I had intended for it to stand, but since the project is getting harder, we thought, please share your thoughts and design sense with me!

I would match the table’s stain if it were simple to do so, but tone and staining it would be difficult because the wood grains are so dissimilar.

You have warm cream-colored cabinets, neutral white walls, and a cool-toned wood and stone backsplash. I dunno. as well as mixed metals. It’s just not as melodic. However, I prefer elements separately.

Don’t have a recommendation and am sure it’ll be perfect either way but wanted to mention that your kitchen is wonderful. How is the stone backsplash maintained?

@Cabby I’m grateful. It’s fantastic! In actuality, there isn’t much splatter. It’s the first thing we painted with chalk paint recently.

Since you can sand and paint it if you don’t like it, I would stain it first because it’s more difficult to undo paint.

Apply a mid-gray paint job.

If you’re unsure about whether to paint it or keep it natural, here are a few design thoughts:

  1. Natural Wood Finish: If you want a rustic or Scandinavian touch, you could leave the hood in its natural wood state and protect it with a clear matte or satin finish. This would bring warmth and a natural texture that complements the earthy tones in the wooden island and stone backsplash.
  2. Painted Range Hood: Painting the hood in a color that ties in with the cabinets or the surrounding design could create a cohesive look. You could go for a light shade to blend it in with the cabinetry or choose a contrasting color (like dark blue if you’re exploring navy) to make it a focal point.
  3. Blending or Highlighting: If you’re going for harmony, painting the hood in the same tone as the cabinets will allow the natural textures (like the stone backsplash) to stand out. On the other hand, highlighting the hood in a bold or deep color, like a charcoal or navy, can create a statement piece.
