I'm hoping we will finally tackle our kitchen this year, so we're trying to figure out the details for this quirky space. We've never had any type of exhaust fan or vent over our stove, and that is something we would like for the future. There will not be a cabinet over our stove, so the under-the-cabinet or below the microwave fans won't work - or will they? Could one be attached to the ceiling?
It seems like these guys are the most commonly offered for free-standing ranges:

Our ceiling is only 8 feet high though, and I think this might be too long/high for the space. I want there to be enough clearance between the range and the hood. I'm also not sure we want to be this trendy and our appliances are white, so a big-ass stainless hood might look odd.
I was wondering about a bathroom-type fan, because that is what I would really like, no huge hunk of stainless thing, just the functionality of the exhaust fan itself. These all seem to be described as bathroom fans though, so I wonder if they would work in a kitchen, because it is my understanding that kitchen fans have special filters for grease, etc. that a bathroom fan would not have.
I would welcome any ideas or suggestions.
