Cavallo Shaker Kitchen Doors

Why Choose Cavallo Kitchen Doors?

The Cavallo range is where traditional shaker design meets Italian manufacturing excellence. Unlike cheaper alternatives that use flat, wrapped panels, Cavallo doors feature genuine 5-piece construction - a solid frame surrounding a centre panel, exactly as shaker doors were originally made.

What makes Cavallo special is the subtle woodgrain texture running through the painted finish. It adds depth and character that plain painted doors simply can't match. The result is a door that looks and feels premium, with the kind of quality you'd expect from a bespoke kitchen at a fraction of the price.

Cavallo Door Colours

The Cavallo collection is available in 9 colours, carefully selected to suit both contemporary and traditional kitchens:

Neutrals & Whites

• White - Clean, bright and timeless. The most versatile choice for any kitchen.
• Ivory - Softer and warmer than pure white. Perfect for traditional and country kitchens.
• Cashmere - A warm, creamy neutral with subtle depth. Hugely popular and incredibly easy to live with.

Greys

• Light Grey - Soft, contemporary grey that works with almost any colour scheme.
• Dust Grey - A mid-tone grey with warmth. Modern without being cold.
• Anthracite - Deep charcoal grey for bold, dramatic kitchens.

Greens

• Sage Green - Soft, muted green that's become one of the most requested colours in kitchen design.
• Fir Green - Deeper, richer green with a heritage feel. Bold but sophisticated.

Blues

• Indigo - Deep navy blue that makes a real statement. Our most popular colour for good reason.

Cavallo Construction & Quality

5-Piece Shaker Frame Authentic shaker construction with four frame pieces surrounding a centre panel. This traditional method creates depth and shadow lines that flat-panel doors can't replicate.

Italian Manufacturing Made in Italy using precision machinery and rigorous quality control. Italian kitchen doors are renowned worldwide for their finish quality and durability.

Woodgrain Texture The painted finish has a subtle woodgrain texture beneath, adding tactile interest and visual depth. It also helps hide minor marks and fingerprints better than smooth finishes.

22mm Thickness Substantial 22mm doors that feel solid and substantial. The extra thickness adds quality to every interaction.

Matching Components Complete your kitchen with matching drawer fronts and finishing components including plinths, cornice, pelmet and end panels - all in the same colour and finish.

What Handle Styles Suit Cavallo Doors?

Shaker doors are wonderfully versatile when it comes to handles:

Traditional Look: Brushed nickel or antique brass cup handles honour the classic shaker aesthetic. Our Ashford and Fairmont cup handles are perfect matches.

Contemporary Feel: Matt black or brushed brass bar handles give shaker doors a modern edge. Try our Monaco or Verona handles for a sleek update.

Minimal Style: Simple knobs keep things understated. Our Osaka knurled knobs or Bredbury smooth knobs work beautifully.

Statement Hardware: Gold or copper handles create a striking contrast, particularly on darker colours like Indigo, Anthracite or Fir Green.
