A kitchen range hood is designed to remove pollutants from the air in your home, but just because it has a “dirty” job doesn’t mean it can’t be the stunning centerpiece of the room! There are endless combinations of features, sizes, designs, and finishes for kitchen hoods, with one of the most popular these days being copper.
If you’re looking for some inspiration for a kitchen remodel with a copper kitchen range hood, here are six magnificent kitchens to get some ideas flowing:
1. A Copper Hood Is the Main Attraction
Even though a few different metals are used in this beautiful kitchen, the one that commands the most attention is copper – specifically, the copper range hood. Notice that the width of this magnificent hood is the same as the range under it. Your hood should always be the same size as the range it serves.
This artisan custom range hood is an ideal choice for this kitchen for several reasons. Every detail has been carefully planned and thoughtfully chosen to complement that particular appliance. The phenomenal brick wall has the same color tone as the hood, and so does the warm cabinet lighting to the right of it.
Everything in this kitchen is part of a pairing in terms of colors and finishes, which makes the entire room beautifully coordinated despite a wide range of textures. For instance, the stark white stone countertops pair with the cabinetry and doors.
The same is true even for the black in the range, which pairs with the bottom of the kitchen island. Finally, the stainless steel of the sink reflects the same finish of the range.
The cozy elegance of the room is mixed with a touch of rustic charm, which is displayed beautifully in the hammered texture of the custom range hood. This creates a room that is perfect for creating meals suitable for any occasion.
2. Lavish Cabinetry Surrounds a Stunning Custom Copper Hood
The first words that might come to your mind when you first see this kitchen might be something like, “holy cow!” or maybe “wow!” There is plenty to discuss regarding this ornate, fully customized kitchen range hood and everything that surrounds it, which create quite an impressive space together.
This Signature custom range hood has luxurious trim around an intricate one-of-a-kind design on the apron. This three-sided wall mount range hood is timeless and strong, adding a luxurious aesthetic with a traditional flair to the room.
There are lights under the range hood that bring attention to the stunning stainless range top below them. While at first, you might think it strange to have a bright stainless cooktop paired with a copper range hood, it works beautifully for two reasons.
The first is that the range top is the same finish as the ovens to the left of it. The second is that it brings out the swirls in the black marble backsplash and countertops, blending everything together.
One of the biggest kitchen design trends lately is mixing textures and materials. The key to doing this successfully is to make sure that everything is paired with something else in the room, just like the range top and ovens are both stainless steel.
The custom copper range hood is the same color as the lush hardwood cabinetry surrounding it, creating an uninterrupted flow from one end of the room to the other.
3. Classic Meets Classy
This is the perfect range hood for this classic kitchen. Its smooth apron dressed in copper rivets and straps is anything but ordinary, but it’s still simple in design. It’s a great example of doing a lot with a little! The slightly textured body of the hood adds visual interest to the entire kitchen.
The copper finish on this classic custom range hood does an outstanding job at drawing attention to the subway tile wall behind it because it highlights the grout in between each tile. In addition, the darker tone of the copper used for this hood brings out the dark finish of the drawer pulls and cabinet handles.
From the photo, we can tell that this kitchen is a small one, so choosing bright white for the cabinetry not only brightens up the space but also makes it seem larger than it really is. The countertops are luxurious marble that blends the bright colors and finishes beautifully with the dark ones in a way that isn’t overbearing or “loud.”
Every shade and color throughout the kitchen appears in the beautiful stone countertops and, to a lesser degree, in the subway wall tiles, too. This brings everything together seamlessly, with the custom copper range hood as the central focal point.
4. Rich, Deep Coffee-Colored Copper and Cream
Coffee and cream go together perfectly in more ways than one, and this ornate custom copper hood is a perfect example. This kitchen is all about richness and texture. Every last detail has been chosen intentionally; nothing has been added without thought.
The custom vent hood is all about old-world luxury and traditional styling, yet when placed as the centerpiece in a modern kitchen, it adds depth and a bit of intrigue to the space.
The deep tone of the copper matches the rich finish of the wooden cabinets on either side of the hood. If you look carefully, you’ll also notice that it matches the brown utensil cup on the left, as well.
When big details match smaller details, it creates fluidity in a room, which is essential to successful interior design. The kitchen is no exception. The copper tea kettle that sits on the cooktop is a different finish than the body of the range hood. However, notice that it instead calls attention to the scrolling crafted design on the apron of the hood.
The countertops display a blend of the dark and light tones present in everything from the hood to the wall to the cooktop and cabinets. The tiled backsplash wall adds a bright visual interest that is still soft enough to not break the warm, inviting feeling of the room as a whole.
5. A Traditionally Graceful Kitchen at Its Finest
Elegance is in no short supply in this Victorian-like kitchen, and the custom copper range hood is the showstopper! You can never go wrong with a classic style for a kitchen. The deep copper finish of the hood gives a marbled “old” appearance to a beautifully modern piece of kitchen equipment.
You might be wondering why the homeowner here did not choose a range hood in white. Even though white is a very neutral color (perhaps the most neutral), you have to be careful with how much of it is used.
While it’s true that a white hood would definitely match the rest of the kitchen, it would be too much. The space would look washed out and lack depth and visual interest. With a white hood, you likely wouldn’t notice the lavish metallic design on the wall behind it or even the shiny cabinet door handles and drawer pulls.
This classic hood is the perfect choice for what appears to be a kitchen that’s a bit smaller in size. You can see that although there is no range underneath it in this photo, the hood is the same width as the future range will be.
Don’t ever be afraid to add an unexpected color or texture to your kitchen remodeling plans!
6. A Custom Copper Hood at the Height of Luxury
7. A Hood With An Extended Chunky Side Apron
Another way to finish off your kitchen is to get a range hood with an extended side apron. These look incredibly stylish and give the hood a sense of heft that you don’t get if you pick a standard design.
CopperSmith actually offers a range of custom range hoods with aprons similar to the one in the image above. These hoods have a unique ability to frame your cooking area and give it a rustic appearance. The stylish design helps to make the range hood feel self-contained. There’s even a rail for hanging pots, pans, and cooking utensils so you can access them easily.
8. A Brass Range Hood
You could also try finishing your kitchen with a brass range hood. These are slightly different options for homeowners who don’t want pure copper but are still looking for an easy-to-clean, cozy, and classy finish. (Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, which makes it resistant to tarnishing).
Again, CopperSmith sells a vast collection of brass range hoods because so many of our hood designs are customizable. Brass helps to give the hood presence and enables you to give your kitchen contrasting finishes, something we already discussed.
The cool thing about brass range hoods is that you can get them in a range of styles to complement your rooms. We sell boxy versions for minimalist and modern kitchens, concave four-and five-sided versions for rustic kitchens, and hoods with pronounced chimneys for functional and utilitarian interiors.
Once you start exploring our range of brass range hoods, you’ll quickly find one that can slot into your kitchen. Remember, all the units in the collection are fully customizable, letting you create something unique for your setup.
9. A Custom Island Range Hood
A custom island range hood is another excellent option for finishing off your kitchen. In the picture, you can see how this could look in hammered brass metal with a striking chimney section for the vent and a large area at the bottom to capture waste cooking gasses.
Remember, kitchen islands are a significant investment. As such, you’ll want to pair them with an attractive range hood. You can pick from various styles, including the distinctly European style of the hood pictured above.
Island hoods also need to be slightly more powerful than conventional wall-mounted units. Air in the center of the kitchen tends to be more turbulent, requiring hoods to have more powerful blowers to achieve the same protective effect. Fortunately, our hoods are specially calibrated to help you keep noxious cooking gasses and smoke out of your kitchen, no matter what you decide to throw on the hob.
10. Imposing Modernist Hood With Brick Backsplash
Many customers also like to include copper range hoods to make their kitchens feel more modern, particularly in small apartments or non-standard dwellings in converted warehouses. As you can see in the rendering above, copper pairs well with minimalist aesthetics, bringing unquestionable style and sophistication to the room.
What’s nice about this design concept is how the imposing hood and hob contrast with the bijou sink and window. The rendering proves you don’t need a particularly large kitchen to enjoy sizable ranges and copper hoods. It also shows you can pair them with a distinctly neutral theme, including basic laminate countertops and white-painted cabinetry with brass knobs and fittings.
11. Tall Copper Hood For High Ceilings
If your house is particularly old or grand, you might want to consider getting a taller copper hood. These can emphasize your existing ceiling height and make it look even more impressive.
The problem with many of today’s fitted kitchens is that designers make them for standard ceiling heights between 10 and 12 feet. While their inventions look good in most rooms, they may not suit yours if you live in a Victorian or Georgian-era home, or if you live in a luxury home where designers deliberately increased the ceiling height. Adding a tall copper hood above your range is an excellent way to help the room feel more “complete” and make sense visually.
12. Turquoise And Decorative Copper: The Perfect Combination
Lastly, you might want to try pairing copper with turquoise, as so elegantly shown in this design. The decorative copper hood looks stunning in the context of the rest of the kitchen, acting as a centerpiece above a modest range. This particular design is three-sided and comes with a scalloped apron, giving the room a traditional, welcoming feel.
When it comes to pairing neutral tones with an elegant copper range hood that commands attention, the kitchen space is sure to be nothing less than grand. The neutral colors of the cabinetry, wall, ceiling, and countertops offer a stunning contrast to the bold Signature range hood in a smooth copper finish.
Contrasting finishes is one of the hottest design trends right now, and it’s easy to see why. In kitchen design, it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of having too much of one thing. There are a lot of cabinets here, and they are all the same color.
The range hood interrupts any chance of monotony in the space. The owner of this kitchen has done an extraordinary job using every inch of vertical space available.
Adding the upper shelves with lights above the cabinets draws the eyes up, expanding the grandeur of the room. Notice the drawers that are below counter-level are more dimly lit than the upper cabinets. This is intentional.
Leaving the lower storage areas with less light than the upper part of the room adds a modern touch that is also warm and inviting as guests are drawn to look up right at the centerpiece – the custom copper range hood.
If you’ve decided on a new range hood for your kitchen, CopperSmith has exactly what you’re looking for. Our custom-designed hoods are available in a huge array of sizes, finishes, colors, and materials. Contact our team today to order or for help with anything.
