I’ve been thinking for some time it might be nice to have a piece of art hanging on the range hood cover we DIYed last year. It’s a large, 60″ wide hood that we added some slim, pencil trim to, but other than that it’s pretty simple. On one hand, I don’t think everything needs something on it. A place for eyes to rest in a room is welcomed, in my opinion.
However, I’ve been casually looking and gathering up all of my favorite pieces the last few weeks and now I’ve narrowed it down to six options, with the seventh option being leaving it bare.
Here they are in a gold-framed, GIF parade on the hood for you to get a visual.
one / two / three / four / five / six
As you can see, I am drawn to landscapes for this spot. Even five is an abstract landscape. They feel timeless and organic and like something I could happily look at every day. But I can’t hang all six! Weigh in with your favorite option in the comments below.

A Landscape is a lovely choice for that spot. I prefer 2 due to the pop of color it provides. #1 is my second choice. However I would prefer a larger (wider) picture to fill the width a bit more and feel more intentional for that spot. But I am all about using what you have. Another thought is to try 3 smaller pieces to fill that width.
I’m new to blogs and podcasts.. loving yours. Do you have a post in how you built your current vent a hood?
I love this! My vote is for #4 or 5. The black/gray/sepia tones go well with the colors you have in there already.
I adore art in unexpected places. I really like each piece you chose, but the second painting is especially nice close-up and from far away. Art on a large open white space will only enhance the look of an already beautiful kitchen!
