Outdoor kitchens are ideal for houses with a larger outside area or garden space. It is a great idea for people who prefer to spend time outside and enjoy having barbecues often. 

Outdoor kitchens come in many different shapes and sizes, and can be fitted into various outdoor spaces such as the garden, balcony or poolside. We hope you find the outdoor kitchen design best suited for your house or apartment by browsing through this ideabook. 

Stone oven outdoor kitchen

There's no doubt that food cooked using firewood just tastes a whole lot better, so why not integrate a stone oven into the outdoor kitchen? There's plenty of space to store the firewood, and it can even double up as a fireplace, creating a warm, cozy atmosphere in the garden. 

Imagine all the wonderful evenings you can enjoy in the garden with this charming little rustic outdoor kitchen designed by Design Outdoors Limited. 

Barbecue party!

If you're a fan of barbecue parties and love hosting them at your house, then investing in an outdoor kitchen might just be the best idea of the year for your home. 

This outdoor kitchen comes fitted with a huge barbecue grill as well as a stove, a sink area, and all the other kitchen essentials placed adjacent to each other; making it more convenient and practical to host barbecue parties, cook, and dine outside. 

Outdoor kitchen in the garden

An outdoor kitchen can make a lot of difference in a home. You may find yourself feeling more motivated to cook just because you get to spend time outside in the garden and be surrounded by greenery while cooking. 

This outdoor kitchen even comes with an extra kitchen cabinet space where you can place a few potted herbal plants that will supplement your recipes. Or why not go all the way out and plant a whole vegetable garden which you can have easy access to from your outdoor kitchen?

An outdoor kitchen can mean a healthier lifestyle for you and your family. 

Outdoor kitchen and dining area

This outdoor kitchen comes complete with plenty of storage space for cutlery, crockery, and firewood. It also has a fairly large dining area that is perfect for entertaining guests and hosting parties. 

The pale wooden benches and chairs have a whiff of Scandinavian style to them and compliment the dark grey kitchen cabinets nicely.

Outdoor kitchen with pergola

If you're considering having an outdoor kitchen, you may want to take into account that a shaded area may be necessary in order to make the outdoor kitchen more comfortable. 

This outdoor kitchen island is shaded by a gorgeous rustic wooden pergola which looks great and compliments the rustic designs of the kitchen island. If the pergola does not provide enough shade on its own, some light drapes or cloth can be used over the pergola to create extra shade and also make the kitchen a little fancier at the same time.
