Many modern patio concepts incorporate fully equipped outdoor kitchens. The stainless steel appliances and range hood and simple white bench-style table and seats make this patio an entire outdoor kitchen. Cook the entire meal outside during hot summer months.
Now this is REALLY melding the outdoors and indoors. Love this space and how accommodating it is to pleasant cross-seasonal outdoor fun. Think of a cozy fall brunch...
Technically outdoors. Or technically indoors? This beautiful simple patio captures the best of both worlds. What a wonderful option when the need to a fresh working space calls one afternoon.
3. Double your cooking space. This outdoor kitchen has a complete setup for food service, with a wet bar, an outdoor cooking range and a beautiful outdoor dining room. I love to add in a little herb garden — what I call a bartender's garden — near the barbecue for fresh seasonings.
