Range Hoods
Custom range hoods that become part of the design
In many kitchens, the range or cooktop occupies one of the most visible walls in the room, making the area above it an opportunity to create something more interesting than a standard exposed ventilation appliance. A custom range hood surround integrates the ventilation system into the architecture of the kitchen while coordinating with surrounding cabinetry.
Depending on the design, your hood can blend closely with the cabinets or intentionally contrast with them. Universal Factory Direct offers access to several hood design directions, including Straight Hood, Custom Hood, Euro Hood, Farm Hood, Signature Hood, Artisan Hood, and Floating Shelf options. For current styles, colors, sizing, and availability, explore our ROC Cabinetry Styles & Colors page or contact our design team.

Floating Shelves
Kitchen floating shelves that add warmth and openness
Floating shelves add warmth, openness, and practical display space to a kitchen while breaking up long stretches of upper cabinetry. They can hold everyday dishes and glassware, decorative bowls, cookbooks, plants, coffee station items, and barware, and are often positioned beside a range hood, above countertop work areas, near a coffee bar, or on an accent wall.
One of the most popular arrangements places floating shelves on one or both sides of a custom range hood, creating symmetry while allowing the hood to remain the central architectural feature and letting backsplash materials stay visible. This works especially well with white shaker cabinets and natural wood shelves, painted cabinetry with contrasting wood shelves, and modern kitchens with minimal upper cabinetry.
Coordinate
Plan the hood, shelves, countertops & backsplash together
The cooking wall contains several major visual elements, so each selection affects the others. A dramatic full-height stone or patterned tile backsplash may pair best with a simpler hood and shelving design, while a quieter backsplash provides the perfect backdrop for a more detailed hood. Countertops also influence the overall color palette.
The decorative hood surround is only one part of a complete range hood system. Before finalizing the surround, appliance width, ventilation specifications, required clearances, ducting, and ceiling conditions should be known. Providing appliance and ventilation specifications early in the kitchen design process allows the cabinetry and hood surround to be planned around the equipment.
