Outdoor Kitchen Design Layout Ideas

Layout: Very simple and straightforward, this design typically features a gas BBQ, with some worktop space either side.

Size: Normally for smaller gardens and spaces.

Grillo Designer’s thoughts: “Having worktop space around a built-in BBQ is really a basic design principle, and makes cooking outdoors a lot more practical. Sometimes I feel a straight run can lack character, so I like to turn them into an L shape where possible!”

Layout: This design typically features a BBQ, with some worktop space on either side, plus an L shape return on either end.

Size: Very versatile, normally room for additional appliances.

Grillo Designer’s thoughts: “A personal favourite, an L shape adds some lovely character to the overall design, and takes a straight run into something else. The ability to add in a bar seating return turns the area from a ‘bbq area’ into a full socialising zone, where friends and guests can get closer to the cooking experience.”

Layout: BBQ on one side, barstools opposite.

Size: Small to medium.

Grillo Designer’s thoughts: “An incredibly versatile kitchen design, this is all about bringing guests closer to the food. If you are keen on entertaining your guests, socializing whilst cooking, look no further!”

Layout: For larger homes and gardens where space isn’t an issue. Great for incorporating bar seating, multiple BBQs with plenty of space for food prep and storage.

Size: Large
