Shaker Kitchen with Filler Strips

A shaker kitchen with filler strips creates the timeless, framed look often seen in classic built-in kitchens. By adding slim filler pieces between, above, and below your cabinets, each door gains definition and a beautiful sense of balance. The method works perfectly with IKEA Metod cabinets as well as other brands, giving you the look of bespoke joinery – with modern precision. In this guide, we explain how to plan, measure, and install the strips for a symmetrical and refined result. A simple way to transform your kitchen into something timeless and crafted.
