In Plain Sight
Remember when vent hoods used
to be statement pieces? Stainless
steel protruding from the ceiling
to whisk away the scent and smoke
of your dinner? Forget it. is year,
try integrating your hood into the
rest of your kitchen by hiding it
behind cabinets or the same material
your backsplash is made of. Hiding
the hood won't take away from its
effectiveness, but it will allow your
other (smart, matte) appliances to take
center stage. One popular option? Use
reclaimed wood or shiplap to encase
the vent, and suddenly you've crossed
two kitchen trends off the list.
