Styling Tips to Add Warmth and Character

While white shaker cabinets offer a clean look, you can easily add warmth and personality to your space.
- Wood Accents:
Add butcher block countertops or warm wood flooring to introduce natural texture and a cozy feel.
- Strategic Lighting:
Blend natural light with accent lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere.

Mix different hardware finishes. Matte black bar pulls create a striking contrast, while brushed brass or gold knobs add elegance and warmth.
Hardware: The Perfect Complement for White Shaker Cabinet Doors

Choosing the right hardware for your white shaker cabinet doors is like picking the perfect jewelry for an outfit; it enhances the entire look. Modern Cabinets & Co. understands this balance, offering options that improve both function and style.
“When it comes to cabinet pulls, bar pulls are by far the most popular (72%), followed by knobs (34%) and cup pulls (10%), according to a Houzz study, giving you confidence in these stylish choices.”
Proportion and Tone
The clean lines of Shaker cabinetry thrive on subtle balance!
“For standard doors, pulls between 5 and 8 inches provide a pleasing visual rhythm, according to the Inspire Hardware study.”
For shaker cabinet doors on taller pantry units, longer pulls add drama and function. Matte black hardware provides a strong contrast, while antique brass brings warmth.
Functional Elegance
Handles aren’t just for looks; they should be practical. Look for designs that feel balanced in your hand, with smooth, rounded edges for easy access. Finishes that resist fingerprints keep your shaker cabinet doors looking fresh, even in busy areas.
