Outdoor kitchen ideas
Outdoor kitchens can enhance the value of a property, while also providing a perfect space for entertainment. Therefore, when designing these spaces, you need to consider both aesthetics and functionality. Your first consideration needs to be which premium materials you will use. These options must be able to withstand outdoor climates and heat, while also being easy to clean and maintain.
In this article, we provide inspiration for flooring, backsplashes and ideas for outdoor cooking areas, focusing on those tile finishes that will ensure longevity when it comes to wear and tear.
Outdoor kitchen designs: which elements to consider
The first step for your outdoor cooking area is finding the right materials for flooring. You need to consider which options can withstand heavy foot traffic and outdoor conditions. Also, your countertops will need to be easy to clean and maintain. Large format outdoor porcelain tiles offer several outdoor kitchen designs to choose from for kitchen floors, walls, backsplashes and worktops, and thanks to their easy installation, they are top choices to create contemporary spaces.
How to organize outdoor kitchen spaces
Once you have decided which outdoor kitchen styles you will be using, it’s time to consider your layout. Your outdoor kitchen area will have a certain logical flow of foot traffic, which means when you position your working spaces, sinks and dining tables and chairs, there needs to be enough room to move. Also, kitchen islands with built-in storage space will ensure that you keep your countertops clutter-free and tidy. Your kitchen will have daily sun exposure, so consider effective shading to protect surfaces from sun damage.

When considering backyard kitchen ideas, you must carefully plan how you will position your kitchen backsplashes, and which materials you will likely use. Your kitchen will need the right protection to ensure that spills do not end up on your floor or even your lawn or deck. Consider large format porcelain tiles that have fewer grout lines and are easier to clean – they are available in several colors and designs and can be perfectly matched with your flooring and wall coverings.
