A swoon-worthy <a href="http://lacornue.com/en-ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">La Cornue</a> range needs a hood that can keep up with it, and this black and stainless-steel style fits the bill. The dramatic black delineates the cooking area in the mostly white kitchen and its industrial quality gives it a high-performance look that is welcoming and reassuring. <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/home-tours/photos/step-inside-a-character-filled-home-brimming-with-antique-treasures-1906299" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tour the entire home here</a>.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresIn Black and White

Range hoods don't have to be a focal point, and if you're seeking a less conspicuous treatment, let this one be your guide. Kitted with the same Shaker-style facade as the cabinets, it has seamless appeal (and works with any style of cabinetry). <a href="http://www.greatcanadianhomes.ca/photos/glam-coastal-west-coast-home-1905597/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">See here for the full tour.</a>Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresShake(r) and Bake

Blue Note

Use the range to introduce colour into your kitchen. This one, designed by <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/shows/fixer-upper/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Fixer Upper</em></a>'s Joanna Gaines, is presented in a beautiful shade of cerulean, so it's on trend now, yet still has a timeless, classic feel. The bold blue of the island's base is a nice nod to the hue without being matchy. Both provide a cool counterpoint to the warm wood accents. <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/shows/fixer-upper/photos/the-most-memorable-kitchens-by-chip-and-joanna-gaines-1904498" rel="noopener" target="_blank">See here for Joanna's most memorable kitchen designs</a>.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresBlue Note

Joanna Gaines upends the notion that hoods need to have a straight edge. This hood's curved treatment is an energetic foil to the straight lines of the subway tiles and the Shaker-style cabinetry. She smartly echoed this subtle treatment in the pasta tap's marble backsplash.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresCurves Ahead

We all know how much Sarah Richardson loves colour, so it's no surprise she incorporated it into the kitchen of her off-the-grid home. We love the insets on the hood and island and how they can be easily painted a new shade if desired. <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/shows/sarah-off-the-grid/photos/sarah-brings-a-small-space-to-life-with-an-earthy-palette-and-textural-touches-1906494" rel="noopener" target="_blank">See here for the full home reveal</a>.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresColour Block

Wood You?

Leave it to the Property Brothers to think outside the box. While clad in unexpected wood, this hood is anything but rustic. In fact, it's almost sophisticated when paired with luxurious marble-look walls and countertops. Drew and Scott got the balance just right, and we love the way they played it up with simple wooden accessories. <a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/shows/property-brothers/photos/this-modern-rustic-home-is-an-outdoor-lovers-dream-1897042/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tour the rest of this outdoor-inspired space here</a>.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresWood You?

This white hood, with simple trim, works especially well with the white uppers and lets the space remain grounded by the dark lower cabinets and island's base.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresWhite Now

Nail-head details aren't just for upholstered furniture. The finish of this dramatic burnished iron hood makes it a focal point. It shares the space nicely with other bold accents, like the Wolf range's signature red knobs and the drawers' pewter pulls. <a href="http://www.greatcanadianhomes.ca/photos/stylish-rustic-family-home-1902570" rel="noopener" target="_blank">See here for the grand tour</a>.Kitchens15 Range Hood Design Ideas That are Anything but EyesoresNailed It
