Design Your Dream Outdoor Kitchen with Kitchens by Alliance

Brisbane’s climate practically begs for it, a seamless extension of your indoor living space that transforms your backyard into an entertainer’s paradise. Here at Kitchens by Alliance, we understand the attraction of the outdoor kitchen. After all, what’s better than whipping up a delicious meal while soaking up the Queensland sunshine and enjoying the company of loved ones?

But where do you begin? Designing an outdoor kitchen can feel overwhelming, especially with so many factors to consider. This blog will help you create the perfect outdoor kitchen for your home, tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

Step 1: Assess Your Space and Needs

Before diving headfirst into design ideas, take a good look at your backyard. How much space do you have available? Is it a dedicated entertaining area, or will the kitchen integrate with an existing patio or deck? Who will be using the kitchen most often? Answering these questions will help determine the size and layout of your outdoor kitchen.

Step 2: Prioritise Functionality

An outdoor kitchen is an investment, so prioritise functionality. Do you envision yourself primarily grilling burgers and sausages, or do you dream of elaborate culinary creations? Consider the appliances you’ll use most frequently. A built-in barbecue is a must-have for most, but will you also need a sink, cooktop, or even a pizza oven? Planning your layout around these key appliances will ensure a smooth and efficient workflow when cooking outdoors.

Step 3: Embrace the Brisbane Weather

Brisbane’s great weather allows for year-round outdoor entertaining, but it’s important to factor in the elements. Choose durable materials that can withstand the sun, rain, and humidity. Stainless steel benchtops are a popular choice for their resistance to rust and ease of cleaning. For cabinetry, consider weatherproof options like marine-grade ply or composite materials. An awning or patio cover can offer additional protection from the elements, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor kitchen rain or shine.

Step 4: Style Matters

Now for the fun part, personalising your outdoor kitchen to reflect your style! Do you prefer a sleek and modern aesthetic, a rustic and charming vibe, or something in between? Kitchens by Alliance offers a wide range of design options to suit your taste. For a modern look, consider clean lines, sleek finishes like stainless steel or concrete, and integrated appliances. If rustic charm is more your style, natural stone benchtops, timber cabinetry, and exposed brickwork can create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Step 5: Storage Solutions

No kitchen is complete without adequate storage. Incorporate drawers and cabinets to keep your utensils, crockery, and cookware organised and readily accessible. Open shelving can showcase your favourite cookbooks or decorative items. Don’t forget under-bench storage for larger items like gas canisters or cleaning supplies.

Step 6: The Finishing Touches

Once the core elements are in place, elevate your outdoor kitchen with thoughtful finishing touches. Strategic lighting creates a warm ambience and allows for evening entertaining. Comfortable seating ensures your guests can relax and enjoy the space. Adding pops of colour through plants, cushions, or artwork can further personalise your outdoor haven.
