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.

In a contemporary kitchen layout, certain details make all the difference. The invisible door—also called a flush door—is a perfect example.

It allows you to elegantly conceal a walk-in pantry, a garage exit, or access to a laundry room, while maintaining perfect continuity with the surrounding cabinetry.

Designed to align perfectly with the kitchen cabinets or blend seamlessly into a paneled wall, the invisible door extends the lines of the cabinetry without any visible frame, molding, or traditional handle. When closed, it disappears completely into the overall design—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 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.

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.

Quality lacquer: How to make the right choice to ensure the longevity of your kitchen cabinets

At Cuisines Steam, each lacquer project is the result of artisanal know-how, combining technique, precision and aesthetic requirements. It is this rigor that makes all the difference, far beyond the simple color.

Our designers accompany you from the first stage of planning by analyzing your space to determine the configuration best suited to your needs. To do this, they rely on five main kitchen configurations: the U-shaped kitchen, the L-shaped kitchen, the I-shaped (or linear) kitchen, the hallway kitchen (or laboratory) and the kitchen with a central island. This choice is essential to optimize the functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics of your future layout.

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.
