12 Outdoor Kitchens That’ll Get You Outside
Outdoor Kitchen Installation by Florida Coastal Contractors
Dreamy and downright drool-worthy, these outdoor kitchens are all the inspiration you need for a backyard reno.
While surfing through the internet looking for design inspiration we came across this great article that was originally posted on HGTV.com and wanted to share it with you. It was written by who is is a contributing writer for HGTV.com.
Allie writes… When designing an outdoor space, personalization is key. This is especially true for outdoor kitchens. Design with your preferences and lifestyle in mind to get the most out of your space. If you’d rather just order pizza, don’t install an outdoor pizza oven. If you’re a grill-master, opt for the tricked-out grilling station. You’ll be much more likely to get outside and use your space if it speaks to your culinary tendencies.
I’ve rounded up some of our best outdoor kitchen designs for inspiration. Take a look, and see which ideas work for you.

A fire pit adds a cozy element to an outdoor kitchen, making the space a destination as daylight dwindles.
Outdoor Fireplace

Similar to a fire pit, a outdoor fireplace lends a sense of comfort to an outdoor kitchen. Consider adding a fireplace if you’re aiming to bring the indoors out.

If you enjoy making homemade pizzas, this one’s for you. If you’re totally down with delivery (no judgment here!), skip this one.
Bar

Do you plan on crafting more cocktails than meals? Make the bar the focus of your outdoor kitchen.
Tricked-Out Grilling Station

Attention, grill-masters! This is your time to shine. The bells and whistles available for grilling stations are endless. Again, choose based on your tendencies and preferences.

The bar and grill combination is perfect for entertaining. Barstool seating creates a casual hangout spot for family and friends.

Also ideal for entertaining, the pool house and outdoor kitchen combination creates a space where adults and kids can simultaneously gather.

If your locale’s this lovely, let it do the talking. Design your outdoor kitchen to accentuate the view.
Pergola

Create shade with a beautiful pergola. A pergola also provides somewhere to mount light fixtures and fans.
Vent Hood

If your outdoor kitchen has a partial enclosure or roofed covering, it’s a good idea to install a hood to vent smoke and odors.
Dining Area

Carve out a dining space within your outdoor kitchen to make dining alfresco a breeze.
