Leading Kitchen Designer In Vaughan

Kitchen cabinets can make or break the aesthetics of your kitchen space, so choosing the right cabinet style is important. Shaker-style cabinets are one of the more popular cabinet designs due to their simplistic and versatile look. This timeless aesthetic now has a new variation: the micro shaker cabinets. In this blog, Nima Kitchen & Bath, a well-known designer of contemporary kitchens and baths in Toronto, shares the basics of micro shaker cabinets and some styling tips to implement them.

 

Micro Shaker Cabinets and the Modern Kitchen

 

What Are Micro Shaker Cabinets?

Shaker-style cabinets feature thick, square frames and a recessed center frame panel. Micro shaker cabinets, while having a similar design, have an overall slimmer frame. The idea is to create a refined and understated look while embodying the simple aesthetic of shaker-style cabinets. This update on the shaker-style cabinets is a perfect fit for your modern kitchen.

 

How to Style Micro Shaker Cabinets for Your Kitchen?

 

Pair With White Countertops for a Timeless Appeal

 

Trendy or not, micro shaker cabinets have a timeless appeal. Capitalize on this by pairing them with white countertops to create a cohesive, visually appealing look. Paint them in lighter tones for a subtle contrast and pair them with wooden accents to tie the space together.

 

Pair Them with Textures for a Breezy Vibe

 

Turn your compact kitchen into a breezy and playful space with micro shaker cabinets. Install naturally stained wooden cabinets for the base and contrast them with white cabinets for a striking look. Add textures with a tiled kitchen backsplash and a white countertop to tie it all together.

 

Go for Dark Hued Cabinetry for a Refined Look

 

If you prefer darker, bolder colours, micro shaker cabinets are right up your alley. A royal blue base cabinet goes perfectly with black countertops for a more subdued yet elegant finish. Use light hues on the wall cabinets to add some visual contrast.
