Add a Poolside Outdoor Kitchen for Year-Round Inspiration

There's nothing like a cold drink and a delicious meal by the pool on a hot summer day. But why limit yourself to enjoying your backyard pool only during the warmer months? With an outdoor poolside kitchen, you can enjoy your backyard all year long!

When it comes to outdoor kitchens, there are endless possibilities. But one of the most popular designs is the "L-shaped" island. This island type features outdoor kitchen cabinets, leathered granite countertops, and a TRL 38" stainless steel grill from Summerset Grills. Plus, it has a 2-drawer refrigerator to keep things chilled. The longer leg of the island typically features a bar with enough seating for at least five people. This is the perfect spot for entertaining guests or enjoying a family meal.

Another great feature of an L-shaped island is that you can customize it to your needs. For example, if you entertain often, you may want to add an extra sink or prep area. Or, if you have a large family, you may want to add additional storage space or an extra burner for cooking. The sky's the limit!

When it comes to color schemes, many people choose dark, muted colors for their outdoor kitchen cabinets. This is because dark colors tend to be more forgiving regarding dirt and grime. Plus, they can help make your outdoor kitchen feel more like an extension of your indoor kitchen. Dark green cabinets are an excellent option for an outdoor kitchen because they provide contrast against the lighter colors of stone or tile countertops. And they can also help make your pool area feel more vibrant and alive.

Outdoor kitchens are becoming increasingly popular, and it's easy to see why. They're the perfect place to entertain guests or enjoy a quiet family meal. And with an outdoor kitchen by the pool, you can enjoy the beauty of nature and the convenience of your own home.
