Country-Style Design for a Homely Feel
The classic Shaker kitchen can be traced back to the 18th century when an unconventional religious group turned their hand to cabinetry. The ‘Shaking Quakers’ were known for many things, most notably, high-energy spiritual ceremonies, the promotion of peace, and a steadfast commitment to self-reliance. They made their own clothes, cultivated their own food, and crafted their own furniture, with a keen focus on enduring quality.
An icon of sustainable lifestyle choices, it wasn’t long before this versatile, country-style kitchen design gained mainstream popularity. Loved throughout the ages for its warm, rustic appeal, the craftsmanship refined by the Quakers can still be felt in every panel and groove.
Nowadays you’ll find luxury shaker kitchens upgrading every style of home, bringing integrity to period properties and character to contemporary ones.
A Bespoke Traditional Kitchen, Crafted to Last
The ageless appeal of the Artisan collection is matched only by its hard-wearing durability. Just like the Quakers, we forgo mass production in favour of sustainability, durability, and attention to detail. At Kenton Jones, you can be sure of a quality-over-quantity approach, and thoughtful designs that transcend fleeting trends.
Each cabinet is handcrafted by our artisans using traditional techniques and solid timber, combining quality workmanship with resilient materials. We work directly with heritage appliance manufacturers to ensure quality in every aspect of the finished kitchen.
With every detail customised to your requirements, this collection is sure to be the heart of your home for generations to come.

FAQ: AGA COOKERS
AGA R7 Series Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bespoke shaker kitchen cost?
Every Artisan kitchen is designed and made to suit the room, so cost depends on size, layout, materials, worktops, appliances and the level of joinery involved. We provide clear pricing once the design and specification are properly defined, so you can make decisions with confidence rather than estimates alone.
What is the difference between a shaker kitchen and an in-frame shaker kitchen?
A standard shaker kitchen typically uses doors that sit over the cabinet front. An in-frame shaker kitchen sets each door and drawer within a visible frame, which creates a more architectural, furniture-like finish. Tolerances are tighter, the detailing is more exact, and the result feels quieter, more refined and more permanent within the room.
What timber do you use for shaker kitchen cabinetry?
Artisan kitchens are made in-house using timber chosen for stability, longevity and finish quality. The exact specification depends on the design and whether the cabinetry is painted or timber-led, but the principle is always the same: materials are selected for how they will perform over time, not simply how they look on day one.
Will a shaker kitchen work in a modern home or only in a period property?
Yes. The simplicity of shaker cabinetry is what makes it so adaptable. In a period home, it can feel entirely native to the architecture. In a newer or more contemporary setting, it brings warmth, structure and restraint. The final character comes from the proportions, colour, hardware and worktops, not the door style alone.
How long does it take to design, make and install a bespoke shaker kitchen?
Timescales vary depending on the scope of the project, the level of detail, and any associated building work. The process typically includes design development, measured survey, technical sign-off, in-house manufacture and installation. Once the brief and specification are clear, we set out a realistic programme so the project proceeds in a controlled way.
Can I choose the paint colour for my shaker kitchen?
Yes. Artisan kitchens can be finished in a colour chosen to suit the house, the light and the wider material palette. We regularly work with timeless painted finishes, and we can guide you through what will feel balanced and enduring rather than trend-led.
Do you design and install the full kitchen, including worktops and appliances?
Yes. We design the kitchen as a complete scheme, coordinating cabinetry, appliances, worktops and the practical requirements around them. Where other trades or specialists are involved, we provide the technical information needed early so everything aligns properly and the finished kitchen feels resolved rather than assembled.
