Beautiful blue Shaker-style kitchens to put on your moodboard

Posted on 19th May 2021

Do you love the look of blue Shaker-style kitchens? Scroll through the ‘gram and you’re bound to come across a design in this much sought-after shade – I know I’ve double tapped rather a few.

The perfect blend of classic design style and on-trend colour, a blue shaker kitchen works just as well in a modern or period home. And the beauty of this look is, you can really amp up the vibe for a maximalist look (think accents of pink and bold patterned tiles) or keep things on the traditional side with marble, neutral pairings and brass taps.
