OUR DIY WRAPPED EXHAUST HOOD

We are so happy with our wrapped exhaust hood! It is minimal, yet dramatic. We love that it is versatile - we could paint it any color, tile it, or wrap it in wood! We are enjoyed the matte black for now, but may install a tile like this when we are ready for a change! Our followers are often asking what material we used for our hood. It's just drywall! Today, we are sharing how we designed and created this piece.

After extensive research, I found this tutorial by Grit and Polish to be the best resource. If you are going to tackle a project like this, I certainly suggest you watch their tutorial. We used it as a general guide for our hood.
Here is the simple step by step guide. See photos below for further explanation.
  1. First, we demoed the space
  2. Next, we taped out our kitchen layout and began designing the hood. You can control the height, width, and depth of the hood (opposed to going with a pre-fab piece; we loved being able to customize the size). Our hood is is 32" wide (you will want to be at least the same width of your range, if not an inch or two larger). We went with 15" deep (shallower than most hoods. We like that this depth is less "bulky"), We installed our hood 28.5" above the range (Ty is 6'2" tall, so we went high to make the space feel comfortable for him).
  3. Our electrician added electricity behind where the future hood would be installed (you can see in photos below)
  4. We built the hood "frame" using wood 2x4s
  5. We covered the frame with sheet rock
  6. Next, our drywaller prepped the sheet rock for paint
  7. Next, we installed this insert (We love it! It comes with integrated lighting, which we use all the time!)
  8. Lastly, we painted this hood with a flat black interior paint (Benjamin Moore Black).

Hi there. I love the 'less bulky' look of your exhaust hood. It's definitely a stand-out feature! Could I ask you how your drywaller tackled the corners of the finished hood? Most DIY designs I've seen (including the ones used by Grit & Polish) nearly always seem to have corner trim down the sides, which I would like to avoid if possible. I'd be aiming for a more cohesive finished look.

Did you also use filler pieces inside the structure? The integrated exhaust insert we have will have a flue leading out the back wall. I'm really interested to find out how you tackled the install, so any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks muchly! Heather :)
