[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=EyeCandyOP][quote=Anonymous]EyeCandy- Your threads are my favorite!  Thank you.

We have a large ‘90s kitchen with a 6-burner stovetop on an island with a downdraft fan.  When we renovate, DH wants to put in an overhead vent.  I generally don’t like the way vents look over islands (they tend to break up the room).  The other option is to move the gas and water lines so we can relocate the new range to a wall (which would require that we move the sink and/fridge too) but I’m having a hard time convincing him to spend money on that since he cares more about function than form. Can you find photos of attractive vents over islands that don’t ruin the overall look of a kitchen?  My style is transitional.  Thanks!

You want to move the cooktop out of the island, but you want me to find pictures that don't support that?

For what it's worth, I don't think you're going to find professionally designed kitchens with the UFO-style exhaust coming down over the island. [/quote]

Thanks.  I’m going to work on convincing him to reconfigure so we can do a range against a wall.  I have seem some vent hoods over islands that look less bad than others but it’s generally not a great look. [/quote]

What about one of those vents that go in the ceiling like:
