Summer kitchen: 15 outdoor kitchens for inspiration © Leroy Merlin
Ideal for enjoying its terrace and receiving guests in the garden, the outdoor kitchen is as well equipped as a traditional kitchen. The proof in pictures with these 15 examples full of tips.
Do you already have a barbecue or a plancha in your garden, and you love hosting your loved ones in summer? Why not take it to the next level, and convert your terrace into a real outdoor kitchen ? This trend confirms the affection of the French for outdoor activities, in particular cooking and convivial meals in the grass.
But, with an outdoor kitchen, we are far from having a picnic on the checkered tablecloth. Sink, oven, worktop, storage, sometimes even fridge and integrated fryer, the equipment is complete and the comfort as important as in a traditional kitchen. The cooker, on the other hand, is most often replaced by a barbecue, a plancha, a wood oven or any other outdoor cooking method.
On the design side, as in a traditional kitchen, all styles are allowed: wood, new or old stone, brick, stainless steel, etc. However, we will verify that the material can withstand inclement weather if the kitchen is not protected by a covered terrace or a pergola. A large table and chairs will complete the layout.
Finally, some important points are to be expected: a good surface to be fitted out (around ten square meters at least), a water supply if the kitchen has a sink, and an electrical connection for household appliances and lighting if necessary. .
