Whether big or small, outdoor kitchen ideas can bring all the hardworking elements of an indoor cooking space to your deck or patio.
Utilize outdoor appliances, lighting, storage, seating, and other amenities to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while you whip up a meal.
Use these practical and beautiful tips to equip your backyard with everything you need to cook, dine, and entertain in style.
DIY Outdoor Kitchen

A long counter adds plenty of seating and prep space to this DIY outdoor kitchen bar.
The budget-friendly design was created using recycled wood and salvaged cinder blocks, which were painted to achieve a gray patinaed look.
Colorful containers dress up the space and visually link the outdoor kitchen with the rest of the garden.
Large Outdoor Entertaining Area

This outdoor kitchen and entertainment area provide plenty of space to spread out.
The cooking zone offers a spacious countertop that can serve as a buffet area, while the outdoor dining table offers seating for eight.
After dinner, guests can relax around the stone firepit and toast marshmallows.
Outdoor Pizza Oven
:strip_icc():format(webp)/outdoor-brick-pizza-oven-8dOpNY2k496AxHISCfIHDl-27bc0ec453a04feaab275af540a32d47.jpg "50 Outdoor Kitchen Designs to Ignite Your Culinary Passion 4")
Add a pizza oven to your patio to take your summer parties to the next level.
This outdoor kitchen feature can be a pricey upgrade, but it might be worth the investment if homemade pizza is often on the menu.
Use an extra-long pizza paddle to maintain a safe distance from the heat as you cook.
Outdoor Kitchen Lighting
:strip_icc():format(webp)/outdoor-kitchen-3Xay_fbo4QW838gY3dURSw-1f257093976548e6bedaf1328f06bd7f.jpg "50 Outdoor Kitchen Designs to Ignite Your Culinary Passion 5")
You’ll need to plan for varying light levels to maximize the hours you can spend using—and enjoying—your outdoor kitchen.
During the afternoon’s heat, a patio umbrella placed over the seating area (away from the cooking zone) can offer protection from harsh sunlight.
After the sun goes down, overhead fixtures and other task lighting can extend the usability of your grilling and eating spaces into the night.
Just make sure all light fixtures are rated for outdoor use.
Outdoor Kitchen Layout Ideas
:strip_icc():format(webp)/porch-grilling-bar-area-D-D6k92B4yE9merJ6A4zYv-e0fa7c3131504895baebfe4b9fed5bb4.jpg "50 Outdoor Kitchen Designs to Ignite Your Culinary Passion 6")
If you plan to use your outdoor kitchen for entertaining, plan the layout with guests in mind.
Create different zones for cooking, prep work, and serving to facilitate a smooth flow.
Provide seating near the cooking area, such as barstools at a peninsula, so guests can relax and chat with the chef before the meal.
Mini Outdoor Appliances
:strip_icc():format(webp)/outdoor-grilling-kitchen-area-5Ukl18u24iO9JmGf96G194-751ff53ce36f43c1a8ccfa0bcb838e02.jpg "50 Outdoor Kitchen Designs to Ignite Your Culinary Passion 7")
Most outdoor kitchens don’t need to store food and beverages for a week—just for a meal.
So instead of full-size appliances, select affordable, small-space models that use less energy and take up a fraction of the square footage.
If space permits, consider storing basic condiments in your outdoor kitchen, so you don’t need to haul ingredients from inside for every occasion.
Sheltered Small Outdoor Kitchen Ideas
:strip_icc():format(webp)/outdoor-seating-dining-area-couch-1194fe09-1cd0f0a3fea94ed2beeafb3bf67b122c.jpg "50 Outdoor Kitchen Designs to Ignite Your Culinary Passion 8")
Rain, wind, and extra-sunny days can hamper your enjoyment of an outdoor kitchen.
Make the most of your grilling-and-dining area by adding shelter above your kitchen or seating space.
A roof overhang, as used here, is one option; other small outdoor kitchen ideas for overhead covering include a pergola or an outdoor umbrella.
Double-Grill Fireplace
