Make your own cove for your extractor hood above the kitchen island, by Nico

Creative solution for the kitchen: build a cove yourself

Are you looking for a stylish and practical addition to your kitchen? Be inspired by Nico, who has designed and installed a beautiful cove for his extractor hood above the kitchen island with precision and attention to detail.

The construction of the cove

Nico's project starts with a solid wooden frame, carefully constructed to serve as a base for the cove. The wood for this frame is cut to size by TOSIZE.lu, ensuring a perfect fit. The structure is then covered with MDF Primed 18mm panels, giving the whole a seamless and smooth finish.

The unique design and choice of colours

The cove is cleverly designed with a minimalist and modern look. Nico has chosen a soft white colour that seamlessly matches the ceiling and the ambient colours of the kitchen. The cove has built-in LED lighting, which contributes to the ambience and functionality of the kitchen.

The kitchen island: the perfect match

The custom-made cove is positioned above the kitchen island, where it not only functions as a stylish extractor hood, but also contributes to the aesthetic cohesion of the space. It is a great example of how DIY projects can lead to tailor-made solutions that perfectly match specific wishes and styles.

The benefits of self-build

By choosing a self-build project, Nico has benefited from considerable flexibility in the dimensions and choice of materials, allowing him to tailor the cove to his personal needs and budget. Unlike standard solutions, this project shows how, with a little creativity and effort, you can add a unique and functional element to your home.

The stylish completion of the project

Nico's choice of straight lines and a uniform colour give the kitchen a modern and timeless look. The style harmonises with the rest of the kitchen, creating a sense of calm and spaciousness.

The advantages of MDF Primed 18 mm

The chosen wood type, MDF Primed 18 mm, is known for its durability and easy finishing. The primer ensures that Nico could paint directly without applying additional primer. This material is ideal for creating a smooth finish and is also easy to work with for the precision that was required in this project.
