SHOULD YOU CHOOSE SHAKER OR SLIM SHAKER CABINETS? 🤍 based on a real conversation with my client so I’m sharing with you too! Bookmark for later!
One of the questions I get asked most often lately 👇
What’s the difference between traditional shaker and slim shaker cabinets?
At first glance they look similar… but the overall feel of the kitchen can change quite a bit depending on which style you choose.
✨ Traditional Shaker
• Wider cabinet frame
• More timeless + classic feel
• Adds visual weight and texture
• Great for transitional, farmhouse, and warm traditional homes
✨ Slim Shaker
• Narrower, thinner frame
• Cleaner + more modern look
• Feels lighter and more minimal
• Perfect for modern organic and mountain modern spaces
In soft cream tones especially, slim shaker tends to feel a little more elevated and architectural, while traditional shaker feels warmer and more established.
Neither is “better” it really depends on the style and feeling you want your home to have 🤍
Which would you choose: classic shaker or slim shaker?
