Shaker kitchen before and after: new finishes, same layout

HomeDesignly editorial team

A dated kitchen with honey-oak cabinets, beige laminate counters and almond tile, given new finishes with the kitchen visualizer: greige Shaker-style cabinets, white quartz counters, a glossy tile backsplash and brass hardware. The layout, the appliances, the window and the floor stayed as they were.

The starting room

The kitchen in the starting photo works; it just looks dated. Orange-toned oak cabinets meet beige counters and almond tile, so the whole room reads as one warm brown, and the white appliances stand out against it.

What changed

  • Greige Shaker-style doors and drawer fronts on the same cabinets
  • White quartz-look countertops
  • A glossy, handmade-look tile on the backsplash, clearest on the left wall
  • Brass knobs and pulls

What stayed the same

  • Every cabinet's place, size and number
  • The white appliances
  • The window and its curtain
  • The vinyl floor
  • The camera angle

Colors in the result

  • #A18E7D
  • #DBCBC2
  • #CEC6BE
  • #C7BBB6

Sampled from the result image. Screens show color differently.

Materials and finishes

  • Greige painted cabinets
  • White quartz-look counters
  • Glossy ceramic tile
  • Brass hardware

Who it suits

Kitchens whose layout works but whose finishes have aged, and where the cabinet boxes are sound. A soft greige with white counters suits a kitchen that keeps white appliances, since nothing has to match a stainless finish.

Limitations

  • Furniture sizes and positions are visual approximations, not measurements.
  • Colors on screen differ from real paint and materials. Check them with physical samples.
  • Results depend on the photo: its light, its angle and what is in the room.
  • The image shows new Shaker fronts. Painting your doors and replacing them look alike in a photo, but they are different jobs.
  • Only the finishes changed: the floor and the appliances are the old ones.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the kitchen look the same apart from the finishes?

The kitchen visualizer changes only the finishes you pick, here the doors, cabinet color, countertops, backsplash and hardware, and keeps the layout, the appliances, the window and the floor.

Is this a real home?

No. The starting photo is a sample room we generated to test the tool, as the note under the image says. The result is what the tool made from it, without retouching.
