A comfortable outdoor kitchen should incorporate the following features and elements into the design:
- A well-defined cooking area with a gas grill, sink, refrigerator, and food preparation counter. Each of these should be large enough to cater to the usual number of guests you invite to your gatherings.
- Give your guests a place to sit and relax. Your outdoor kitchen should include plenty of seating and places to eat. Consider placing a bar counter top next to your food preparation area, and don’t forget to include a dining and/or coffee table or two.
- Pay attention to the design. Your outdoor kitchen should be an extension of your home’s overall aesthetic and design scheme.
