A kitchen hood is a necessity, especially as the eat-in kitchens and kitchen living rooms grow in popularity.
And they’re not only there to get rid of the cooking odors. The hoods also absorb smoke, heat, and steam from the air.
When it comes to the design, there are many different options – from the hoods that fit in perfectly with the rest of the kitchen to those that serve as a stylish accent.
Check out these 10 ideas!
1. Concealed Hood
When it comes to modern kitchens, any and all objects that don’t serve both a practical and aesthetic purpose are rejected.
That’s the secret behind the smooth design and effortless style of the majority of these kitchens.
Whichever design style you choose for your own cooking space, make sure that the kitchen hood is properly concealed.
2. Antique Match
Even if your kitchen is far from being modern, the same rule applies – perhaps even more so.
A metallic contraption hung from the ceiling would really hinder the overall appeal of the above antique kitchen.
The hood is safely concealed under the richly carved mask.
3. Luxury Design
The hood can be the strongest accent in your kitchen if you choose the right shape and design.
Make sure the hood mask is generally a fit for your kitchen, but perhaps slightly more ornamental. After all, that’s the very point of it.
4. Subtle Highlight
There are various options when it comes to mixing and matching kitchen elements.
You may match the hood to the kitchen cabinets, for instance, or you may match it to the electronics.
The above hood is the perfect match for the metallic matte stove, but its gold highlights help upscale the whole kitchen.
5. Industrial Hood
Industrial design is a rare pick that permits you to leave the pipes, the cords, and the lightbulbs exposed all over the place and have it look good.
If this is the style you’re cultivating in your kitchen, then you’re in luck. Install your hood as it is, tube and all!
6. B&W Style
A black and white color scheme is the perfect chance to introduce a contrasting kitchen hood.
There’s only one rule – it’s supposed to contrast the surrounding cabinets. That way, the hood will provide your kitchen with some much-needed dynamic appeal.
7. Soft Appeal
Kitchen hoods provide the room with a soft and romantic appeal, especially those that sport a curved design.
It’s best to match such a hood with gentle colors like shades of beige or various pastels.
8. Copper Hood
Copper is a style and utility giant when it comes to home appliances, tubs, and other elements.
Not only does it have a unique color and appeal, but it’s also extremely durable, and easy to maintain and it’s a good choice for overall hygiene due to its antimicrobial qualities.
On the other hand, copper is a great choice for vintage, country, rustic, and industrial spaces alike.
9. The Safest Choice
A plain kitchen hood that’s a perfect match with the rest of the cooking space is by far the safest choice and the easiest way to upscale the design of your kitchen.
It’s unimposing, but it also makes for a lovely finishing touch that ties the whole room together.
10. Modern Design
So, you may leave the kitchen hood exposed, as previously mentioned. You may conceal it entirely with a stylish mask.
Or you can choose the combination of the two.
Half-concealed kitchen hoods are a popular choice for modern kitchens. The hood mask isn’t outstanding, though it is simple and stylish.
This makes for a modern and clean look.
