Whether you are designing an entire new kitchen layout or upgrading your oven and hob, the cooker hood is often overlooked. Modern designs see us opt for sleek fixtures and appliances, and cooker hoods are thought to be bulky necessities that dominate the space rather than enhance it.
Well, times are changing.
With modern designs and technology, the cooker hood is evolving into a stylish and functional element that can elevate the aesthetic and convenience of any kitchen, whilst keeping your kitchen steam and odour free.
So let’s explore the different designs of Bosch’s sleek cooker hood range, and how they can seamlessly blend into a variety of kitchen styles and designs to enhance and elevate!
Rebranding the cooking hood
Traditionally they’re seen as a bit intrusive, often with large clunky designs that disrupt the clean, visual flow of a modern aesthetic.
But you don’t have to wait until you’re doing a full kitchen renovation to replace a cooker hood. There are plenty of stylish and contemporary designs available now that can completely transform your kitchen space.
Designed to not just remove unwanted odours and steam, an improved cooker hood could be the next appliance to complement and upgrade your kitchen.
Here are a few options to consider if you’re thinking about it:
Wall-mounted cooker hoods
Bosch’s wall-mounted hoods range come in a variety of models, including the premium Series 8 Incline Hood. Wall-mounted hoods are particularly sleek and can sit flush to the wall (more so than people would expect).
With a variety of finishes available, such as stainless steel, black, or silver, these hoods can complement kitchens with metallic accents or even country style. They also blend fantastically with a kitchen design that features chrome details such as drawer handles and light fixtures and could be a great way to create a more harmonious look. They come with some seriously innovative features too like the TouchSelect control so you can quickly control settings via touch.
Plus, you can have them kitted out with automatic control, adjustable lighting and extra quiet modes. This makes them not just a beautiful addition to your kitchen, but an extra functional one too.
Built-in cooker hoods
If you prefer a truly minimalist design, the built-in cooker hood could be the best solution since they integrate seamlessly into your cabinetry. The Series 6 Integrated Design Hood, for example, is what could be described as ‘invisible but not absent’. Take a look for yourself here.
Built-in hoods work well in smaller kitchens too, where it’s important to maintain an open and airy space. Since they are installed flush with the upper cabinets, they allow your kitchen to maintain a clean and uncluttered look, so are a great option if you’re going for a more seamless layout.
Quiet yet powerful – a perfect solution for open plan kitchens
Open plan kitchens continue to gain popularity with homeowners seeking spaces that are suitable for cooking, dining and socialising - all in one.
But in those types of settings, finding a cooker hood that does the job and isn’t too noisy can become a problem.
Which is why Bosch has a range of cooker hoods that are designed to operate at lower noise levels without compromising on power and functionality. Many of the Bosch cooker hoods are also Quiet Mark
Certified, so you can rest assured that you can enjoy a peaceful home.
So, you can continue to enjoy entertaining, watching TV, conversations, or listening to music without the background hum of a noisy hood.
They are not just practical but will also blend harmoniously into a range of different tastes and designs.
Modern cooker hoods can do much more than just remove smoke and odours; they can enhance the design and atmosphere of your kitchen. Bosch now offers a range of sleek, stylish, and technologically advanced hoods that can suit a variety of kitchen styles, from minimalist to bold and ‘moody’ - and everything in between.
