The Outdoor Kitchen can be more intergraded into the overall design of your backyard. For most people, it only the grill that adjacent to the fence. In other words, it in an isolated area. A few reasons may be to contain the smoke offset from the grill, and it can be an eyesore when not in use. Well, we are going to change all that with these 12 essentials items listed below. Outdoor Kitchens contains more than a grill.
MOOD BOARD: INSPIRATION
We created a Mood Board to help you visualize this space come to life!
① CAPTAIN TEAK BAR CHAIR W/ ARM
When creating your backyard, experience it about comfortability with luxury. This captain chair is an excellent addition with a custom-built bar. We suggest you have a highchair with a footrest bar and arms. The goal is to relax. After all, you are the Captain of your backyard! \
② MONARCH 25" NESTING TABLE – GRAY
They are hundreds of different options when it comes to a nesting table. We suggest a metal frame and wood top surface finish. Sometimes having a nesting table helps with those random moments when you have a plate in your hand, and you need to be hands-free but don't want to throw the plate away yet. Most Nesting Tables are for interior use; make sure the metal frame you select is corrosion resistant.
③ FERNANDO DE NORONHA CHAIR – RED
Comfort meeting luxury! We love everything about this chair! The design brings that elegance touch and feels like a one of a kind design. Fernando de Noronha chair pairs nicely with the Monarch Nesting Table as well (Item #2). We would select a red seat cushion as the finished look.
④ EMERALD RAIN REFRESH - EXTERIOR COAT
No matter what paint color you pick, you must protect it. So, we are recommending this product Emerald Rain Refresh as your finish coat. Mainly because of its ultra-durable exterior coating with Self-Cleaning Technology™. Once the coating is applied and rains, any dirt will wash away, leaving a refreshed look. Also, minimal maintenance is needed, protecting UV and your paint from fading and staining onto any nearby items.
⑤ COLOR THEME - REAL RED SW 6868
For this layout, we choose a simple color theme with accent color Real Red. This color palette is a natural extraction of the landscape. Greys – can be found in concrete, stainless steel. Greens – grass, plants, and trees. Reds –The accent color for the gravitation pull effect—color pop to help centralized focus.
⑥ FORMICA 4 FT. X 8 FT. LAMINATE SHEET
This Marble Laminate is a beauty, a great contrast, and help balance the red. Also, on a sunny day, these white countertops will remain cool. Keep in mind any direct contact with hot pots/pan, be sure to have an insulated hot pad or metal cooling rack to place on top.
⑦ NEWAGE 65711 | GROVE 2-PIECE SET
Wood Oak Base cabinet set is crucial to your selection. Mainly for storage and food preparation. To upgrade and set your Outdoor Kitchen apart apply, a custom color of Real Red finish. This set can have a faucet and sink built in. (Stainless Steel to match the grill – see item #8). Once you consult with your local plumber, having an outdoor sink can make the Outdoor Kitchen a very functional area.
⑧ MONUMENT STAINLESS STEEL GAS GRILL
I have not done a ton of research on the best grills (maybe in a future post). I suggest this Monument Grill because it is stainless steel. Which will stand-out with the accent red. I love how it shines on a hot, sunny day. It also features 6-burner liquid propane with a one-side burner, Rotisserie Burner, and an integrated smoker box. Make your second plate because of all these cooking options, because I don't think there will be any leftovers.
⑨ PERGOLA
To top off the Outdoor Kitchen Space, we finish off with a custom-built pergola. The base footing is an anchor on the Countertop and through the base cabinets for extra support. Concept design is semi-shaded wood strips, along with Tuscan-based molding finishes can later be decorated with vines and flowers. A pergola helps frames your outdoor view of your landscape. Talk about a viewpoint inside a view.
⑩ NATURAL SLATE 11.8-IN SQUARE DECK
Now for the floor design, we are going with a natural slate deck tile. These tiles are easy installation, so if you are DIY, this is a product for you. We love Slate because it's clean looking, durable, natural, and comfortable to walk on. Also, you can mix and match due to its interlocking system.
①① PAVER LIGHT LED
This item is not on everyone's radar. People tend to design for the day. The Party does not end because the sun went down. If anything Party goes to the next level. You have comfortable seating, food, and a view. The paver lights will bring out the ambiance and relax mood. As well, the Moonlighting creating a safe and well-lit area during the night.
