When it comes down to kitchen design, backsplashes, sinks, countertops, and appliances seem to get all the attention. The kitchen hood is an unsung hero, though, as it does an important job. From wall-mounted, downdraft, and under-cabinet hoods to those suited for kitchen islands, we’ve compiled an extensive guide to help you pick one that perfectly suits your space.
