What colour cooker hood?

I'm in the process of buying a new cooker hood and cannot decide what colour would look best in my new kitchen. The cabinets are white gloss handless, the worktop is cosmic white granite, and the walks will be either Dulux polished pebble or Dulux Chic Shadow... Please could you give me some advice on what colour hood would look best in my new kitchen? Would white look best to blend in with the wall units? Would black look best and stand out along with the oven? Or is Stainless Steel the best option???? Please please help!

Ceiling cooker hood options
Comments (14)A venting hob like the Bora is the best solution, especially if you plan to use an induction hob. A ceiling extractor is discrete, but, if you enjoy cooking and making fumes, a ceiling extractor is not likely to work as well as a good ventilating hob. If you do speak to Westin, I think they will tell you that a ceiling extractor is not the best solution for cooks who like to make lots of vapours, especially with smokey cooking. A ceiling hob is usually too high to be effective for serious cooks, unless it has a very powerful motor and has a deep inclined baseplate, which does not help your issue. A venting hob can extract outside (with forward planning) or, in most cases, recirculate. The expense isn't that high given that you get a hob and extractor in one....See MoreHob to cooker hood distance dilemma - tall wall units!!
Comments (7)It's completely up to you and what you feel looks right. Obviously the closer the extraction the better it will work and 750 is the usual distance from the cooktop. However, if you prefer the higher bridging unit, that will be completely fine too as steam goes up! good luck Emily x...See Morecooker hood dilemma
Comments (9)If you do opt to have a chimney extractor, neff for example have chimney extensions of 750mm for taller ceilings for some of their extractors. The chimney can easily be cut to allow for the sloping ceiling by a competant kitchen installer, I've had to cut down many chimneys when I was an installer. Your kitchen designer should be able to advise you the different options you have though for your extractor and a high ceiling....See MoreWhich cooker hood looks best?
Comments (31)Thank you all so much. We have had months and months of conversation and research on this issue and I'm just so tired of it. Now we've paid the deposit for the kitchen and the builder is booked for the extension work to start we're feeling the pressure in terms of making decisions. You've all helped to encourage me to reconsider all options again with fresh eyes (we put the whole thing on hold for a coupld of months as we're unable to make a decision). The round chimney is my preference of the two and I prefer it to any other chimney style extractor. My overall preference would be a flush ceiling extractor but this is ultimately down to what the builder says and how this could fit alongside the beam. A venting hob is a compromise for us, which I'm sure we'd get used to very quickly as you always do once things are done. We have already designed the kitchen layout and planned where everything will go so it will take some thinking to lose the drawer/cupboard below the hob. It's exhausting going over and over the same pert of the project and never quite finding a conclusion we're happy with. But if certainly helps to have all your friendly people to talk it through with. Thanks again. Ruth...See Moreish_g
