The Evolution of Shaker Doors: A Modern Twist for Trade Clients in the Washington, DC Metro Area
In the vibrant world of kitchen and bath design, a trend particularly appealing to trade clients – including interior designers, architects, builders, and remodelers – in the Washington, DC, Arlington, VA, and Alexandria, VA areas, is the modernization of the classic shaker-style cabinet door. This trend offers a fresh perspective on the shaker door, a staple in design for its simplicity and elegance, now reimagined with a contemporary edge to meet the discerning tastes of professionals in the design and building industries.
Karen Wistrom, ASID, NCIDQ, CMG, VP of Marketing at Dura Supreme Cabinetry, highlights the significance of this trend: “Modern, skinny shaker door styles offer a sleek variation to a classic favorite, bringing a fresh and streamlined aesthetic to any space” (source: Dura Supreme Cabinetry). These doors, characterized by their finer stiles and rails or a more subtle panel, infuse a modern flair into the iconic shaker style, making them a perfect choice for high-end projects in the DMV region.
The collection from Dura Supreme includes a range of door styles such as Reese, Reese-Inset, Parker, Parker-Inset, Sutton, Randall, and Kips. Each style is designed to cater to the contemporary design preferences of trade professionals in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Whether it’s the modern sophistication of the Reese style or the European-inspired elegance of the Parker style, these doors are ideal for creating distinctive and upscale spaces.
In her ‘Cabinetry Trend Study: Less Is More,’ Sandy Kloncz of Dura Supreme Cabinetry discusses a minimalist trend that’s gaining traction nationally and particularly resonates with the architectural and interior design sensibilities in the DC metro area (source: Dura Supreme Cabinetry). This trend, emphasizing simpler, cleaner designs, aligns perfectly with the current design ethos in Washington, DC, appealing to trade professionals who seek to incorporate sleek and elegant elements in their projects.
One notable example of this trend is a mood board featuring the skinny Shaker styled door, Reese, in Cast Iron color, combined with Quarter-sawn White Oak in Alabaster stain. This design encapsulates the refined simplicity that is increasingly sought after by interior designers, architects, and builders in the DMV region.

How To Mix Kitchen Cabinet Colors
Are you having a hard time deciding between three cabinet finishes? Located in Alexandria, VA you’ll find a lovely new kitchen.
Here you’ll see classic white uppers, latte base and tall cabinets, and an oak peninsula. All cabinets are by our popular custom cabinet line, Dura Supreme. The oak cabinets are met to blend in with the floors. The marble tile backsplash ties the white and latte cabinets together.
Have you ever thought of joining your kitchen and dining room? In this kitchen we did. You’ll see how making two rooms into one really opens things up.
When you take down a wall you’re adding space to your house. No longer is the kitchen hidden. If you have a kitchen like this you can entertain and clean. Or clean your kitchen while keeping an eye on your kids.
