Amazon Baby" and admit it is all you care about beyond selling Pros more add ons.

    IMHO, if you're going Shaker with the kitchen cabinets, then all the other millwork should be similar. Here's a kitchen that has a paneled wall adjacent:

    You can mix other types of paneling, e.g. a beadboard chair wainscot, but much depends on the level of formality you'd like to achieve. Beadboard would give you a more cottage-style/farmhouse look, while the paneling above is a little more elevated.

    Here's another kitchen with an adjacent living area that also has Shaker cabinetry:

    Homes are most often finished all matchy match with door profiles. It's fastest and easiest. Remodeling a kitchen with a different cupboard profile does not demand you redo all linen closet or vanity profiles. Most likely a bathroom vanity will be replaced and no longer matchy match the kitchen. I would think all doors ought match especially if they can be seen at the same time. Kitchen cabinetry and say builtins in a family room all in an open concept space would not be odd I don't think. Furniture is a different element and builtins are more like furniture in my opinion.

    kculbers thank you what a beautiful front door color so fresh

    HALLETT & Co.thank you ogee looks same as shaker to me

    helen thank you for the visual prairie looks like a variation of shaker?

    Kendrah what would flow (flat panel?- just straight down is nothing different just took out the shaker

    BeverlyFLADeziner thank you I agree on your points

    jan its not a kitchen question. I was wondering if the half open concept kitchen/salon/living needs to have same cabinets. So hallway closet door and bookshelf thing

    arcy_gw trying to get clarity so if I am having a build in closet in the hall and built in bookcases go shaker if its half open concept ( no pictures right now) half open meaning you can see living room/dining from kitchen half wall. They should all be like kitchen?

    A closet door.....what are all the doors in the rest?

    In a perfect world, closets near the kitchen and all others would be no more complicated than this two panel assuming your cabinets are this crisp?


    As to "built ins"?

    Doors and drawers as a match to cabinet style door and drawer in the kitchen is best depending HOW open. We aren't seeing your cabinets and there a a dozen versions interpretations of "shaker".

    I WOULD consider a different color in the dining room ?

    Pictures of what you are doing and the adjacent areas are helpful, when you get them

    coming back to this. So our kitchen is half open ( half wall no pics sorry jan) to the living dining rooms ( they are same space the living and dining) shaker kitchen and building a full wall built ins for library. Trying to decide if the closed lower part of the library cabinets need to be shaker like the kitchen or can just be flat or even a totally different design

    The best approach for you is to post some photos, so we can see what you already have and what you are proposing.
