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?

It is a common question we receive frequently: do I need a hood for my grill? The answer is not so straightforward, as there are many factors to consider.

The level of enclosure, the type of roof, access to natural ventilation, and layout all play a role in determining whether a hood is necessary.

Generally speaking, it is highly recommended to have a hood if your grill is located under a roof, as the smoke generated can pose a safety risk if not properly ventilated. Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific project location and whether a hood is needed.

What is the best location for an outdoor kitchen?

Deciding on the perfect spot for your outdoor kitchen is a crucial choice that will greatly impact your backyard living experience.

Consider various factors before settling on a location, even if you already have a deck or patio in mind. Many homeowners opt to place their outdoor cooking area near the house, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

This proximity offers shelter from the wind and potential shade, enhancing the overall comfort of your outdoor kitchen. Additionally, having the kitchen close to the house simplifies the installation of plumbing, electrical, and gas connections, making maintenance easier.

On the other hand, if you have a spacious backyard, placing the outdoor kitchen further from the house can provide a unique experience. Imagine a poolside cooking and lounging area that resembles a luxury resort, offering ample space for creative design options. This setup allows for a relaxing atmosphere and a more expansive outdoor kitchen design.

Consider your lifestyle and preferences when choosing the location of your outdoor kitchen. If you enjoy grilling year-round, proximity to the house becomes even more important. You would not want to trek through snow to reach your grill in the middle of winter!

Keep practicality and convenience in mind when deciding on 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 designing your outdoor kitchen, it is important to consider how you will use the space as the main determining factor for the layout.

Think about your needs:

do you require a spacious food prep area, ample storage space, or room for additional appliances and a sink?

Are you looking to create a dining area within the cooking space, and where should the grill be placed for optimal functionality?

By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a kitchen configuration that will enhance your overall outdoor experience.

For those with a larger area to work with and a desire for a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a U-shaped or L-shaped layout may be the ideal choice.

These designs offer plenty of counter and storage space in the food prep area, as well as room for a sink, appliances, and a larger grill. Consider incorporating a bar area into the countertop for guest seating or adding an island for additional work surface, storage, or a bar area. By tailoring the layout to your specific needs and desires, you can create a functional and enjoyable outdoor kitchen space.

What if you are working with a smaller budget, have a limited amount of space, or just are not looking to create a large outdoor kitchen? No worries, you can still create a beautiful outdoor cooking space with a nice grill and a modest amount of countertop space.
