Outdoor kitchens make entertaining guests’ fun and easy, but they are also an alternative living space for the family. There are four different layouts to consider for an outdoor kitchen:

Straight or linear outdoor kitchens

A good option for small spaces and at a lower cost, this layout is usually combined with a free-standing island or with a complementary outdoor dining table.

L-Shaped Outdoor Kitchens

This classic and popular shape can be designed for small and medium spaces and usually has a bar-height side and a cooking counter.

Parallel Outdoor Kitchens

A straight design coupled with an island bar in front

U-Shaped Outdoor Kitchen

This layout design works well in large outdoor kitchens and offers more space for preparing food and sitting on counters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a hood for my outdoor kitchen?

One question that comes up often is whether or not a grill hood is necessary. The answer isn’t as simple as saying yes or no. Factors like the level of enclosure, the type of roof, access to natural ventilation, and layout all come into play when deciding if a hood is needed.

If your grill is under a roof, it’s highly recommended to have a hood to ensure proper ventilation and prevent any safety risks from smoke buildup. Feel free to reach out to us to chat about your project location and whether a hood is a good idea for you.

What is the best location for an outdoor kitchen?

When selecting the right spot for your outdoor kitchen, it’s a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. This choice will have a significant impact on how you enjoy your backyard space. Before you settle on a location, take into account a variety of factors, even if you already have a deck or patio in mind.

Many homeowners choose to place their outdoor cooking area near the house, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. This proximity can provide shelter from the elements and shade, making your outdoor kitchen more comfortable. It also simplifies the installation of plumbing, electrical, and gas connections, making maintenance easier in the long run.

On the other hand, if you have a large backyard, placing the outdoor kitchen further from the house can offer a unique experience. Imagine cooking and relaxing by the pool, feeling like you’re at a luxurious resort. This setup allows for more design options and a more expansive outdoor kitchen layout.

Consider your lifestyle and preferences when deciding on the location of your outdoor kitchen. If you love grilling all year round, having it close to the house is essential for convenience. You wouldn’t want to trudge through snow just to cook a meal in the winter.

Keep practicality and ease of use in mind when choosing the perfect spot for your outdoor kitchen.

What type of outdoor kitchen layout do I need?

How you plan to use your outdoor kitchen should be the primary factor that determines how the layout is designed.

When planning your outdoor kitchen, it’s essential to think about how you’ll use the area to determine the best layout.

Consider what you truly need—whether it’s a space for food prep, storage, extra appliances, or a dining area. The placement of the grill is key to its functionality.

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can design a kitchen that enhances your outdoor experience.

For those working with a larger space and wanting a fully equipped kitchen, a U-shaped or L-shaped layout might be the way to go. These layouts provide ample counter and storage space, as well as room for appliances and a bigger grill.

Adding a bar area or island can also enhance the functionality of the space. On the other hand, if you’re on a tighter budget or have limited space, you can still create a charming outdoor cooking area with just a grill and a small amount of counter space.

The key is to tailor the layout to fit your specific needs and desires to create a functional and enjoyable outdoor space.
