In short

How we work

Our slim shaker front is neoSLIM: a fine frame drawn around each front in tobacco oak with greige soft-matt lacquer, with Evora Lack carrying the same slim frame in genuine matte lacquer, built to order in Germany to your room and installed by our own team across Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland.

The answer

Do you make slim shaker kitchen cabinets?

Yes. Our slim shaker front is neoSLIM from Nolte: a fine frame drawn around each front, in real tobacco oak veneer with greige soft-matt lacquer, built to order in Germany to your room's measurements. Evora Lack carries the same slim frame in genuine matte lacquer in greige, caramel and cashmere, and Focus and Porto add framed fronts in pistachio and magnolia for 2027. Designed at our Alexandria showroom, installed by our own team.

Before you start

Classic shaker

A wide, flat frame around a recessed panel, the traditional profile. Our framed ranges keep the frame slim instead.

Before you start

Slim shaker

neoSLIM draws a fine frame around each front in real oak veneer; Evora Lack does it in genuine matte lacquer. The line reads as structure, not as decoration.

Before you start

Flat handleless

neoFLAT, neoLINE and Manhattan: no frame, a grip channel or a slim bar handle, the fronts in one plane.

Before you start

Mixing them

A slim frame on the tall units and flat fronts on the island, or Evora Lack in cashmere with Primo oak veneer as the accent, as the collections pair them.

Before you start

Real wood or lacquer

neoSLIM is tobacco oak; Evora Lack is lacquer in greige, caramel or cashmere. Both are on the floor to compare under real light.

Before you start

Built to order

Every front is made in Germany to your dimensions after the design is approved, so the frame meets the ceiling and the walls cleanly.

Slim shaker, by range

The framed fronts in our collections

A classic shaker has a wide, flat frame. A slim shaker narrows it to a fine line, which is why it sits comfortably next to handleless runs. These are the framed fronts we build, as the manufacturer names them.

Every one is built to order in Germany to your room's measurements, and the framed ranges are in the catalogs and on the Alexandria showroom floor to compare.

How the project runs

01Consultation

We review your room, your storage, your architecture and your budget at the Alexandria showroom, in a private design appointment, complimentary, with no time limit, and agree what the cabinetry has to do.

How the project runs

023D Cabinet Design

Layout, elevations, proportions and finishes come back as photorealistic 3D, so you approve the cabinetry on screen before anything is committed.

How the project runs

03Specification and Quote

Every carcase, front, countertop, handle and internal system is itemized, so you can see exactly what you are paying for and adjust before release.

How the project runs

04Built to Order in Germany

The approved specification goes into production in Germany, made to your dimensions, with a delivery date you can plan the rest of the project around.

How the project runs

05Measurement and Fit

The same team that designed the cabinetry checks the site and installs it, so nothing is lost in a handoff between the drawing and the tools.

How the project runs

Timeline for a complete kitchen

From the day you sign, most kitchens take about five months: 2 to 4 weeks to settle the last details, then 16 weeks for production in Germany, shipping, installation and the tile work.

For cabinetry on its own, production and delivery typically run a few months from the point the design is approved and released. You receive a schedule once the design is final, and we plan the rest of the project around that date.

The cost

What slim shaker kitchen cabinets cost, and what moves the number

Cabinetry alone starts at $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one. These figures are for custom cabinetry only. The final price depends on kitchen size, cabinet configuration, materials, internal storage and selected details. Countertops, appliances, construction and installation are priced separately unless included in the proposal.

What moves the number

The size of the kitchen

The starting tiers are $15,000 for a small kitchen, $35,000 for a medium kitchen and $55,000 for a large one. The number of carcases is the first thing that moves the price.

What moves the number

Fronts

Soft-matt lacquer, solid and veneered real wood, metal-look and mirror-glass fronts sit at different points in the range, and every one is on the showroom floor to compare.

What moves the number

Interiors

Inner drawers, pull-outs, dividers and pantry systems are itemized one by one, so you can see what each adds.

What moves the number

Hardware

Handles, or handleless fronts with a grip channel, and the hinge and drawer systems behind them.

What moves the number

Installation

Installation by our own team is its own line in the proposal, next to the cabinetry. If you have your own contractor, we can supply the cabinetry alone.

What moves the number

A complete remodel

In 2026 our completed kitchen projects ran from $42,000 to $190,000 and up, with most between $90,000 and $145,000. Those are total installed values, not cabinetry prices.

Where we work

Slim shaker kitchen cabinets for Northern Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland

Aksesuar Design works with homeowners across the DMV from one studio and showroom in Alexandria, Virginia. The design happens here, and the same team builds and installs in your home.

Directions to the showroom

Asked often

Can custom cabinetry match my home's architectural style?

Yes. We work across handleless minimalism, grooved real-wood fronts, metal and glass surfaces, and warmer transitional directions. The starting point is your home, not a catalog, so the cabinetry is specified to sit correctly with your existing architecture, trim, and floors.

Asked often

What makes kitchen cabinets truly custom?

Custom means the cabinetry is planned and manufactured for your room rather than assembled from stock sizes. Carcase widths, heights, and depths are set to your walls and ceilings, interiors are planned around what you actually store, and the fronts, finishes, and hardware are specified rather than picked from a short menu. Nothing is trimmed with filler panels to cover a gap.

Asked often

Where are your cabinets made?

Our cabinetry is manufactured in Germany and built to order for each project. German production gives you tighter tolerances, better hinge and drawer engineering, and finishes that hold their color and texture through daily use. Some of the design directions we work in are Italian inspired, but the cabinetry itself is made in Germany.

Asked often

Can I choose a custom color?

Lacquer fronts come in a wide palette, from soft-matt neutrals to deep greens and reds, and every finish is on the showroom floor to compare.

Asked often

Can I see and compare the actual cabinets before I order?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Our Alexandria showroom holds full-size cabinet displays, so you can open drawers, test soft-close hardware, compare matte lacquer against real wood grain and metal, and see how finishes read under real light. Photos flatten the differences that matter most.

Asked often

How much do custom kitchen cabinets cost in Northern Virginia?

As a planning guide, cabinetry for a smaller kitchen starts around $15,000, a medium kitchen around $35,000, and a larger kitchen around $55,000. These are cabinetry starting points, not the cost of a complete renovation. Countertops, appliances, and construction work are quoted separately so you can see what each part of the project costs.
