Custom kitchens aren’t limited to the inside of your home. Some of the most exciting Sydney new kitchen designs are used for alfresco kitchens. As an outdoor cooking and entertaining space, an alfresco kitchen elevates your lifestyle and offers more opportunities to gather with family and friends. Here are the top design tips and tricks to keep in mind when designing your dream alfresco cooking and dining space with Nobby Kitchens.

Ideal Location

Imagine opening the sliding glass door and stepping into an outdoor oasis where you can grill and dine in the fresh air. With this inspiration in mind, carefully consider the best spot for your alfresco kitchen. In a perfect world, your alfresco kitchen should be an extension of your home, so just off the main kitchen or living room is ideal. Of course, the larger your lot, the more options you will have! Just remember, access to water and gas is key for outdoor kitchens so they are safe and easy to use.

Must-Have Appliances

With contemporary designs leading the way, alfresco custom kitchens that mirror the indoor kitchen are in high demand. This means your alfresco kitchen should offer similar functionality to the primary kitchen. Outdoor kitchens typically include a sink, fridge, and barbecue, although many have more appliances to make the most of the space. It all depends on the size of your backyard and your budget. A six-burner barbecue can handle larger family gatherings, while a pizza oven, deep fryer, hotplate, smoker, or rangehood are other popular options. 

Low-Maintenance Materials

Engineered stone kitchen benchtops are considered one of the smartest investments for custom kitchens in your outdoor space, although there are many more options to consider. Granite or concrete benchtops and timber cabinets rated for outdoor use are also trendy. The key is to ensure your alfresco kitchen has proper cover to safely protect stainless steel or stone kitchen benchtops and appliances.
