It’s always great to come in on a Monday morning and find that one of our range hoods is featured in House Tour on Elle Decor, and featured in this morning’s email from Remodelista. We’re so happy to have had the opportunity to work with designer Tamara Magel on this project.
The finished range hood, which is made of blackened steel, is featured on Elle Decor Magazine’s website as part of their House Tour series. This photo series paints a great picture of how designer Tamara Magel created a minimalistic and modern aesthetic in this family home in Scarsdale, NY.
Brooks Custom blackened Steel range hood featured on Elle Decor in early 2016.
For most of the house, Magel went with a black and white color scheme, and used bronze accessories and decor to add color and warmth into the home. As elledecor.com states, Magel’s intention was to design a home that has an “an unfussy yet pol
To achieve this modern look, one of the most important elements was to have the the blackened finish be a true black to match the trim and the black granite countertops. Getting the color just right was important so that the range hood would fit in with the rest of the kitchen and provide a bold contrast against the white subway tiles and create a strong focal point in the kitchen.
We worked very closely with Tamara Magel and her team to find just the right black tone for the steel hood. This proved to be a somewhat arduous task since the concept of the color ‘black’ can be subjective. To make sure we had the proper color, we traded finish samples back and forth until we had confirmation and approval that we had the right one. This process can sometimes take more time than choosing a standard color or regular metal finish, but the end result is worth it.
This project is a great example of the versatility of our range hoods. We can make whatever design you need to fit your preferred aesthetic.
