After our trip to Chicago  I’ve been so inspired to start working on our Kansas City project! One of the options we’ve been exploring for the client is customizing a metal hood for their kitchen. How can we not be excited about this!?  The addition of a metal hood above a range can add such a focal point to a kitchen…it’s just like artwork! There’s so many different options when it comes to shape, size, finish and details like trim and rivets. As designers, we’re provided with tons of fun tools to customize hoods…one of our favorites is from Vent-A-Hood, the options are literally endless! Start creating your unique hood here! Also, check out my latest inspiration pics below!

Let’s start out with a bang…a bright yellow kitchen with a statement hood? Yes, please!

Adding a scallop to this hood creates a feminine feel to this vintage inspired space!

Aww copper, all the rage these days! This deserves its own blog post! Love the impact it creates in this French Country kitchen.

This hood is a bit more rustic, but nicely portrays the detail that can go into creating a custom hood…love the addition of the rivets!

This may be my favorite kitchen period. Who doesn’t want a navy and brass hood? Perfectly preppy!

Not many people would think to do a white metal hood…love how fresh this space feels!

There’s nothing more classic than a black, white, and brass space. Designer approved!

Love the look of an oversized hood in this formal space.
