From rustic outdoor kitchens to sleek contemporary schemes, decor is a welcome addition to any alfresco setting. Remember to consider how well your chosen decor will endure the natural elements – unless you have a covered outdoor kitchen, you may need to ensure you have sufficient storage space to protect your decor throughout the colder months.
Introduce Statement Lanterns
Embellishing an outdoor kitchen with decor that adds style and function ensures the space doesn't begin to feel cluttered. A great option is decorative outdoor lighting – they illuminate the space in the evenings while adding visual appeal.
Create a border with planters
The natural decor for an outdoor kitchen is flowers and greenery. Helping your outdoor kitchen blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, plants will add colour and privacy to your space.
Outdoor kitchen decor should be organic to the setting. Why not border your outdoor kitchen with big planters to highlight any surrounding greenery.
Layer Baskets and Trays
Adding the final details to your outdoor kitchen design doesn't need to be all functional. Take cues from your interiors to bring personality and unique style to your outdoor kitchen – think about your favourite decor items and how they can be translated outside.
Why not decorate an outdoor kitchen with materials and finishes that accent the design aesthetic of the outdoor space, then layer on with baskets or trays that are great for bringing items from inside to the outdoor kitchen. Trays and baskets can also be moved easily if placed near the cooking area for prep and grilling and then moved to a nearby table or seating area for serving.
Add Patterned Tiles
Outdoor kitchen decor can be designed into the bones of the scheme. With even more need for watertight materials, a tile adds colour, pattern, and plenty of functional elements, too.
This style of outdoor kitchen decor works particularly well in this space thanks to the all-white scheme, however, it can work just as well in a more colourful outdoor kitchen with the right pattern and colour choices.
Introduce a pop of colour
Adding a decorative touch to an outdoor kitchen is simpler than you might expect. It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking every element has to be durable and practical, but you can add purely decorative features, too.
Adding a splash of colour can completely transform your outdoor kitchen's overall look and feel. Choose outdoor kitchen colours that feel right in the natural environment and work cohesively with your home's exterior.
