Kitchen hoods are necessary but also can be used to make a stunning statement in your kitchen. I think my favorite part of this kitchen is how they designer blended white, black, and wood accents to create a fresh, modern look. The cane chairs placed along the black-painted island perfectly match the word floating shelves on either side of the dramatic black hood vent, while the white walls and countertops keep the space bright. Black accents found in the light fixtures and faucet add a modern touch for an updated look.

When we moved into our home, we found the standard, builders-grade microwave above the stove. While functional, it lacks the style of a hood vent and isn’t at all cohesive with the kitchen design I want. It’s on my list to replace that eyesore with a custom hood vent that not only elevates the design but also looks seamless with the rest of the room.
I was so inspired by this gallery we’ve curated here because it’s packed full of gorgeous kitchen hood ideas. There are ideas for every style under the sun from contemporary to traditional and everywhere in between. Here, you’ll find photos of vent hoods that blend perfectly with the rest of the cabinetry, as well as examples that are eye-catching design features that stand out from the rest of the room.
No matter your preference, we promise you’ll find inspiration in our gallery here!
