The bathroom is no longer just a room — it's become a parenthesis.

A place where you close the door behind you to better find yourself, breathe and do a real reset.
In renovations, whether it's a family home or an urban condo, it now takes on the role of an everyday sanctuary: functional, elegant, intimate and designed to soothe the senses.

Once a simple utilitarian space, today's walk-in closet takes on the appearance of a real living room. Because yes: the new generation walk-in closet now dares to integrate a discreet and elegant coffee corner, a bookcase or an armchair. Here's how this intimate place becomes one of the most sophisticated rooms in the home.

There is something timeless about Parisian kitchens. This mix of retro charm, noble materials and well-thought-out efficiency is a dream – even thousands of miles away from the City of Light. Good news: it is quite possible to recreate this chic and warm atmosphere in a Montreal apartment. Here are some tips to transform your kitchen into a corner of Paris.

Less technology, more simplicity: when design reconnects with its emotional dimension.

Our interiors are no longer just practical spaces they’ve become refuges. After the era of gadgets and cold aesthetics, we’re returning to homes that feel more human, warm, and full of life.

Smooth circulation, open spaces, and above all, natural light have become essential. A home designed to breathe, open up, and encourage connection is a home that truly cares for those who live in it.

Although technology can make everyday tasks easier, when it takes over our space, it erases what truly matters: warmth and human connection. Too much connectivity can end up disconnecting us from the natural simplicity we long for.

This design philosophy respects each space, while subtly influencing our mood, our relationships and the quality of the moments shared.

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.

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

At Cuisines Steam, 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.

The back kitchen, increasingly popular in custom kitchens, involves creating a separate space from the main kitchen to centralize practical tasks. This concept allows you to maintain an open and welcoming kitchen while optimizing storage, meal preparation, and household chores.

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