Outdoor Kitchens That Sizzle

This outdoor kitchen was inspired by the architecture and home's interior. A steel arbor covers the outdoor kitchen, making it feel as though it's indoors. The barbecue unit features a smart storage drawer/door combo beneath, a double side burner, sink and a 24" under-counter refrigerator so you have everything you need right next to the pool. The expansive Arctic White Quartzia countertops allow for ample space for food prep, as well as a great surface for setting out a buffet. Design by Randy Angell

Every inch of space in this backyard was utilized and separated into different areas for entertaining or relaxing. The outdoor living room area is complete with an eating area, fireplace and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen island alone features a sink with storage underneath, a two-drawer beverage refrigerator and a pullout trash bin. Designer Randy Angell installed granite countertops that extend past the island to provide a bar area with seating for three. The cooking area houses a stainless steel grill, a warming drawer, a storage drawer, a side-burner unit and a 24" under-counter refrigerator that makes it easy to entertain. Hadrian stone squares with synthetic grass separators provides a pathway, and custom-made Mexican lanterns creates a nice ambiance at night.

This tiki-style outdoor kitchen designed by Scott Cohen is surrounded by bamboo pole lighting, which gives the space a tropical feel. The kitchen island is made of natural stone, while the countertop is made of concrete. Fiber-optic lighting enhances the party atmosphere.
