Range hoods play an important role in any kitchen and are necessary in order to keep the air clean and fresh by removing the grease, smoke, and odors and releasing them outside your house. The most common kitchen design features the cooktop or stove area against one of the exterior walls and therefore the range hood would be situated above, secured flat against the wall. When it comes to island range hoods, however, the very nature of them being located above an island means that they are in the very center of the room, and are therefore a key and unavoidable part of the overall kitchen design. There are a number of things that you should consider to ensure that your island range hood fits well with the overall design of the kitchen.
