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.

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.

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.

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.

Lighting transforms the kitchen into a true haven of peace, perfect for unwinding whether for an aperitif, a meal, homework, games, or a reading session. Artificial light permeates our living spaces, making its optimization essential for daily well-being.

Although choosing a trash bin may not be the most exciting step in a kitchen renovation, we are convinced that a well-designed waste management system can transform your daily routine.
