One popular trend places emphasis on building architectural interest by way of the range hood. A unique hood offers a great opportunity to combine functionality with aesthetics. ![Cranbrook Model - Birmingham_cropped.jpg](https://blog.ksikitchens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Range%20Hood/Cranbrook%20Model%20-%20Birmingham_cropped.jpg?width=862&height=1269&name=Cranbrook%20Model%20-%20Birmingham_cropped.jpg) Based on the size of your space and the desired aesthetic, you can play up the focal point’s dramatic effect. For those individuals that really want to ‘pack a punch’, try layering different textures along the range hood wall.  Combining a stone accent with a comparable tile backsplash can add a rustic touch, and frame in the space. ![Russo_02.jpg](https://blog.ksikitchens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Range%20Hood/Russo_02.jpg?width=862&height=1094&name=Russo_02.jpg) Create drama with a distinctive metal hood using copper, zinc or wrought iron. Select one that has rivets and banding to add flair and break up any monotony.  ![SDaubenmeyer_Traditional_Kitchen_Overview.jpg](https://blog.ksikitchens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Range%20Hood/SDaubenmeyer_Traditional_Kitchen_Overview.jpg?width=862&height=652&name=SDaubenmeyer_Traditional_Kitchen_Overview.jpg) Build out your custom hood with stacked molding, mantels and corbels. Use an accent color to offset your cabinetry or insert a picture frame decorative tile backsplash. This look allows you to complement your surrounding cabinetry while also placing emphasis on the range hood. ![BSchall_Transitional_Kitchen_Overview_A.jpg](https://blog.ksikitchens.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Range%20Hood/BSchall_Transitional_Kitchen_Overview_A.jpg?width=862&height=810&name=BSchall_Transitional_Kitchen_Overview_A.jpg) [Define your style](http://style.ksikitchens.com/) and determine how you’d focus on your range hood!
