Low Profile Backyard Kitchen
This backyard kitchen is tucked along a wall so it doesn’t take up a lot of valuable space. The window over the sink breaks up the long wall and allows you to keep an eye on what’s going on in the yard! If space is your concern, this is a great option.

Light and Bright Backyard Kitchen
The choice of light-colored bricks makes this outdoor kitchen appear less clunky than it would if darker bricks had been used. Laying the floor paver bricks diagonally to the kitchen gives the area a more casual feel, whereas if the pavers ran the same way as the bricks, it would’ve look stuffy.

Impromptu Backyard Kitchen
Maybe you don’t have a lot of occasions when you’d want an outdoor kitchen, so why bother? One way to temporarily move food prep and cooking outside is to create a work surface (here it’s simply a board placed on top of a wood pile to form a workbench) and bring out your most-used cookware and utensils. When the party is over, pack up and head back inside.

Grillzebo Backyard Kitchen
What’s a grillzebo? It’s a sheltered space, similar to a gazebo, designed for grilling. You and your guests can relax in the shade while the food cooks; it’s a great option if you want to make sure your backyard is the right mixture of functional and social.

Seeking Shade Backyard Kitchen
If you don’t have any shade in your yard, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a outdoor kitchen. Multiple umbrellas keep the sun from beating down on guests seated along the countertop of this lovely kitchen. Look for umbrellas that can tilt and put them in portable stands so you can get the most out of them.
