Painted Shaker Kitchens

Not sure which style is right for you? Browse all six of our kitchen ranges below — click any image to see the full range and individual product options.

A painted Shaker kitchen combines a framed door with a recessed centre panel and a painted finish. The frame proportions, surface texture and detailing can make the look classic, quietly decorative or more contemporary. Choosing well means looking beyond the colour to the door construction, cabinet specification and how the layout works in your room.

I’m Steve, Stephen Ball. At SJB, you work directly with me through design and ordering. I help you compare the options, plan the cabinetry and bring the doors, worktops, handles and appliances together. I supply kitchens nationally, with an Oldham showroom for customers who would like to discuss their project in person.

Find your painted Shaker style

For my selected timber-framed collection, start with the five PWS painted-timber kitchen styles. That page helps you compare the details rather than treating every painted door as the same product.

• Mornington Shaker offers a classic framed-door look.
• Mornington Beaded adds beaded detailing for a more decorative interpretation.
• Mornington Vale creates an in-frame look using lay-on doors. It is not true in-frame construction.
• Crathorne gives the Shaker style narrower proportions.
• Aalborg is a micro-Shaker option for a finer-framed, contemporary direction.

If you are still comparing finishes or price points, browse the broader painted-door catalogue. For a finer-frame look, the micro-Shaker kitchen guide explains where that style fits.

“Painted” describes the finish, not the whole door’s material. A painted Shaker door may be timber-framed or made using an engineered-board construction. Check the actual range specification rather than assuming every painted door is solid wood throughout.

The selected PWS timber-framed collection uses ash frames with veneered MDF centre panels. That is different from an all-solid-timber door. Grain, frame width and decorative detailing also vary between the ranges, so samples and close-up images are useful when comparing them.

The cabinet carcasses I use are MFC—melamine-faced chipboard—not solid timber. I also use fillers where the design needs them, for clearances and a practical fit around the room. Door material, carcass material and the finished kitchen layout are separate parts of the specification.

A foil-covered door uses a different finish from a painted door. Compare the exact product, appearance, care guidance and supplier specification; a finish name alone does not establish quality or how long a kitchen will last. The kitchen materials guide explains the components in more detail.

There is no useful single price for every painted Shaker kitchen. The cabinet quantity and layout, door range and colour, worktops, appliances, handles, internal storage and delivery requirements all affect the quote.

I will help you identify what you need and compare an itemised specification. Check whether the figures include cabinetry, worktops, appliances, delivery and VAT, and make sure installation responsibilities are clear. A cabinet-only price is not directly comparable with a complete supply-and-fit quotation.

If you already have a design and quote from Howdens, Wren or Magnet, upload them through the SJB kitchen design tool. I can review the layout and scope, then discuss an SJB option without assuming it is identical or promising a fixed percentage saving.

If you are considering a premium national brand, the Harvey Jones alternative guide and Tom Howley alternative guide explain how to compare the look and specification with SJB’s independent offer. They help you compare the specification and purchasing approach, not just the appearance.

Are painted Shaker kitchens solid wood?

Not necessarily. Painted is the finish. The selected timber-framed PWS collection uses ash frames with veneered MDF centre panels, while the broader catalogue includes other constructions. SJB’s cabinet carcasses are MFC. Check the specification for your chosen range.

What is the difference between Shaker, beaded and micro-Shaker?

They use different frame proportions and decorative details. A classic Shaker has a more traditional framed appearance; beaded detailing adds decoration; a micro-Shaker uses a finer frame for a more contemporary effect. Compare range samples and photographs rather than the name alone.

Is Mornington Vale a true in-frame kitchen?

No. Mornington Vale has in-frame-look detailing on a lay-on door. The selected collection is not a true in-frame offer.

Can I choose any painted colour or custom size?

Colour availability, door sizes, made-to-order options and any extra charges depend on the range. I will confirm the choices and current specification before you order; there is no blanket promise of any colour or free custom door sizes.

Do you supply painted Shaker kitchens nationally?

Yes, SJB offers national kitchen supply. Tell me your delivery postcode so I can confirm arrangements. The SJB showroom is in Oldham, and installation arrangements should be confirmed separately.

Can I start without a floor plan?

Yes. The online design tool lets you upload a plan or sketch, draw your room, or start without one. Add your preferred style and project details, then arrange the next conversation with me.

Every SJB kitchen starts with a detailed CAD design so you can see exactly how your finished kitchen will look before a single unit is ordered. Here is what that looks like in practice.

“Steve is absolutely epic! Really nice guy. 100% genuine and to be trusted. Really easy to work with. Could not do enough and always on hand.

The kitchen was amazing quality and the kitchen looked exactly like the images he produced on his computer. The units came ready built which saved a lot of time! Even if you are not a joiner it was really easy to assemble and fit.

The kitchen is great quality and a VERY competitive price! 100% recommended! Thank you so much!”

Fantastic experience with Steve from start to finish. He designed an amazing kitchen in a small space and truly went above and beyond what I expected. He took the time to listen carefully to my ideas and requirements, and was never pushy throughout the process. His knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail really stood out at every stage. Everything was planned and executed with care, and he made sure even the smallest details were perfect. The end result is a beautifully designed, highly functional kitchen that I’m absolutely thrilled with. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After visiting a few "big brand" kitchen places & being absolutely gob smacked at the prices, the pushy salesmen & the amazing "discounts" they claimed were on for "1 week only".... I went searching for a small local business. I found SJB on eBay initially & then popped along to his Instagram account to have a nosey at his products etc. I dropped him a message & got a reply pretty much straight away. I sent our measurements, needs & ideas & Steve got to work & brought our design to life! He worked fast & was extremely helpful. He made changes if we wanted them, he went hunting for a particular handle I wanted (a lot cheaper too as 1 company wanted £12 a handle, Steve found them for just £4) We visited his show room to make sure because we weren't being charged the earth, we weren't getting a cheap / flimsy product. Well we absolutely weren't! We had a slight issue with one of the cabinets being damaged upon arrival, spoke to Steve, who immediately ordered a replacement to be sent. Steve was contactable throughout, nothing was too much trouble, & he's just a genuine nice guy, who runs a fantastic small business. 100% recommend using SJB Trade Kitchens especially over the giant money grabbing companies!

Steve designed and provided all the quality parts necessary for my fitter to make up this beautiful kitchen. All arrived promptly and any queries were responded to immediately and efficiently. Steve is highly professional and easy to get along with which makes a huge difference in our busy world! I would definitely recommend Steve and will use him on my next build. Thank you !

I cannot stress how happy I am with my kitchen from SJB. We didn’t had a great experience with our builder during the renovation of our house however the final kitchen made up for it. SJB offered high quality finishes at quick turnarounds and even made a custom made island which is better than I ever expected. I will be returning soon to SJB for my bedroom wardrobes!

I came across SJB on Ebay, and contacted Steve. He was very helpful in inviting us to his kitchen showroom to look at the various kitchens. This helped  a lot as he was on site to talk us through ideas and suggestions. We chose, what we thought, a relatively priced kitchen as it was for a rental property, but the finished result has been just amazing! It looks so expensive, even the fitter said it was very good quality for a fraction of what other places charge. Steve kindly designed the kitchen, gave us good ideas and was always available on the phone if we ever needed advice. I have never purchased a kitchen without the company providing a fitter as I have always doubted if the kitchen would fit how it should, but this has completely changed my perception. It has been flawless and friends and family have compared it to their much more expensive ones, saying this looks amazing and better than theirs! If you need a kitchen, with a gentleman that goes over and above, SJB is the place to go. You will not be disappointed, the whole process has been stress free thanks to Steve, I honestly cannot thank him enough for all his efforts and kindness.
We hope to come back very soon!

I've worked in the building trade for over 20 years, the kitchen supplied by Steven was a better quality then a Howdens or magnet kitchen and also a good bit cheaper.

Steven's easy to deal with, everything arrived as quoted no problems no damaged items and on the exact day specified.

Would highly recommend.

I first came across Steve on Ebay last year when I moved into my bungalow and kept hold of his details.
Fast forward a year, I checked Google reviews and finally contacted him sending measurements/photos and went to meet him when on holiday nearby.
Steve was so helpful and came up with the exact kitchen plan I had in my head, two other companies couldn't do this, despite visiting my home and meeting with them.
Took me a while to find a joiner and after lots of emails, Whatsapp messages and calls, I could actually place the order.
All delivered to North East Scotland, a few doors followed on as were out of stock, a couple of damaged items replaced and when I needed a corner post and dishwasher door replacement due to longer screws being used in error, Steve was only too happy to send them.
It's a very good quality kitchen at a great price and I'm not planning on needing another, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate on contacting SJB again.
We got there in the end Steve, with hard work from my plasterer, joiner, plumber, electrician and flooring guys and I love my new kitchen, so thank you, hard to believe it's the same room ❤️
