The Best Outdoor Kitchen Design Ideas 2024
Before we begin, it is essential to understand the meaning of the various terms used in this blog.
Modern refers to the present or recent times, as opposed to the distant past. Modern design began around 1950-60. It is all about minimalism and clean lines.
Today’s modern outdoor kitchens are all about refined lines. They are more geometric. Our FESFOC outdoor kitchens are the best examples of modern outdoor kitchens. They are perfect for spending wonderful moments with loved ones or guests in the open air.

How can you design a modern garden kitchen?
A modern outdoor kitchen is a summer kitchen. It incorporates the purest, most minimalist lines you’d find in the interior kitchens of luxury homes.
The challenge with this type of garden kitchen is to make them look impressive outdoors, while using materials that can withstand the elements.
Luxury indoor kitchens simply cannot stand up to the elements if placed outdoors.
Your outdoor furniture and summer kitchen must be made of AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel, no matter where you’re from, and even more so if you’re near the sea.
The design process for your type of outdoor furniture is longer and more labour-intensive than for traditional indoor kitchen furniture. It must be 100% resistant to the outdoor environment. While materials such as stainless steel may be more expensive than those used for indoor kitchens, they are totally suited to withstand outdoor weather conditions. This guarantees absolute resistance and durability over the long term.
Outdoor appliances and barbecues are designed with much higher firepower than those found in your indoor kitchens. Garden appliances require much more complex installations and ventilation systems.

How to select the colors of your garden kitchen?
The color scheme for your outdoor kitchen is one of the most important aspects of your design. There are three ways to choose the color of your outdoor kitchen:
Harmonious Colors
You can opt for a summer kitchen whose color will perfectly match that of your home. Match the color of your outdoor kitchen with the color of your window surrounds or give continuity to the color of your floor or exterior walls of your home to match the whole garden or terrace.
Unify the Colors of your Kitchens
You can also choose the color of your outdoor unit to match that of your indoor kitchen. Your worktop should be made of the same or similar material, and it must be designed to withstand the elements.
The fronts, sides and backs of your outdoor kitchen should be the same color as your indoor kitchen.
This is usually the case when indoor and outdoor kitchens are relatively close to each other. This will ensure your home’s decor is very graceful.
Protagonist Colors
The third option is to select a color that contrasts with that of your garden, terrace or house facade. This is the best way to make your outdoor kitchen the centerpiece of your outdoor space.
Another reason for doing this is that it’s often impossible to find colors or materials that match those already in your home. It’s a simple fact that when you try to combine colors that are similar but not identical, it usually doesn’t produce a good result.
Frequent Color Combination Mistakes
For instance, if you want to put aluminum and stainless steel side by side, we can tell you that this doesn’t provide a beautiful visual effect, even though they both have a grey color.
The reason for this is that they don’t have the same tonality, which means they don’t combine properly.
In these cases, choosing a color that predominates and stands out from the others is the best solution.

Colors that Always Match
I have shown you the three ways to choose the colors of your outdoor kitchen. I can now tell you that the colors that go perfectly and easily with all types of environments are always white and black.
When it comes to your exterior, always go for a matt finish as glossy ones will show the dust, dirt and raindrops more clearly.
Warm Colours
We will now introduce you to warm and cool colours. This will help you choose the perfect combination for your home, combining with the colour scheme of your walls, floor, furniture and more. This is important because it’s what you’ll find in most homes.
Warm colours contain red, such as brown, cream or beige.
Cool Colours
Cool colors contain blue, such as grays (although there is a range of grays that can be warm because they have a tendency to brown).
The key to mixing colours is to use colours from the same chromatic range. If you have warm colours in your house, such as cream-coloured floors, bronze-coloured window frames, brown-coloured furniture, etc., and you want to make an outdoor kitchen, we advise you not to make it gray.

Match Colours in your Home with Style
It simply won’t combine well with these different colours. If you want to create a summer kitchen, you’ll need to choose a colour from the warm colour range.
The same applies if you have a cool-coloured home, with grey walls and floors, for example. If you’re placing furniture such as tables, chairs, sofas around your outdoor kitchen, choose a colour that falls within the same tone range.
Our Fesfoc Design Office can help. We’ll work with you to select the perfect colour and finish for your terrace or garden design. We’ll make sure that the colours you choose will elevate your outdoor space to the next level.
What appliances are best for garden kitchens?
Cutting edge technology is essential for ensuring that your outdoor kitchen is fully functional and made with the best machinery that today’s manufacturing technology allows. Appliances must be high-performance and durable.
Your choice of appliances for your summer kitchen is the key to its success. Choose quality appliances and you’ll have more cooking possibilities and it’ll be easier to prepare your favourite dishes.
And don’t forget that this is an outdoor setting. Your outdoor appliances must be able to withstand the various elements.
Your cabling, connections and materials must be able to withstand moisture, rain, sunlight (UV rays), dust and so on. Choose devices with an IP67 rating or higher, as offered by Fesfoc.
Lightning for Garden Kitchens
Furthermore, lighting is essential for your outdoor kitchen, ensuring you can enjoy it even when the sun has gone down.
Outdoor lighting is the way to go. It’s the perfect way to illuminate your outdoor cooking station or set the mood in your entertaining areas. For more information, contact the Fesfoc team for the best advice.
