Few materials in the kitchen command the level of attention that brass does. It’s sleek, luxurious, and has an unmistakable finish that is also very versatile. Adding brass to your kitchen can instantly elevate the room’s style, especially when there is a custom brass range hood as the center of attention.
We found five amazing custom brass hoods in kitchens you just have to see to believe:
1. A Premium Brass Hood for a Premium Kitchen
This kitchen range hood has gorgeous curves and a sleek profile, which is perfect for a kitchen like this. The brass kitchen hood is the central focal point of the room, but it’s not the only brass feature. In a kitchen where the main color is white, every little detail must be carefully chosen.
In this case, you’ll notice that the island faucet is also brass, mirroring the same smooth finish of the hood. There are two more places you will see brass, too – the drawer pulls, knobs, and handles of the cabinetry and the gold swirls of the white stone counters and the backsplash behind the range.
Having small details that are purposefully added to complement the main feature is an interior design tactic that pulls the entire space together. Since brass and white are classically considered colors of luxury, they work perfectly here.
The luxury of the space draws your attention to the gorgeous range, which is also highlighted by crisp white lights shining down from the custom brass range hood.
Speaking of lights, the crystal chandeliers instantly upgrade the space and are equally spaced above the island. While they do provide some artificial lighting, most of the light is provided by the recessed lights in the ceiling. Recessed lighting is an ideal way to add brightness to a space without hindering the view or making the room look cluttered.
A nice touch in this kitchen is the addition of lighted upper cabinets on either side of the brass range hood. This softer light delivers a pleasant contrast to the stark white found everywhere else in the room.
2. European Brass Elegance Front and Center
The hammered brilliance of this custom brass range hood is, without a doubt, the perfect match for this amazing range. The range’s bezels, knobs, trim, and oven handles are all brass, but there’s more.
A closer look will reveal the brass on the item on the counter to the left of the stove, and the turn crank handle for the window is also brass. Finally, the lid of the stunning blue tea kettle jumps on the brass bandwagon, too.
One of the most classically beautiful color combinations in interior design (or anything, for that matter) is the pairing of gold and blue. Often considered an elegant and traditional pairing, the duo has decorated palaces and manors across the globe for thousands of years. This kitchen proves that this classic combination is still as affluent as ever.
The straight, clean lines of the window trim, cabinetry, and edge of the counter contrast perfectly with the rounded blue designs on the wall tiles. Mixing contemporary features with traditional ones can be tricky; if it’s not done right, the kitchen can end up looking like a hot mess.
The trick is to make sure everything is paired with at least one other thing color-wise. For example, here, the white range pairs with the white counters, cabinetry, walls, and window trim. The brass, as discussed, is prevalent in several items in the space, and the blue of the wall is paired with that pretty blue tea kettle.
One final bit of perfect contrast happens between the blue patterned wall and the cabinets. The wall is busy and colorful, while the white cabinets are just the opposite. It all comes together in a crisp, bright, inviting room that is full of contrasts that still complement each other. The custom brass range hood is the piece that brings it all together.
3. Crisp Whites and Earthy Tones
One of the most popular recent design trends is using neutrals and earthy tones in the kitchen. This trend is evident here in this beautiful room with an almost entirely white space that is balanced by a much-darker island and a custom brass range hood. It’s a prime example of another popular kitchen design trend – unexpected contrasts – that is gorgeous here.
This kitchen is an excellent space that is full of additional contrasts, too. The wood flooring has a much lighter finish than the wood of the island, and at first, it might appear to be out of place. A closer look reveals that on the counter, there is a cutting board and a knife block that both feature the same lighter-colored wood.
Another pairing that works beautifully here involves the gorgeous brass custom range hood, which is the focal point of the room. The rivets and straps have a polished bright brass finish, which is also featured on the handles and knobs of the cabinetry.
At first, it might seem like the stainless steel range is out of place, but if you look closer, you’ll see that it, too, is paired with something – another stainless steel appliance to the right.
When different features throughout a space have at least one quality that is present in all of them, it ties them all together. This creates a kitchen that looks purposefully done and aesthetically perfect.
With that being said, it’s also a good idea to have one central focal point in the room, which is just one of the many reasons why a custom brass range hood is such an outstanding addition.
4. Modern Design Meets Tradition with This Brass Hood
With linear sloped angles, sharp, clean lines, and an apron decorated with striking rivets and trim, this modern custom brass range hood sets the stage for a fascinating blend of traditional and contemporary design in this kitchen.
One of the most popular kitchen design trends this year is not only mixing and matching colors but also mixing different textures. Notice that there are several different textures in this space – a smooth one for the cabinetry, counter, and range, a different one for the gorgeous white wall, and still another texture for the hood with brass details.
Using a variety of textures doesn’t always work, so be careful. If you’re planning on doing a kitchen remodel and are looking for design ideas, keep in mind that with textures, a little subtlety goes a long way. Choose one large texture to be the “main” one that people notice first, then jazz it up with a smaller, secondary texture.
In this kitchen, the larger primary texture is the one on the white wall, and the secondary one is the hammered texture of the custom brass range hood. The idea behind adding textures like these, even subtle ones, is to add visual interest to a space.
The fact that the white wall has a gorgeous pattern is impressive in its own right, but when you pair it with the modern range hood in this deep brass color, consider visual interest piqued.
By the way, if you look closely, you’ll notice that the white ceiling is also textured, and the chandelier that is almost out of frame looks like it closely matches the finish of the custom range hood.
5. The Appeal of the Unexpected
Kitchen design trends these days are terrific because, really, in the grand scheme of things, almost anything goes. There aren’t more than a few standard “rules.” By sticking to a few valuable tips, you can successfully add all of your favorite features to your new kitchen.
One kitchen trend that may be one of the most fun and enjoyable is adding “the unexpected” – unexpected colors, pairings, and contrasts. Although we don’t see a wide view of the room, this kitchen is loaded with unexpected additions.
First, we’ll start with the extraordinary premium range hood with a brass finish. This is quite a bit different than the smooth stainless steel finish of the gas cooktop below it. What the beautiful large hood does match is the general color of the cabinets that are on either side of it.
The different finishes of the range and range hood are unexpected. However, it works for a few different reasons. The cabinet colors match the hood, and the handles on those cabinets are the same brass finish as the hood straps.
It’s also a fairly good assumption to say that out of frame are additional appliances that are stainless steel to match the range cooktop.
In all this talk of contrasts, there is also a really nice example of keeping the flow of one color present throughout the room. That color is white. By keeping the “background” of the wall, counter, and lower cabinets white, fluidity is created, making the custom brass range hood really stand out.
To make up for the “lack of contrast” or color in the wall, the high-gloss subway tiles do the job of adding visual interest instead.

Clean your range hood frequently, avoid using abrasive cleaning products and harsh chemicals and clean the filter regularly.
