If you love bold kitchen designs, you're going to fall head over heels for Alison Victoria's sparkling approach. As the designer on HGTV's Ugliest House in America, Victoria has unveiled some bold interiors throughout the series. She recently took to Instagram to share her latest reveal, where she turned an ugly home into a fun yet sophisticated space. The most eye-catching piece? A range hood designed to look like a disco ball.
Alison Victoria has tons of advice for creating charm in your space, and this bold centerpiece is undoubtedly one of her most charming additions. She transformed the Vermont kitchen with both traditional and contemporary touches. In her own words, she wrote on Instagram: "The latest Ugliest House in America transformation was chaotic, cozy, a little unhinged...and somehow turned into pure magic." The range hood was covered in small, mirrored mosaic tiles to create a disco ball-inspired effect. In contrast to the black cabinets and oven range, the silver finish reflects natural light, preventing the space from looking too moody.

How Alison Victoria made the disco range hood look chic
Alison Victoria wasn't afraid of mixing metals in this kitchen. Right next to the chrome-colored disco hood, two bronze sconces flank the sides. The black oven also includes brushed bronze dials, while the cabinets have black matte handles that disappear into the cabinetry itself. This renovation is proof that you don't need to stick to a single finish. Just make sure to avoid these mistakes if you are using mixed metal and gold features in your home.
The other key element that prevented the disco range hood from looking tacky was the traditional toile tile work. This is very similar to the Delft tiles trend, and the best way to use them is as a dynamic backsplash. While patterned tile might seem too loud with such a bold range hood, Victoria proved that this blend of funky and classic creates visual balance. Beyond a disco ball range hood, you can create a similar effect with a shiny chrome or antique mirrored finish.
