When starting a new kitchen design, we like to focus on a surprising element: the kitchen rangehood. Think about it, it is often the first thing you notice when you walk into a kitchen, right?
Today, a rangehood is more than just a practical appliance. It can be the feature that sets the style and mood for your entire kitchen. Whether you like a sleek, modern look or something bold and dramatic, the right rangehood can transform your space before you even notice the other details.
Helping customers choose their rangehood is one of the most enjoyable parts of designing a kitchen, since it often sets the tone for the whole space.
In the collection below, you’ll find kitchen rangehood ideas in a variety of shapes, colours, and materials. There’s everything from sophisticated marble to warm timber and sleek metal accents. Some designs include special touches, like decorative corbels or a tiled backsplash, to help create a kitchen feature that feels personal and unique.

In this classy country kitchen, timber is used as a thoughtful design detail to bring warmth and character to the space. The subtle timber trim along the bottom edge of the rangehood cabinetry adds a touch of charm, drawing the eye and highlighting the hood as a stylish focal point without overpowering the overall design.
Mantle-Style & Traditional Rangehoods
Curved Kitchen Hood Idea for Soft, Elegant Kitchens
In this kitchen, the curves mantale and surrounding cabinetry housing the rangehood is the standout of the space, adding a sense of elegance above the cooktop.

Stainless Steel Rangehood Designs
Stainless Steel Cooktop Hood for Modern Kitchens
In this bright, modern kitchen, a stainless steel canopy rangehood stands out above the cooktop. Its clean lines give the space a modern feel, and the steel finish pairs well with the white cabinets and timber accents. Floating shelves on each side frame the rangehood and add balance. The result is a kitchen that feels polished and stylish, with the rangehood as a true centerpiece.
Tip: When choosing a kitchen rangehood, consider factors like the size of your kitchen, your cooking habits, and the overall style you want to achieve. A larger space may need a more powerful range top vent hood or kitchen range exhaust to keep air clean. If you are a passionate home cook you might prioritize features designed for heavy daily use.
What Size Rangehood Should You Choose?
Choosing the right rangehood for your kitchen is about balancing style with performance. Australia does not have strict rules for exhaust airflow. A rangehood with 600 to 700 cubic meters per hour is usually enough for most kitchens. For heavy cooking, a rangehood with 800 to 1,200 + cubic meters per hour should be considered as a more suitable option.
Another important factor is the distance between your cooktop and the rangehood filters. To ensure optimal performance and compliance, it’s best to select your cooktop and rangehood together. Typical recommended distances are 650mm for gas cooktops from the highest point of the cooktop to the rangehood itself, 600mm for ceramic cooktops, and 650 – 750mm for induction cooktops.
