In days gone by cooker hoods were little more than an afterthought when adding a new cooking appliance to the kitchen. There were fixed designs available and so cooker hoods came in one of two fashions – the canopy, or the chimney.

Today the range of cooker hoods is far more extensive. Materials employed to construct the product range from glass to stainless steel and their design may make or break the theme of your kitchen. The modest cooker hood may no longer be neglected, or left until the last minute.

Electrolux for example, sells a range of cooker hoods ranging from the inconspicuous to all-singing all-dancing, each of which would look the share in a stylish contemporary kitchen.

The stainless steel and glass cooker hoods meld seamlessly into a progressed cooking surroundings and come in a range of styles, with halogen lights, touch screen controls, indicator lights for grease and charcoal filter saturation.

What to look for when you’re choosing a cooker hood

Before you fall in love with a design make sure to measure the appliance. An oversized cooker hood will not fit whilst too little an appliance would look ridiculous in a big space.

Check whether the appliance is suitable for the size of your kitchen. Remember the necessary function of the cooker hood is to filter cooking smells and gases from the air. Retailers will ofttimes display the size of the kitchen the cooker hood model may cope with in their brochures.

Take into account the colour of your other appliances. A stainless steel hood over a white cooker won’t give your kitchen the sleek design you desire. Black kitchen appliances are “in” at the moment so do you need a black cooker hood to compliment your appliances. Additionally, if you are intending on replacing the cooker in the near future it is an idea to think in front – what colour do you expect your appliance will be? It may even be suitable to wait and change both at the same time.

Where will your cooker hood be located? This is an indispensable point to think with regards to if you’re planning on having an “island” style cooking station. Then your cooker hood will need to go in the centre of the room.
