A Kitchen Makeover for the New Year: Why Homeowners Are Choosing Custom Metal Hoods

The start of a new year brings a sense of renewal—fresh goals, new routines, and for many homeowners, the excitement of transforming their living spaces. And where does that inspiration often begin? The kitchen. As families gather for holiday dinners and New Year celebrations, they realize how much time is spent in this one space.
It’s no surprise that custom metal range hoods have become one of the most popular upgrades for the new year. They combine functionality, design, and craftsmanship in a way that standard, mass-produced hoods simply can’t.

Meet Olivia from Chicago: A Kitchen Full of Color and Character

Olivia’s kitchen is a vibrant, cheerful space: creamy white cabinets, a soft gray stove, and a brick-patterned backsplash. She wanted her range hood to tie the colors together while standing out as a centerpiece.

After exploring options, she selected a antique copper hood with hand-hammered arched apron. The hood didn’t just complete her kitchen—it gave the entire room a sense of warmth and personality.

“It’s been one year since we remodeled our kitchen and installed this range hood. Beyond being a lovely focal point, the sturdiness and quality of the hood as well as the powerful vent far exceeded our expectations!

The customer service was outstanding from the get-go. RHM confirmed or responded to every email within hours, sending photos as they were creating this piece of art. It arrived well within their promised timeframe, securely packed and in perfect condition. Thank you, RangehoodMaster, for your attention to detail and a very pleasant buying experience!”— Fran

Stories like Fran’s show why homeowners are increasingly moving away from standard, off-the-shelf options. A custom hood is tailored to your space, your style, and your life.

Why Custom Metal Hoods Are Worth It

True Personalization

Every kitchen is unique, and so should be every hood. With custom metal hoods, homeowners can choose:

Material: stainless steel, copper, brass, or zinc

Finish: brushed, polished, non-directional, hammered, or antiqued

Size & installation method: wall-mounted, island, or custom dimensions

Decorative touches: straps, rivets, or apron pattern

This level of personalization allows your hood to reflect your kitchen’s personality and your design vision.

Craftsmanship That Lasts

Unlike mass-produced hoods, custom metal hoods are handcrafted from start to finish. Each piece is:

Hand-cut and shaped

Hand-welded and polished

Carefully inspected for fit and finish

The result is a durable, long-lasting piece that improves with age, especially in materials like copper, which develops a warm, natural patina over time.
