How to Choose the Right Kitchen Style for Your Home.
A Kitchen Style Guide from Saturn Kitchens, Northampton
Choosing the right kitchen style can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. Your kitchen is more than just a functional space; it’s the heart of your home. The right design should reflect your taste, suit your lifestyle and complement your property.
At Saturn Kitchens, we help Northampton homeowners create kitchens that are both beautiful and practical. Here’s how to choose the perfect style for your home.
1: Explore Popular Kitchen Styles & Models
Understanding the most popular kitchen models can help you narrow down what feels right.
Shaker Kitchens
One of the UK’s most popular kitchen styles. Shaker kitchens feature a simple framed door design that works in both modern and traditional homes. They’re timeless, versatile and available in a wide range of colours — from soft neutrals to bold navy or deep green.
Perfect for: Classic homes, family kitchens, transitional spaces.
Slab Door / Modern Flat-Panel Kitchens
Flat-fronted doors with smooth finishes create a sharp, architectural feel. Available in matt, gloss or textured finishes, they’re ideal for bold, statement designs.
Perfect for: Urban homes, new builds, open-plan layouts.

2. Let Your Space Guide the Style
The size and layout of your room influence your choice.
Smaller kitchens benefit from lighter colours and simple door styles.
Larger spaces can handle statement islands, contrasting cabinetry and feature lighting.
Open-plan kitchens often suit handleless or shaker styles for a cohesive flow.
During your FREE 3D CAD design consultation, we help you visualise how each model works in your exact space.
3. Balance Style With Function
A kitchen must work as beautifully as it looks. Consider:
Storage requirements
Appliance integration
Island seating
Entertaining space
Workflow and practicality
At Saturn Kitchens, we design around how you live — not just how you want it to look.
4. Colours, Finishes & Details
Once you’ve chosen your door style, finishes bring it to life.
Matt vs gloss
Painted vs woodgrain
Light neutrals vs bold colours
Quartz, granite or laminate worktops
Statement handles or minimalist rails
Our Northampton showroom allows you to see and feel materials before making a decision.
