Best Kitchen Vent Hood Ideas
Now that you have decided that you want a kitchen range hood in your kitchen’s design, it is time to select the style and finish of your dream hood.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A KITCHEN HOOD:
- You must consider the shape of your kitchen hood (curved, box shaped or somewhere in between).
- Once you have the shape selected, then you must decide the finish of the kitchen vent hood. Do you want it to match your kitchen cabinetry? Or do you want your kitchen hood to add a unique touch to your kitchen’s design.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to selecting a custom range hood. Here are 21 of the best kitchen vent hood ideas you should consider!
1. Small Kitchen Vent Hood Ideas
Just because you have a small kitchen, doesn’t mean that you can’t find the space for a small kitchen hood and here is the proof! This is our small kitchen hood that we designed with Home Depot. We decided to go with a faux cabinet that actually is a hidden kitchen hood.
This design idea was very affordable compared to a custom kitchen hood and we are proud of the way it came out! We met with a kitchen design expert at Home Depot and they showed us options that would fit our budget and kitchen’s layout.

This beautiful rectangle cabinet range hood adds both design and dimension to the kitchen’s aesthetic.

Opt for a black stainless steel kitchen vent hood instead of the classic and traditional silver stainless option that you would typically see. Be sure to match your appliances to your kitchen hood to keep the kitchen uniform.
12. Compact Hood Vent Idea
In a very small kitchen or kitchen apartment, it can difficult to find a space large enough to fit a kitchen hood over your stove. If you have a very small kitchen, try adding a compact kitchen vent hood into your kitchen’s design.
Try selecting a kitchen hood that is 30 inches or smaller to recreate the compact design. They even make kitchen hoods as small as 24 inches for those very tight spaces.
13. Stained Kitchen Hood
Make a subtle statement in your all white kitchen by staining your kitchen hood! We adore this kitchen vent hood idea because they stained the hood perfectly to match the kitchen island. The stained effect warms up this all white kitchen and gives it a touch of farmhouse aesthetic.
14. Plaster Kitchen Hood
Plaster hood vents have become increasingly popular in 2025 and we are loving it! The plaster finish adds a different element of texture into your kitchen in a subtle way. We adore this kitchen design with its all white cabinetry to the ceiling, quartz countertops and reflective backsplash!
The best part of this kitchen design is the wood panels on the side of the kitchen island and the matching wooden floors and ceilings. This is an unexpected and easy way to incorporate those neutral, warmer tones into your home without making it feel too dark.
15. Painted Hood
Match your kitchen hood to your cabinetry color for a monochromatic look. This is the easiest way to make your kitchen’s vent hood blend into your kitchen’s design seamlessly.

By incorporating the stone in three different parts of the kitchen it makes it feel cohesive and flawless to the kitchen’s design.

Even with high, vaulted ceilings, it is possible to have a kitchen hood in your kitchen’s layout. Be bold with your hood’s design and paint it a fun color or make it blend into the ceiling by painting it white!
19. White and Wood Kitchen Design
White and wood kitchen designs have become very popular and we can totally understand why! You get the best of both worlds of both a light and dark kitchen design. By having both tones, you don’t fall into a specific trend, instead you have your own unique kitchen design.
