In a contemporary kitchen design, certain details make all the difference. The invisible door — also known as a flush door — is a good example.

It elegantly conceals a walk-in pantry, an exit to the garage, or access to a laundry room, while maintaining perfect continuity with the surrounding cabinets.

Designed to align perfectly with kitchen cabinets or fit into a paneling wall, the invisible door extends the lines of the furniture, with no visible frames, moldings, or traditional handles. When closed, it disappears completely in the overall set — a choice that is both aesthetic and subtle.

The effect is even more spectacular when the door is:

• Full-height, up to the ceiling, enhancing verticality and architectural elegance

• Equipped with a push-to-open system, for handle-free opening with a simple gesture

This combination creates a perfect balance between sleek design and understated functionality.

An artisanal method, mastered by Cuisines Steam to sublimate each essence with precision.

At Steam Kitchens, each project is shaped with precision, passion and high standards. Our kitchen cabinets are not simply manufactured, they are meticulously designed and finished according to rigorous processes, inherited from artisanal know-how and enhanced by years of field experience.

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.

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.
