H Need Hood Help!!!

8 years ago

I was supposed to get arches for the range hood dexor but when they came in the color didn't match the rest of the cabinets! Now the contractor is telling us that our cabinet brand doesn't make arches and we are left with this so far.

So far I'm hearing only two options:
1) They have flat panels that match which means it stays like this but colors at least match

2) They can place the face of a drawer on the front and place flat panels on the sides.

Any ideas??? This will be the focal point of the kitchen and it ended up looking to plain and "boxy"

Remove it and do a stainless chimney hood. What you have doesn’t work at all, and adding drawer fronts sure isnt going to improve it.

I'm assuming an insert was going in there? Have you looked at under cabinet options like in this pic?

If you go with the chimney style, you would remove those cabinets.

The top pic seems like the best route.
This way I can save both the moulding and cabinets.

I agree with above that an undercabinet stainless steel hood will be your best option. I actually think it will look better than even if your hood cabinet had matched like it was supposed to. The stainless breaks up the blocky cabinets and adds a nice gleam. Try to get a hood with baffle filters, not mesh filters; baffle filters work much better.

Everything happens for a reason - hopefully it will turn out better than originally planned.

Thanks for the ideas everyone!
