The 1 Kitchen Cabinet Style Top Interior Designers Swear By

"I'm a huge fan of simple shaker-style cabinets, as I think they are timeless and work equally well in modern and classic spaces. I recently used Semihandmade's shaker fronts and love the simplicity of them," said Shelby Girard, head of design at Havenly.

"Flush inset shaker cabinets are always a good idea. They look great painted, stained, and with every type of hardware," explained Shea McGee of Studio McGee.

"[The shaker-style cabinet] is equally as comfortable with wood butcher block counters as it is with Calacatta Borghini marble, shiny gold knobs, or oil-rubbed bronze bin pulls. It is really a classic cabinet with which you can rarely go wrong," said James Tabb of Laurel & Wolf.

Decorist Design Director Jessica McCarthy said, "I love a simple shaker-style cabinet paired with an unexpected saturated color and unique hardware. A couple examples would be painting your cabinets a lacquered navy with modern brass hardware or going for a deep matte green with black hardware. The juxtaposition of classic and trendy is unpredictable and eye-catching."
