When appliances are designed to <strong>fit<\/strong> seamlessly into cabinetry, the kitchen reads as one <strong>continuous<\/strong> surface rather than a collection of individual objects. This <strong>cohesion<\/strong> makes the space feel <strong>larger, calmer,<\/strong> and <strong>easier<\/strong> to navigate.

Often, they did so loudly. In the worst-case scenario, a lack of extraction leaves your whole house with a sort of smell like teen spirit and fried food. Historically, <strong>storage<\/strong> had to live <em>around<\/em> hoods, not <em>with<\/em> them.<\/p>\n<p>If your kitchen is small or you simply need more <strong>room,<\/strong> an integrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/inspiration\/decoration-and-trends\/why-choose-an-integrated-cooker-hood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hood<\/a> is one of those clever storage ideas for small kitchens that gives space back to you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Slim designs:<\/strong> Look for models with a low profile that fit better within standard cabinetry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hidden integration:<\/strong> Hide the hood inside a cabinet so you can add <strong>shelves<\/strong> around the ducting. Oils, spices, and small jars suddenly find a natural home right where you need them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Built-in storage:<\/strong> Some hood designs come with storage already integrated into the frame. When storage is part of the extractor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hsvSOo6zfnE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">itself,<\/a> like in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/product\/integra-gfi-96370-tos-bk_113100013\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Integra<\/a> series by Teka models, the result feels intentional rather than improvised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-139747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Campana_Integra_bajo_mueble.jpg\" alt=\"Integra by Teka integrated cooker hood in a white cabinet with open door\" width=\"700\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Campana_Integra_bajo_mueble.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Campana_Integra_bajo_mueble-480x299.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions or things you might be wondering<\/h2>\n<p>Rethinking your kitchen layout can be overwhelming. We\u2019ve collected some common questions to give you that extra push to start your project:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are these ideas only for tiny kitchens?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not at all. While especially useful in compact spaces, integrated solutions enhance larger kitchens by improving <strong>visual balance<\/strong> and workflow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is vertical storage better than just adding more cabinets?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vertical storage makes better use of wall height without overwhelming the room. Tall, well-proportioned <strong>storage<\/strong> often feels lighter than multiple horizontal cabinets stacked together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are compact ovens smaller on the inside?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most compact ovens are the same width as a <strong>standard<\/strong> oven (60 cm), but they are not as tall (45 cm). This means you can still use your normal baking trays. You lose some height, but you gain <strong>extra drawer space<\/strong> underneath for your pans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do &#8220;hood-in-hob&#8221; (downdraft) systems take up cupboard space?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">These systems remove the need for a <strong>big hood<\/strong> above your head, which is one of the best storage ideas for small kitchens. However, the motor is usually inside the cabinet below the hob. Modern designs are very thin, so you only lose a few centimetres at the back of your drawers.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\"><strong data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Is it hard to replace a compact appliance in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">No, it is quite easy. Most compact appliances use &#8220;standard&#8221; sizes. If you decide to buy a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/inspiration\/decoration-and-trends\/quick-guide-to-buy-a-new-oven-for-your-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oven<\/a> or microwave later, it should fit into the same space without any problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does an integrated extractor hood work as well as a traditional one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes. When properly designed, integrated extractor hoods meet the same <strong>performance<\/strong> standards as conventional models while offering much-needed additional <strong>functionality.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-139752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/New-Integra-hood-space.jpg\" alt=\"Open white cabinet over the hob where you can see part of the integrated hood and store space for dressing food and other cooking tools\" width=\"700\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/New-Integra-hood-space.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.teka.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/New-Integra-hood-space-480x299.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 700px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The space above your hob doesn\u2019t have to be wasted or purely functional.
