A quick background, the Shaker kitchen first originated back in the 1700s and was designed by the Quakers, founded in England, some of the group later relocated to New England, US and became known as Shakers. Their ethos was that everything should be functional, simple and practical.
This simple, practical style of course translated into their interiors, and it's the kitchen in particular that stuck, becoming on of the most well-known of all kitchen designs. It allows you to adapt and change your look into a contemporary or classic style by updating fixtures, fittings, and colors.
