Why Choose a Shaker Kitchen for your Home in Hampshire?
A kitchen is often the most important room in a home. It’s not just a place to cook, but where some of our most precious memories are made.
If you’re planning a renovation this spring, you might be considering a number of different styles, from a sophisticated modern aesthetic to a country kitchen. One timeless choice that continues to be popular is the Shaker kitchen.
Here are 10 reasons to choose us as your go-to kitchen store in Basingstoke:

Renowned for its simplicity and practicality, a Shaker kitchen is a wonderful choice for all types of homes in Hampshire.
So, what is it that makes this classic style so appealing, and why should you choose a Shaker kitchen in 2025? Let’s explore the many benefits, and why Krystal Kitchens is a leading choice for this style of kitchen:
A Timeless Aesthetic
Hampshire is a county known for its charming countryside cottages and elegant period homes, along with contemporary properties. The beauty of a Shaker kitchen lies in its versatility—it complements both traditional and modern properties with ease.
The signature Shaker design, characterised by its clean lines, ‘clean’ panelled cabinetry and understated elegance, offers a timeless look. Unlike trendy interior design trends that quickly look outdated, it has a classic enduring appeal.
Perhaps you own a Georgian or Victorian property in the historic city of Winchester, or you have a coastal home in Lymington. Or maybe you have a country retreat in the New Forest. No matter where you are based, one of our Shaker kitchens can be tailored to reflect the character of your home.
Exceptional Craftsmanship and Durability
Krystal Kitchens appreciate that a kitchen is a long-term investment, and quality matters. Our Shaker kitchens are renowned for their sturdy construction and high-quality materials. All our artisanal kitchens are proudly British-made, using the most superior timbers available.
Practical and Functional Designs
One of the biggest advantages of a Shaker kitchen is its functionality. The original Shaker movement emphasised simplicity, efficiency, and practicality, values that still resonate today.
The frame-and-panel doors are easy to clean, while the generous storage space can help you enjoy a well organised and clutter-free kitchen. This makes this style of kitchen particularly ideal if you have a family or are a keen cook who wants a practical space.
Many of our clients in Hampshire like to choose smart storage solutions, such as:
- Deep drawers for pots and pans
- Pull-out larders for easy access to dry goods
- Integrated spice racks and plate racks
- Built-in bins for seamless waste separation
The adaptability of our Shaker kitchens means you can customise it with modern features while still enjoying a timeless design.
Complements Both Traditional and Modern Features
Another reason Shaker kitchens remain so popular is their adaptability to different design styles. Whether you prefer a classic country kitchen feel or a sophisticated, contemporary look, a Shaker kitchen provides the perfect foundation.
If you want a traditional look, you might want painted wooden cabinets in heritage shades such as sage green, deep navy, or soft grey. You’ll find plenty of examples of these among our projects.
For a modern take on the Shaker style, many people prefer matte cabinetry with on-trend hues like charcoal, olive or midnight blue. You might also want handleless doors or discreet brass handles for a contemporary edge
Whether you’re renovating a period home in Alresford or designing a stylish kitchen for a new build in Southampton, a Shaker kitchen can be tailored to suit your specific tastes.
Adds Value to Your Home
Considering selling your Hampshire property in the future? Investing in one of our beautiful kitchens can increase its appeal to potential buyers. Most people are often drawn to well-made, stylish kitchens that offer longevity and practicality—two key selling points of our designs.
Unlike ultra-modern kitchens that can feel impersonal or outdated quickly, a Shaker kitchen has broad appeal, making it an excellent choice if you want to maximise your home’s value.
Complements Countryside and Coastal Vibes
Hampshire is known for its stunning landscapes, from the rolling hills of the South Downs to the beautiful coastline along the Solent. Krystal Kitchens can create a room which effortlessly complements such natural beauty by bringing an element of warmth and charm into your home.
We can create a space that feels inviting and harmonious—perfect for rural homes and coastal retreats alike.
