Creve Coeur Outdoor Kitchen Contractor

Essential Design Elements of an Outdoor Kitchen

1. Grill Station (The Heart of the Kitchen)

A high-quality built-in grill is the centerpiece. Choose from gas, charcoal, or hybrid models, often with added features like rotisseries or side burners.

2. Countertops

Durable and weather-resistant surfaces like granite, concrete, or stone offer space for prep, serving, and entertaining.

3. Storage Cabinets

Built-in, weatherproof cabinetry made from stainless steel or composite materials keeps cooking tools and supplies safe and organized.

4. Sink & Faucet

Adding a sink increases convenience for food prep and clean-up. Include a faucet with a pull-down sprayer for added functionality.

5. Refrigerator or Beverage Center

A compact outdoor-rated fridge or cooler drawer makes it easy to store drinks, sides, and ingredients without running back inside.

6. Bar Seating & Dining Area

Incorporate a raised counter or nearby seating area for guests to gather and dine, creating a social cooking space.

7. Lighting

LED task lighting, under-counter lights, and ambient string or sconce lighting improve functionality and atmosphere after dark.

8. Overhead Structure (Pergola or Roof)

A pergola, awning, or pavilion provides shade and shelter, protecting your kitchen from the elements while adding style.

9. Flooring

Paver patios, stamped concrete, or natural stone create a safe, durable, and stylish base for your kitchen.

10. Fire Features or Heating

Consider integrating a fire pit, fireplace, or mounted heaters for warmth and ambiance on cool evenings.

Each outdoor kitchen should be tailored to your space, cooking style, and entertainment needs. At RWPS, we bring all these elements together for stunning, functional outdoor kitchens built to last.
