An outdoor kitchen isn’t just a luxury—it’s a smart way to expand your living space and turn your backyard into a hub for entertainment and relaxation.
With the right design and features, an outdoor kitchen can make cooking more enjoyable, hosting more convenient, and outdoor living more stylish.
At Salas Outdoors, we specialize in creating beautiful, functional outdoor kitchens tailored to your home and lifestyle. In this guide, we’ll share expert tips on how to design the perfect outdoor kitchen—so you can cook, gather, and relax in your dream backyard space.
The location of your outdoor kitchen will determine its flow, convenience, and functionality.
We help homeowners select the ideal layout for their yard, whether it’s a built-in island near the patio or a freestanding structure with overhead cover.
Your kitchen should be more than just good-looking—it should be efficient and enjoyable to use.
Use the classic kitchen zones as a guide:
We often recommend an L-shaped or U-shaped design to keep everything within reach while maintaining enough space for movement and guests.
Outdoor kitchens must withstand sun, rain, temperature swings, and more. Choose materials built to last outdoors.
Salas Outdoors only uses top-quality, weather-resistant materials to ensure your kitchen looks great for years to come.
An outdoor kitchen should be fully functional—and that goes beyond just a grill.
We help homeowners select the appliances that match how they plan to cook and entertain.
Don’t forget lighting and electricity—they’re essential for safety, function, and ambiance.
We can install proper GFCI outlets, run electrical safely, and help integrate smart lighting solutions.
To make the most of your outdoor kitchen year-round, consider adding a cover or pergola.
Benefits of adding shelter:
From custom pergolas to attached roof extensions, Salas Outdoors can design shelter solutions that blend seamlessly with your home.
A great outdoor kitchen needs a place for people to gather and enjoy the food.
We design multi-functional layouts that combine cooking, dining, and relaxing in one cohesive space.
Your outdoor kitchen should feel like a natural extension of your home, not an afterthought.
Salas Outdoors will match the design, color palette, and materials of your outdoor kitchen to your house’s architecture and landscape, creating a polished, high-end look.
