1. Origins and Essence of Spanish Style

The design of Spanish-style kitchen hoods traces its roots to traditional Andalusian and Castilian haciendas. Characterized by simple lines and sturdy volumes, this style combines rustic elements with subtle ornamental touches:

• Architectural elements: cornices, moldings, and friezes reminiscent of wooden beams and archways in rural Spanish homes.
• Handcrafted textures: hammered copper surfaces create a play of light and shadow, enriching the space.
• Decorative motifs: discreet floral or geometric patterns inspired by Iberian ceramics and wrought ironwork.

2. Popular Shapes and Silhouettes

2.1 Bell-Tower Silhouette

Inspired by Spanish church towers and bell towers, this design features a cylindrical body that flares into a conical top—perfect for open kitchens with high ceilings.

2.2 Rectangular Hood with Cornice

A cubic volume capped by decorative moldings along the top perimeter. Its clean, sober profile highlights the copper’s natural patina and works well in kitchens with linear, modern designs.

2.3 Spanish Hacienda Hood

The emblematic Spanish Hacienda model reflects the imposing features of traditional hacienda windows. The main body finishes with a wide cornice and a subtle front overhang that adds character. View this design at MyRustica’s Spanish Hacienda copper hood.

3. Patinas and Handcrafted Finishes

Copper is a living metal that evolves over time. In Spanish-style hoods, finishes aim to highlight warmth and uniqueness:

• Aged natural patina: allows the copper to oxidize naturally, producing green and deep brown tones.
• Soft wax finish: seals the patina and provides a satin sheen with beeswax.
• Hammered texture: enhances scratch resistance and emphasizes the handcrafted artisan look.
• Metal contrasts: wrought iron straps or bronze rivets reinforce the rustic appeal.

4. Customization and Made-to-Order Options

One of the main advantages of Spanish-style copper hoods is the ability to tailor every detail to your kitchen:

• Dimensions: standard sizes or fully custom widths from 24" to 72" to fit your space.
• Ventilation system: recirculating or ducted, depending on your home’s layout.
• Ornamental details: additional moldings, custom friezes, and decorative bands all handcrafted and welded by hand.
• Material combinations: pair copper with reclaimed wood or natural stone for striking contrast.

5. Installation and Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and preserve the beauty of your copper hood, follow these tips:

• Professional installation: secure the hood with reinforced mounts; solid copper can be heavy.
• Routine cleaning: wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Patina protection: apply a clear wax once or twice a year to maintain the original finish.
• Filter and duct care: clean or replace metal or charcoal filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
