The choice of materials influences both the aesthetics and the durability of a kitchen. Wood, stone, lacquer and backsplash: understanding their role allows you to design a coherent and timeless space.

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

At Cuisines Steam, 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.

In this article, we introduce you to the different finishing techniques that we master in the workshop. Today, we focus on staining, a rigorous method that enhances the wood grain like no other. Our meticulous, consistent approach makes all the difference in the final result.

The Many Facets of the Backsplash: Between History and Contemporary Design

The backsplash is more than just a decorative element: it has a rich history, and its evolution reflects major trends in interior design. Once used primarily to protect walls from splashes in traditional kitchens and period bathrooms, it has endured through 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, timeless design is at the heart of our philosophy. When it comes to reimagining a kitchen or bathroom, we believe lasting beauty comes from choices that are both simple and thoughtful. For 2025, our favorite backsplash trends reflect this approach: clean lines, high-quality materials, and understated elegance that transcends fleeting fashions.
