When you are designing your dream kitchen, range hoods can often be overlooked until the last minute. We can often become preoccupied with finding the perfect cabinet doors and finishes for our surfaces.
Or if you have a small kitchen, you might be hyper-focused on the clever storage ideas that you need to incorporate. However, a range hood is one of the most important aspects of a kitchen.
They help to keep your kitchen free from grease, grime, and smoke while you are cooking. In this article, we will look at some amazing kitchen range hood ideas for your dream kitchen.
Wall Range Hoods
If you are looking to create a kitchen that has an overall classic style, a traditional wall range hood could be the perfect choice for your dream kitchen. All of the range hoods mentioned below are super easy to install and boast a lot of power and efficiency.
30" Wall Range Hood
This 30” wall range hood combines a traditional wall-mounted and exposed design with a sleek modern appearance and sharp angles. The tapered design is very popular among people who are looking for a clean-cut design for their kitchen.
The control panel on the front of the hood is also incredibly unobtrusive which is perfect for anyone looking for a sleek finish to their kitchen. Via the control panel, you can control the integrated LED lights and the 4-speed blower.
The 900 CFM single blower is superbly effective at keeping the air in your kitchen clear and healthy while you are cooking. This can be great if you are designing a kitchen that is multi-functional.
The blower pulls the air through the stainless steel baffle filters that then trap the grease and oils that are produced by cooking. These filters are super easy to clean. Simply remove them from the hood and pop them into your dishwasher to keep them working at their best.
36" Wall Range Hood
If you are looking for a more modern and minimalist look to incorporate into your dream kitchen, this 36” wall range hood could be the perfect choice for you. The rectangular design of this hood is more unique than the tapered design mentioned above.
This can be a great talking point for your guests at dinner parties. The 430 stainless steel finish that this range hood boasts not only gives it a sleek design but also makes it an incredibly durable product.
The most impressive thing about this range hood is the power that is packed into the compact design. The dual blower has an incredible maximum setting of 1100 CFM which makes it perfect for households that enjoy cooking greasy or spicy food and want to maintain clean air.
The sleek LED control panel allows you to control the 6 different blower speeds that the hood offers. There are also two LED lights that allow you to maintain clear lighting over your cooking.
Island Range Hoods
If the kitchen of your dreams has an island where your range is located, these island range hoods could be the perfect finishing touch that you have been looking for. When you install your range cooker on an island, you need a special type of range hood that doesn’t need to be installed against a wall. These options could be just what you have been searching for.
30" Island Range Hood
This 30” island range hood model is one of the sleekest and most modern designs on the market. However, this hood is much more than style over substance. The 600 CFM blower makes light work of all the odors, grease, and smoke that can be produced during cooking.
This helps to keep the air in your kitchen healthy and fresh. The curved glass of the hood provides a contemporary look, however, it also helps to guide smoke and steam into the vents.
There are 4 LED lights that are integrated into this range hood. These are perfect for providing some extra lighting for your cooking area. The position of the 4 lights helps to light up your entire island which can help make group cooking easier.
48" Island Range Hood
If you want a larger, more imposing island range hood in your kitchen, this 48” option could be what you have been looking for. Although the design of this island range hood feels less stylish and sleek than the one mentioned above, it can fit perfectly into the right kitchen.
If you are looking for a more professional, stainless steel kitchen design, this will fit right in. The size of the hood provides you with excellent coverage on even the largest of range cookers.
The 1100 CFM dual blower provides an impressive amount of suction to help remove the grease and smoke from the air while you cook. The filters that catch all of the grease and oil are made from aluminum mesh and are incredibly easy to clean and maintain.
All you need to do is pop them in your dishwasher every few weeks to keep them working optimally. Again, the hood features LED lighting to help illuminate your cooking space.
Under Cabinet Range Hoods
If you want to include a range hood in your dream kitchen that doesn’t draw as much attention as a wall-mounted or island range hood does, an under cabinet hood could be just what you need.
These range hoods are just as powerful and effective as the other types of hood, but they are much more subtle and don’t overpower a kitchen.
42" Under Cabinet Range Hood
This 42” under cabinet range hood is subtle, but will still provide you with all the coverage that you need for your cooking space. This hood features a powerful 900 CFM blower that effectively and easily removes contaminants from your kitchen while you cook.
This is perfect for keeping the air in your kitchen healthy for your whole family. The 430 stainless steel finish means that cleaning the outside of the hood is simple and the hood is durable enough to last for years to come.
The filters that capture all the grease and oils from your kitchen are super simple to clean. Simply remove them from the hood and place them in the top drawer of your dishwasher to keep them free from build-up and working the best that they can.
The LCD control panel adds to the sleek look of this hood, allowing you to effortlessly adjust the blower speed and control the LED lights that help illuminate your range top.
30" Under Cabinet Range Hood
A great option for smaller kitchens with smaller ranges is this 30” under cabinet range hood. The design of this hood is sleek and low profile which means that it won’t be grabbing your guests' attention away from other aspects of your kitchen.
This is one of the smaller range hoods that you can buy from Proline standing at only 9 inches tall. However, don’t let the small, compact size put you off. This small but mighty range hood still packs an impressive punch.
The dual blower boasts an incredible 900 CFM which allows the stainless steel baffle filters to capture all the grease and grime that is produced through cooking. These filters can also be easily cleaned in your dishwasher every few weeks to keep them working effectively.
The small LCD touch screen keeps this range hood modern. Through the panel, you can easily adjust the speed of the blower depending on what stage of cooking you are at. You can also control the integrated LED lights from the panel to help you see while you are cooking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Type Of Hood Is Right For My Kitchen?
The answer to this question depends on the type of range cooker that you have, the location of your cooker, and the type of cooking that you do.
The most obvious limitation in the type of range hood you should get is the location of your cooker. If your range is built into an island, a wall range hood or an under cabinet range hood is unlikely to work for you.
Similarly, if you have a range cooker that is against a wall or beneath a cabinet, an island hood isn’t going to work. Once you know where you are going to put your cooker, you can choose an appropriate type of hood.
The more greasy or spicy food you cook, and the bigger your range cooker is, the larger your range hood should be. Ideally, a range hood will be wide enough and deep enough to cover the entirety of your cooking surface.
This will make the extraction of grease, smoke, and other contaminants much more efficient and keep your kitchen feeling fresh and comfortable.
Final Thoughts
There are many different types of range hoods that you can choose from. No matter where you have located the range top in your kitchen, there is a stunning range hood for you to create your dream kitchen.
