The many facets of the backsplash: between history and contemporary design.

The backsplash is not just a decorative element: it has a rich history, and its evolution is a testament to major trends in interior design. Once used mainly to protect walls from splashes in traditional kitchens and period bathrooms, it has been able to survive the decades by constantly reinventing itself.

Already present in nineteenth-century European kitchens, often in the form of white or floral ceramic tiles, the backsplash fulfilled a primarily utilitarian function. Over time, it has become a real creative tool, at the crossroads between functionality and aesthetics. Today, kitchen backsplashes and bathroom backsplashes come in an incredible variety of materials, sizes, and finishes.

At Cuisines Steam, timelessness of design is at the heart of our philosophy. When it comes to rethinking a kitchen or bathroom, we believe that lasting beauty requires choices that are both sober and thoughtful. For 2025, our trendy backsplash favorites reflect just that: clean lines, quality materials and understated elegance that transcends fashion.

Steam Kitchens accompanies you to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

At Steam Kitchens, every custom kitchen project is an opportunity to push the boundaries of design. Driven by our passion and driven by a constant desire for innovation, we create functional, elegant and resolutely unique spaces.

Our Colour of the Year is the result of deep thought.
It did not impose itself by chance, nor by fashion. It was born out of a desire to create an atmosphere that is contemporary, soothing and sophisticated at the same time. Eggplant was the starting point for our new showroom kitchen, around which our entire 2025 palette was built. A rich, muted hue that embodies understated luxury and enduring elegance.

In this space, the aubergine lacquer dialogues with the shade of the wood in a subtle shade, creating a warm and enveloping atmosphere. The masterful contrast between brilliance and material evokes the hushed world of a cigar lounge, with its discreet refinement, deep tones and assumed comfort. A kitchen designed as a place of life, exchange and character — where every detail counts.

A hybrid space that reinvents everyday moments

Among the most fashionable design trends this year, the bar area integrated into the kitchen is a real favorite among our customers. This new way of furnishing the kitchen combines aesthetics, functionality and a passion for home mixology.

For several months now, we have seen a growing enthusiasm for the creation of a space dedicated to craft cocktails and spirits. Our customers want to incorporate a stylish bar area into their kitchen to store mixology accessories, display their favourite bottles, and prepare drinks in style.

In the past, the home bar was limited to the traditional '60s wheeled cart — popularized by shows like Mad Men — or the retro basement bar of the '70s. Today, these concepts are being reinvented to fit modern kitchens.

While integrated wine cellars still appeal to wine lovers, cocktail enthusiasts are looking for creative solutions to diversify their beverage space. Whether you're a fan of local spirits, a mocktail lover or a budding mixologist, incorporating a bar into your kitchen is the perfect solution to combine style, conviviality and the pleasure of entertaining.

At Steam, when it comes to designing a kitchen, we firmly believe that every detail counts. This meticulous attention, a sign of quality workmanship, is a real source of pride for us. Our passion for finishing is reflected in breathtaking results.
