TOP TIPS FOR DESIGNING A BEAUTIFUL OUTDOOR KITCHEN
Gardens are increasingly being designed as true extensions of the home, with clients now frequently seeking dedicated outdoor living areas and fully equipped kitchens.
Creating a beautiful outdoor kitchen that can withstand the demands of the British climate requires careful planning and the use of high-quality components specifically engineered for outdoor use. When combined with a touch of design flair, the result is a space that is both practical and inspiring- an outdoor setting clients can enjoy for years to come.
Based at Cedar Nursery, Kitchen in the Garden share their top tips for designing a beautiful outdoor kitchen:
- Integrate with the wider garden design. Landscaping, paving and planting should work harmoniously to create a cohesive and inviting space.
- Consider positioning carefully. Ensure the outdoor kitchen complements the flow from the indoor space and does not obstruct natural light.
- Choose materials wisely. Stainless steel, natural stone and powder-coated aluminium weather well and look good over time.
- Prioritise groundwork. Good foundations that are planned in advance pay off. Poor drainage or uneven surfaces can compromise even the highest-quality installations.
- Think long-term with colour. Vibrant colours for outdoor kitchens are ontrend now, but more neutral tones might be a wiser long-term investment.
- Incorporate shelter. Features such as pergolas, retractable awnings or covered structures can significantly extend usability. Add heating, and the space can be enjoyed all year round.
