If your décor is craving some XIX-century feel that is also matching a rustic ambience, consider a copper vent hood with straps. Both metal straps and the rivets were originally used to join pieces of sheet metal and provide structural support to the range hood. Nowadays, with modern techniques, those elements are decorations only and can set a whole different tone to our custom-made copper appliances. A broad collection of hand-hammered copper range hoods provides various models that include decorative horizontal or vertical straps.

How do we embellish the extractor’s molding with these characteristic straps? Straps are flat vertical strips of metal welded onto the hood. Sometimes the straps come decorated with rivets places above. The rivets are small metal balls welded to the straps or apron for extra flair. They can be made of different metals & colors to give your copper hood a unique design. If you are looking for a subtle touch of metallic charm on your kitchen, we would recommend you keep it quite simple and choose a copper vent hood with straps made also from copper. You can also consider adding a farmhouse copper sink for a more cohesive look. Just order both items in similar patina finishing so they complement each other instead of creating contrasts. However, if you goal is to boost an eclectic and fun décor, you can easily obtain it by choosing aesthetically more complex model such as copper hood "Windsor" whose body is made of copper and straps from iron. Another idea could be to order a hammered texture for molding and polished, shiny copper for straps. It would create a contrasting statement décor in your kitchen.

Custom Metalwork in Mexico

Mexico was famous for its metal working since the Meso American period with metals such as gold, brass, silver and copper and although the Spaniards focused on mining gold and silver and shipping those precise metals to Spain, the copper became quickly one of the most popular metal to produce domestic items such as pots and pans that you can still find being sold on the local markets around the country. Nowadays, the center of the traditional work in Mexico is based in the state of Michoacan and this is where our workshop was established in 2002. We proudly continue the tradition of beautiful metal working that implies precision and a unique technique that converts products in a one of a kind work of art.

Quite the opposite to the mainstream trend, we think a rustic kitchen vent will always provide the comfort of your favorite dish prepared by your mum so forget about white cabinets, polished nickel hardware and impeccable marble counters.

On the other hand, though, there are many of us that love bridging the best of farmhouse and contemporary words. The real challenge is to find the ability to combine opposing vent design styles into one dynamic but coherent interior. When it comes to kitchens, you could go in two different directions: you could use old world architectural details of the room to set the stage for the few modern vanities or lofty layout to expose some innovative elements such as our hammered metal vent hood California style which will attract the attention of all guests and family.

Today, kitchen vent hoods are available in all shapes, sizes, and materials that can either draw the eye or blend right in with the surroundings. Some interior architects like an idea of experimenting with various materials when designing custom zinc vent hoods. The option that is not that so often explored is to cover a kitchen custom metal vent hood with wooden elements. It can be covering a lower hood apron to match any other furniture in the room. Think about decorating possibilities this gives you! If you wish to keep all of your kitchen design in similar colors, you can order a custom vent hood covered with antique wood that is painted in the same color as the counters.

If you are buying a metal vent hood with some wooden modification you want it probably to stand out. For that option, you should cover a part of the hood with the wood so the materials have equal importance in the ultimate effect. The metal shininess will bring warmth to your home and wood is such a great addition to a rustic kitchen extractor style. However, before taking the final decision, the homeowners have to select where to install the brand new metal vent hood. Obviously, it has to go where the stove will be placed but you can have it as a wall mount or above the island.

Each option offers you different shapes for the vent hood and as a consequence, diverse choices to customize your vent hood with wood. The key to incorporating woods with metals is getting colors to work together. This is all about a single tone that enhances another. Just about the only thing that won’t work is mixing warm and cool shades. As an example, if you are creating a chic, contemporary kitchen featuring white cabinets, use shiny metals instead of brushed or patina that could be a polished copper range hood from Mexico with some wooden parts in grey. We would be happy to hear your decorative ideas for your brand new custom-made vent hood and have it manufactured for you.
