Shaker kitchen for
IKEA Metod
A shaker kitchen is not only about the style of the cabinet door, but also about how the kitchen is built. What creates the classic look are the spacer strips between the cabinet frames, which create clear gaps between doors, drawer fronts and cabinets. The result is calmer lines, better proportions and a kitchen that feels more built-in.
When an IKEA Metod kitchen is built with spacer strips the overall look changes significantly. The shadows between the fronts become more defined, the rhythm between the cabinets more balanced and the kitchen takes on a more architectural expression.
The beauty of this approach is that it works just as well with framed shaker doors as with smooth slab fronts. You can create a classic shaker kitchen with framed doors, or a more modern look with flat fronts – where the spacer strips still give the kitchen the same thoughtful and built-in character.

When planning a shaker kitchen for IKEA Metod many people begin by designing their kitchen in IKEA’s planning tool. Once the drawing is complete you can simply send it to us together with a few notes about colours, materials or design preferences.
Based on your IKEA drawing we create a proposal that includes the correct kitchen doors, drawer fronts, spacer strips and details needed to build a shaker kitchen with the right proportions. You receive a clear quote where all parts are collected and adapted to your specific layout.
If you prefer planning everything yourself that works too. On our website you can buy kitchen doors, cover panels, filler pieces and other parts directly and build your shaker kitchen step by step.
Whichever method you choose the goal is the same – combining the smart foundation of IKEA Metod with a kitchen that feels more considered, more built-in and more personal.
Frequently asked questions about shaker kitchens with spacer strips
What is a shaker kitchen?
A shaker kitchen is not only about the cabinet door style but also about how the kitchen is built. Spacer strips are placed between the cabinet frames, creating visible gaps between doors and drawers. This gives the kitchen a more built-in feel and a calm architectural look.
Can I build a shaker kitchen using IKEA Metod?
Yes. Many shaker kitchens are built using IKEA Metod as the base. By adding spacer strips and choosing made-to-measure kitchen doors, a standard IKEA kitchen can achieve a more built-in and architectural appearance.
Do I need framed cabinet doors in a shaker kitchen?
Not necessarily. Shaker kitchens are often associated with framed doors, but the overall look mainly comes from the spacer strips between the cabinets. Because of this, shaker kitchens can work just as well with flat fronts.
What do spacer strips do in a shaker kitchen?
Spacer strips are placed between cabinet frames to create a gap between the fronts. This prevents doors from sitting directly next to each other and creates clearer lines, deeper shadows and a more built-in appearance.
How do I order a shaker kitchen from you?
When submitting a request through our quote form you can choose whether you want the kitchen built as a shaker kitchen. We then plan the layout with spacer strips, cabinet doors and details suited to your design.
Can I combine different materials in a shaker kitchen?
Yes. Many people combine painted doors with oak veneer to add depth and variation. For example, wall cabinets can be painted while base cabinets or the kitchen island are finished in wood veneer.
Do shaker kitchens work in smaller spaces?
Yes. Spacer strips can be adapted to the size and layout of the kitchen. Even in smaller kitchens a shaker layout can improve proportions and create a more refined overall design.
