If cooking at home makes you feel exhausted during the summer heat, head out to the refreshing terrace! Stop using unattractive removable plastic chairs and tables in your garden, and remember that you deserve a stylish area where you can have a fixed barbecue as well as a comfortable relaxation spot.

Built-in outdoor kitchens are a very unique kind of space: a cooking area set up or linked to the terrace, a patio, a veranda, and even a garden. With the design of outdoor grills, we can transform the kitchen into an outdoor dining area, complete with an outdoor sink and all the tools needed to enjoy a lovely day outside.

If you are interested in rustic outdoor barbecues or their more contemporary versions, or if you want outdoor furniture for your barbecue, you’ve come to the right place.

Let’s explore all you need, in three steps:

1. Why do you need an outdoor terrace?

A good veranda provides you with a built-in kitchen equipped with everything you need for a relaxing day with your loved ones: grill, barbecue, table, bar counter, oven, refrigerator, sink, and a roof that offers shade. For instance, a type of pergola that allows some light while also providing shade. Let’s examine each of these features in detail.

Heater

Do not mix up barbecue with grill. The grill always has a cover and can be used like an oven. They usually come with a thermometer to help maintain the temperature. If you lack the space to set one up, portable variations work very well.

Grill

A grill is a built-in grill without a cover. It can be combined in a structure with a wood oven, grill, and sink, for instance made from concrete, mortar, and exposed brick, which are the materials used for this multifunctional design.

Stove with plates

Some outdoor kitchens are so complete that they include a gourmet counter and a griddle to cook or keep grilled dishes warm. This area is, of course, the perfect space to welcome guests in true style.

Rest and relaxation area

No outdoor kitchen is finished without a place to sit and have easygoing conversations. A tastefully decorated outdoor patio includes chairs, lounge chairs, a solid table, and even a unique rustic rug, similar to the one in this wonderful example.

Outdoor sink

If we plan to cook, it’s important to have running water and a work sink nearby. Additionally, next to the outdoor sink, we should enjoy a clean area for preparing food.

Storage area

Even if we don’t cook on the terrace every day, we need outdoor furniture to store not just milk and grill lighter, but also kitchen tools, spices, and other items that we don’t want to keep bringing out of the house.

Sun protection

If you have a terrace or large terrace, add a pergola or a large umbrella that will allow you to prolong lively conversations with friends in the heat of a summer day.

If you can afford to have a terrace with generous space, an outdoor kitchen doesn’t get any better than a swimming pool. Regardless of whether it’s for work or portable, taking a bath after lunch is a real quality of life.

2. What style of outdoor kitchen suits you?

When designing your outdoor or mixed kitchen, open onto the terrace, consider what style you want to give it. An investment in design will help you choose furniture that is resistant and durable to outdoor weather conditions.

Rustic barbecue

A simple and rustic kitchen is ideal for turning your weekend with friends into an absolutely perfect memory. All you need are partition walls, a sink, a roof, a tiled roof and little else. A builder can advise you on how to tailor-make your rustic kitchen.

Latest generation outdoor kitchen

If you like modern and minimalist design, today there are outdoor kitchens made of concrete or metal grills with very elegant finishes. Furthermore, it is possible to include a dining area and a relaxation space typical of chill out.

Small urban outdoor kitchen

If you have an urban kitchen with a small terrace, there are options for you. All you need is a built-in grill or small portable grill, a tiled sink area, and cabinetry with storage space. Modern and very functional.

Large outdoor kitchen for the modern country house

If you live in a large, modern villa with space, plan a design that combines the inside and the outside, visually connecting the internal kitchen area and its external extension. For example, opening the kitchen onto a covered terrace with a transparent sliding door.

3. Consider all conditions before installing an outdoor kitchen

Finally, do not install an outdoor kitchen without taking into account a number of important conditions regarding appliances, electrical and water systems. In other words, try to maintain a distance from the barbecue to the house, so that the stove burners are not exposed to outside wind and the refrigerator does not receive direct sunlight. This is a topic that any expert in grill and appliance installation can inform you about.
