Shaker Kitchens in Bristol: Warm, Timeless, Bespoke
Shaker design endures because it marries honest craftsmanship with quiet elegance. If you’re planning a high-end, handmade kitchen in Weston-super-Mare, Bristol & Somerset, a Shaker scheme gives you warmth, proportion and day-to-day practicality without ever feeling fussy. As senior kitchen designers and experienced installers, we shape every element—from timber selection to hinge choice—so your cabinetry sits perfectly, doors close cleanly and storage works first time. With Margetts Kitchens, you can expect calm, expert guidance, meticulous fitting and finishes that age gracefully.
Design Approach & Materials
Proportion, lines and balance
True Shaker is about restraint: framed doors, subtle rails, and crisp shadow lines. We balance stile widths with appliance towers and choose cornice/rail details that complement your home’s period or contemporary character.
Timber & finishes
We typically specify solid timber frames with moisture-stable panels. Paint systems are chosen for durability (hard-wearing eggshells or specialist lacquers). For high-traffic households, we’ll advise on wipe-clean sheens and edge robustness.
Worktops & surfaces
Quartz: consistent patterning, stain resistance, minimal maintenance.
Granite: natural depth and movement; seal and care guidance included.
Solid wood: warm tactility for islands and breakfast bars; oiling schedule provided.
Hardware & appliances integration
We combine soft-close, long-life hinges with classic cup pulls or knobs. Tall housings for ovens, integrated fridge/freezers and dishwasher fascias keep lines tidy. Extraction is ducted correctly for quiet, effective performance.
Lighting & sustainability
Layered lighting—task, ambient, accent—keeps a Shaker kitchen bright and welcoming. We prioritise LED efficiency, FSC timber where possible, and design for longevity and repairability.
