History behind the Shaker kitchen
The Shaker kitchen was first invented hundreds of years ago (around the 1700s) by a religious group- unsurprisingly called the Shakers. Long story short, they settled in New York (moved from Manchester in England) where they made and sold furniture in order to support themselves. They quickly became known for their simple and firm designs, which they called the Shaker kitchen style.

For a kitchen door to be considered an authentic Shaker style kitchen door, the design needs to be simplistic with clean lines. The minimalist approach is part of the reason why the Shaker style remains such a popular choice for homeowners.
