The box around the rangehood is a white poly finished section to match the joinery on the back wall. Using this material ensures that your eye continues on the same surface and material and makes the kitchen feel longer.

Regarding lighting, keep in mind that 99% of range hoods have lights, and it's important to match them to the overall lighting in the kitchen, to make sure that the cooking area illumination doesn't clash with the rest. Halogen, incandescent, fluorescent, and LED lights have different color spectrums, and you would not want to end up with, for example, cool-white LED lighting all around the room and a yellowish light from halogen lights on the range hood.

I had a similar situation in a house I moved into years ago. I did a quick fix of painting all of the walls, woodword and the cupboards the same shade of cream. Sounds a bit OTT but it really knocked back the cupboards, which in all honesty are not something you want to make a feature out of, and created a calmness to the whole space. In your case, I would go for an off white so that the gang plug wires, radiator pipes and covers hiding the wires for the extractor fan etc., are disguised as much as possible -- that will tie in with the palest of the tiles in the splash back, and then you will have a pretty basic colour scheme of a very place colour and the dark worktop, fireplace and floor, which will stand out more. I think you need more storage with doors -- that bookshelf isn't doing anything for the kitchen. If you could get something in there that could hide lots of clutter -- even if just something cheap from IKEA, that would help greatly. Or work something around the filing cabinet that you have? A huge cheap mirror over the fireplace would bounce some light around too. If you don't want to go for undercupboard lighting, and if you have enough plug points, how about some lamps on the worktop, especially at the FF end with a floor standing lamp at the end with the chair. For the table, I would go for a table cloth and reupholster the chairs if they are not to your taste. A new blind in a much fresher colour would be great. Depending on the colour of your filing cabinet (if you use it), I think a petrol blue could add a nice vintage vibe to the chimney breast, and make more of a feature of it. I would try and go down a vintage/slightly industrial route rather than country. You may have some stuff lurking around that you could use, once you have got the base colours right -- currently it just feels a little cluttered and a bit of a mish mash. Best of luck. Looking forward to seeing some after shots :)

I'm not sure on the extraction ratio but I couldn't live without a powerful, quiet range hood that vents outside. I think especially in a open plan kitchen, your going to want it as quiet as possible. My last one had the motor outside, mounted on the roof in the vent/chimney. It was so quiet and a pleasure to have on high if required. It was placed over neff induction hob.

Hi! We are looking for a builder to help us with a few elements of redecoration, and would love to hear any recommendations?

The things we want to do are: - Sand and revarnish floors a lighter colour - Repaint - Install wallpaper on 3x walls - Install a floating bookshelf - Install new kitchen doors, side panels, and handles - Install new kitchen appliances and remove old ones (oven, microwave, cook top, range hood) - Replace kitchen countertop - Install new splashback (glass or mirror, TBC) Thank you! Tom
