Today’s range hood usually falls into one of two camps; it's either a wallflower or the showpiece.

Here, we’ll show you some of our favorite showstoppers, with a few more subtle looks thrown in for good measure.

Anik Pearson’s ship-shape kitchen design utilizes heavy-duty stainless steel touches throughout, even on such details as cabinet pulls, frames, and hinges. It’s no wonder she chose a stainless steel hood from Vent-a-Hood that effortlessly blends right in, hiding in plain sight.

Sometimes it’s best if the range hood plays double duty, in this case as an overhead light. Best by Broan has developed the Sorpresa Sphera, a hood and light fixture in one. The design lacks the usual industrial trappings, and its svelte profile makes it a shoe-in for ultra sleek kitchens.
