2026 is officially here.
The kitchen world is changing.
One style stands out.
It is the slim shaker cabinets trend.
It’s sleek.
It’s modern.
It’s taking over Minnesota homes.
Homeowners want something new.
They want clean lines.
They want a warm feel.
They want custom cabinetry that lasts.
At CM Woodworks, we agree.
This look is a winner.
It is the new classic.
It bridges every design gap.
Refined
Thinner rails and stiles.
Traditional shaker has wide frames.
It can feel heavy.
It can look a bit bulky.
Slim shaker changes the game.
The frame is very narrow.
Usually just half an inch.
Sometimes even less.
It looks incredibly sophisticated.
It looks very intentional.
The lines are crisp.
The shadows are subtle.
It creates a quiet elegance.
This isn't just a box.
It is a crafted piece.
Your kitchen deserves this detail.
Those lines, oh my.
It feels premium.
It feels high-end.
Modern
Clean but not cold.
Flat panels can feel sterile.
They often look like labs.
Nobody wants a cold kitchen.
Slim shaker adds depth.
It adds just enough detail.
It stays very modern.
But it feels very inviting.
It works with natural wood.
It works with bold paint.
It bridges two different worlds.
The ultra-modern meets the cozy.
It’s the perfect middle ground.
That is why it's popular.
People want visual balance.
We deliver that balance daily.
Versatile
Fits every home style.
Building a new farmhouse?
Slim shaker works perfectly.
Remodeling a mid-century home?
It fits right in.
Living in a sleek condo?
It looks incredible there.
It is a design chameleon.
It adapts to its surroundings.
Pair it with white marble.
Pair it with dark concrete.
It never looks out of place.
This is a safe bet.
But it feels daring too.
It’s a win-win choice.
Custom cabinets should be flexible.
This style is the ultimate.
Quality
Built to endure life.
Big box stores sell "slim."
But they sell "cheap" too.
Particle board does not last.
Paper-thin veneers will peel.
You deserve much better quality.
We provide custom cabinets that endure.
Everything is made in Minnesota.
We use premium materials only.
Solid wood frames are standard.
High-end plywood boxes are used.
Soft-close hinges are a must.
Our cabinets handle daily life.
Kids slamming doors?
No problem at all.
Heavy pots and pans?
Easy for our shelves.
We build them for you.
We build them to last.
Better
The CM Woodworks experience.
We don't just build boxes.
We solve kitchen layout problems.
Our process is "Better than Retail."
What does that mean?
It means personal service.
It means expert design advice.
It means we listen first.
Projects like these are tough.
They are never done alone.
We are your collaborative partner.
We guide you through choices.
Wood species.
Paint colors.
Hardware styles.
Layout tweaks.
We handle the stress.
You enjoy the beautiful result.
It’s a high-end service.
But with a friendly touch.
Storage
Functional and hidden beauty.
Style is great.
But function is vital.
Slim shaker hides great secrets.
Pull-out spice racks.
Hidden trash bins.
Deep pot drawers.
Corner carousels that work.
We maximize every single inch.
No wasted space here.
Custom cabinetry means custom storage.
We fit the cabinets to you.
Not you to the cabinets.
Organize your life.
Enjoy a clutter-free counter.
Everything has a home.
It makes cooking a joy.
Hybrid
The best of both.
Do you want frameless?
Or do you prefer inset?
We offer a frameless hybrid option.
It offers maximum storage space.
It keeps the clean look.
It pairs perfectly with slim shaker.
You get the modern European feel.
But with American durability.
It’s a specialized approach.
Most big stores can’t do it.
A local cabinet maker can.
We take pride in options.
We find the best fit.
Jewelry
Pairing with the hardware.
Slim shaker loves minimalist hardware.
Long, thin pulls look great.
Small, discrete knobs work too.
Matte black is very trendy.
Brushed gold adds luxury.
The hardware is the jewelry.
It finishes the whole look.
Keep the hardware simple.
Let the cabinet speak.
The slim frame is delicate.
Heavy hardware can overwhelm it.
Choose your metals wisely.
We can help you pick.
The right pull changes everything.
Colors
Trends for the year.
White is still the king.
But wood is coming back.
Warm oaks are very hot.
Deep walnuts look stunning.
We see lots of greens.
Muted sage is very popular.
Deep forest green is bold.
Slim shaker looks great painted.
It looks better in stain.
The grain adds beautiful texture.
It makes the kitchen alive.
Natural wood feels grounded.
Let's find your perfect color.
We offer custom finishing.
The possibilities are truly endless.
Local
Crafted right here.
We take pride in Minnesota.
Our workshop is our home.
Every door is cut here.
Every drawer is assembled here.
No overseas shipping delays.
No mystery materials used.
Just local, honest craftsmanship.
Supporting local business feels good.
Getting a superior product feels better.
