Inside the Plain Shaker family
Every Plain Shaker door in this family shares one anatomy: a crisp frame with square-cut shoulders around a flat recessed panel, pressed from a single 18mm E1-grade MDF board and wrapped in one seamless skin — the shaker look with no joints to open. What changes between the eight doors is proportion: from the Vilo’s minimal 12mm frame to the Athlone’s stately 110mm, with the Chelsea’s 63mm sitting in the classic middle.

About This Style
The shaker wardrobe is Britain’s default for a reason: a framed door with a flat panel suits every ceiling height, every era of house and every colour you could paint a wall. This page is our whole Plain Shaker family — eight doors sharing one construction, differing only in the width of the frame, from the barely-there Vilo (12mm) to the boldly traditional Athlone (110mm). Shown in soft white with brass T-bars on the Chelsea, the family favourite.
How it works: the frame and panel are routed into an 18mm E1-grade MDF core (PEFC/FSC® accredited), then wrapped in one seamless skin — no rails, no joints, no paint lines to crack. Doors hang on soft-close Blum hinges with your choice of handles, and every carcass is cut to your measured wall in our Wembley workshop.
Make it yours: 80+ matt, superior matt and woodgrain finishes (shaker suits the velvet-matt faces; no gloss in this family), ten Kronospan interior colours, floor-to-ceiling with top boxes, alcoves, walk-ins and corners.
Every shaker fitted wardrobe is designed at a free home visit, made to measure in North London, and installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.
