Custom Wood Hoods for Your Dream Kitchen

If you think stovetop hoods are installed only for ventilation and light, have we got a treat for you.  A skilled craftsman can create a hood that becomes an important architectural focal point of the kitchen. A well-made hood will help unify all the other design elements of the kitchen into a pleasing whole.
How? Let’s look at some examples:
In the custom work done in the Engleberg home, decorative moldings and corbels were attached to the hood before the whole was painted white and darkened in the crevices to achieve the French country look. Another view shows the additional decorations on the upper hood, as well as the molding which matches that of the rest of the cabinets. The contrast of the cabinetry with the countertops and flooring adds depth and interest to the room while maintaining its character.
The Lippard home showcases a much different hood. Its unique geometrics immediately draw the eye, while the consistency of its color and styling unify the components of the room. Again, the contrasts between the dark wood, the stainless steel appliances, and the mottled tile floor strike a pleasing balance. (The unique tray ceiling is an especially nice touch.)
The Merendino home displays elegant functionality, in that the hood is subordinate to the cabinets over the rangetop. The simplicity of the design highlights the beautiful tile, countertops, and warm wood, while pendant lighting and scrolled corbels add period distinction. Other great features here are the pull-out spice racks hidden behind lovely fluted cabinetry.
