Soft movement
A calm, low-contrast surface direction that lets the hood form and the kitchen materials carry the composition.
Custom Kitchen Hood Finishes / Metro Vancouver
Custom Plaster Range Hood Finishes in Vancouver
Hand-applied decorative plaster for suitable prepared custom kitchen hood surrounds—developed around the hood form, cabinetry, stone, colour palette, and the wider room.
The Architectural Result
Make the hood part of the room
A custom plaster range hood can read as a continuous architectural form rather than a separate appliance enclosure.
The decorative finish can bring softness, texture, and a project-specific colour direction to the surround while coordinating with cabinetry, backsplash material, countertops, and nearby walls. The goal is a resolved kitchen composition—not an isolated surface effect.

Finish Directions
Developed for the architecture
The finish direction should respond to the hood geometry and surrounding kitchen rather than begin with a fixed catalogue effect.
More visible texture
A tactile hand-applied finish with greater surface movement where the hood is intended to read as a stronger focal element.
Project-specific colour
A finish direction considered alongside cabinetry, stone, hardware, walls, lighting, and the room's overall palette.
Scope Boundary
Decorative finish, clearly defined
Stile di Leo provides the specialty decorative plaster finish for a suitable prepared hood surround. The surround itself, ventilation design, appliance, electrical, gas, structural work, and cabinetry are handled by the appropriate project trades.
Before plaster application
The hood surround should be built and prepared for the intended decorative finish. Stile di Leo can review photos, drawings, finish details, edges, and surface-readiness questions with the project team before application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a plaster hood finish
Can plaster or Venetian plaster be used on a kitchen hood surround?
Decorative plaster can be considered for a suitable, properly prepared custom hood surround. The construction, project conditions, and intended finish should be reviewed before the decorative finish scope is confirmed.
Can you finish an existing hood surround?
Possibly. Existing surrounds need to be reviewed for shape, surface condition, preparation, access, and compatibility with the intended decorative finish. Send clear photos for an initial assessment.
Does Stile di Leo build or install the hood?
No. Stile di Leo provides the decorative plaster finish scope. Hood fabrication, ventilation, electrical, gas, appliance installation, structural work, and cabinetry remain with the appropriate project trades.
Can you coordinate with our designer or cabinet maker?
Yes. Stile di Leo can coordinate the finish direction, samples where appropriate, colour, texture, detail transitions, and substrate-readiness questions with the designer, builder, or millwork team.
Can the finish match the cabinetry or surrounding walls?
The finish direction can be developed around the kitchen palette and nearby materials. Exact appearance depends on the selected colour, texture, application, lighting, and sample review where appropriate.
Who is responsible for preparation?
Responsibility depends on the project. The prepared surround and trade sequence should be clarified before work begins so the decorative finish has an appropriate, ready surface.
What affects the price?
Pricing depends on the prepared surround, surface condition, size, shape, edges, detailing, access, finish direction, sampling needs, and project coordination. Stile di Leo provides a project-specific quote after reviewing the available information.
How long does the work take?
Timing depends on scope, preparation, finish system, application sequence, and site scheduling. A project timeline can be discussed after the hood surround and finish direction are reviewed.
How should a plaster hood finish be cared for?
Care guidance depends on the selected finish and project conditions. Avoid assuming one maintenance approach applies to every decorative plaster surface; relevant guidance is provided for the completed finish.
