The kitchen chimney has now become a must-have in urban Indian homes. It is efficient in expelling kitchen pollutants such as smoke, steam, heat, cooking odours and airborne droplets of grease. Take a look at these kitchens that pay special attention to the finish, colour, design and position of the kitchen chimney so that it can enhance the overall look of the kitchen’s decor.
