Capture Area
This is the term for the range hood’s footprint. It is measured in width and depth of the range hood itself in relation to the cooktop below. Technically, the width of the fan will match the width of the range or cooktop. Its depth should cover the back burners and at least half of the front burners.
But from a designer's point of view, this can result in bottom-heavy-looking feature areas and a decorative hood that is not proportional in size and shape. There's more to it than a simple equation. Aside from the available space that can be dedicated to the hood fan in a kitchen, the perceived volume of a hood depends on the design of the hood fan itself (straight or boxlike versus tapered, for example), as well as the style of the appliance (contemporary, stainless or decoratively wrapped in cabinetry) and the distance between the fan and its neighboring upper cabinets.
I agree that doing a faux stain on all your woodwork and doors could potentially be heavy and dark. Here's an alternative, do a decorative finish on all your trim. You can do anything from an antiqued painted wood look to an aged plaster appearance. Very Tuscan! You can custimizethe glaze coat, so you will control how dark it will turn out. For the doors, do the faux stain look. Great contrast and will add to the overall look.
