Some of the most important factors when deciding on the material of your outdoor kitchen cabinets are durability, attractiveness, longevity, and ease of maintenance. To put it simply, you want to choose beautiful outdoor kitchen cabinet materials that will last a long time in the outdoors, will be easy to care for, and will provide the best return on investment. In this article, we compare two common outdoor kitchen cabinet materials – plastic and stainless steel – and discuss how stainless steel is the best option. Brown Jordan® Outdoor Kitchens™ manufactures 304 and 316 grade stainless steel outdoor kitchens that can be powder coated in a variety of colors, offering you a lifetime of effortless maintenance and sophisticated beauty for your outdoor living space.

Plastic Outdoor Kitchen Design

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and other plastics are common for outdoor furniture because plastic does not rust, corrode, or rot in the outdoors. Plastic is also popular in the outdoors because it is available in many colors and does not need to be painted. Although plastic can be used to construct outdoor kitchens, it has several maintenance considerations and integrity concerns when used outdoors and near heat. With HDPE outdoor cabinets, the color can fade due to sunlight exposure, and environmental changes can cause plastic cabinet boxes to warp and crack so they will no longer function as intended. Since plastic will melt when exposed to heat, plastic grill cabinets will require a stainless steel firebox.

Stainless Steel Outdoor Kitchen Design

Although stainless steel can rust due to the iron content, the presence of chromium acts as a rust deterrent. The most common grades of stainless steel for outdoor kitchen cabinetry are 304 and 316 (marine) grades, with 316 offering additional corrosion resistance. When exposed to the outdoors, however, bare stainless steel cabinetry needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly to avoid rust and stains. A highly recommended option is to add a powder coat finish, which will reduce maintenance to a bare minimum and offer a beautiful, long-lasting finish to your outdoor cabinetry. Stainless steel is highly durable overall, as it will not crack, warp, or dent during typical use in the outdoors, making it ideal for use in outdoor kitchens.

Stainless Steel is the Best Option for Outdoor Kitchens

By comparing plastic with stainless steel, you can easily determine which material is preferable for outdoor kitchen cabinetry. Stainless steel cabinetry is durable and will provide the best return on investment. While plastic is relatively inexpensive, the need for replacement in the outdoors means the costs will add up over time. By contrast, the stainless steel cabinets manufactured by Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens will maintain structural integrity in the outdoors for the life of your outdoor kitchen area.

Both plastic and powder coated stainless steel cabinets require maintenance in the outdoors, which involves regular cleaning with mild soap and water. While plastic does not need to be painted or repainted, the finish can fade over time when exposed to sunlight. Unlike plastic, the stainless steel cabinetry manufactured by Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens can be powder coated with UV resistant finishes that require very limited maintenance, and the color will not lose integrity when exposed to sunlight and the weather.

Stainless steel is the best material for outdoor kitchen cabinets due to its durability, structural integrity in the outdoors, and limited maintenance requirements when powder coated. Choosing stainless steel cabinets over plastic cabinets will provide the best return on investment, giving you the freedom to enjoy your outdoor living space worry-free for years to come.

Outdoor kitchen design has many considerations, from material options, layout, and the functional needs of the outdoor space (e.g., storage, appliance selection). While often not necessary in multifamily projects, outdoor kitchen storage is a top priority for residential outdoor kitchen projects. Brown Jordan® Outdoor Kitchens™ recognizes that the functional needs of each outdoor kitchen project is unique, which is why we offer versatile storage solutions. To that end, our expert designers can help you achieve an outdoor kitchen that has an ideal amount of storage for the needs of the project.

Outdoor Kitchen Storage Benefits

Outdoor kitchens, when possible, should be designed to function independently from indoor kitchens. Since storage is vital to the cooking and entertaining functions of your outdoor kitchen, it should be a priority in any residential outdoor kitchen project. Including ample amounts of storage space will give you the freedom to store outdoor cooking and eating utensils and supplies in your outdoor kitchen without the need for heading back inside. 

Storage space solutions are also beneficial because having dedicated space for cooking and eating supplies, as well as trash disposal, will keep your outdoor kitchen clean and organized. In the case of outdoor grill and sink cabinets, doors will provide storage options for inside the cabinets, as well as access to maintenance for plumbing, gas lines, and propane tanks.

Outdoor Kitchen Storage Solutions

Solutions for outdoor kitchen storage are available in various options. Outdoor cabinets with different configurations can achieve any need that you have for storage. In accordance with the size, layout, and needs of your outdoor space, you can choose different configurations and widths of cabinets with full height doors, doors and drawers, or multiple drawers. You can also choose options for shelves to store items and warming drawers beneath the outdoor grill to store freshly cooked food prior to serving.

Other solutions for an outdoor kitchen with storage include wall cabinets and outdoor kitchen islands. Wall cabinets are excellent for storage of dinnerware and glasses. Outdoor kitchen islands are beneficial for both additional storage and providing a usable workspace for food prep. Islands can accommodate grills and other cooking appliances as well, for added convenience.

With the increasing desire for outdoor living and entertainment spaces, outdoor-rated accessories are also gaining popularity. Including features in your outdoor living space, such as outdoor-rated TVs and outdoor kitchens, are great options to enhance the outdoor entertaining capabilities of your space. In this article, we discuss how the design options available through Brown Jordan® Outdoor Kitchens™ will give you the freedom to design a beautiful and durable outdoor kitchen along with an outdoor-rated TV.

How to Choose an Outdoor TV

You should choose an outdoor television based on your needs and budget for your outdoor space. Many people opt for a less expensive TV, as it will be cheaper to replace than a costly one. While there are outdoor TVs to fit various budgets, the cost of outdoor TVs is correlated with other factors, such as capability of handling the weather, sunlight exposure, and temperature fluctuations. These factors will also affect where you can place your outdoor TV. For example, some outdoor TVs have a greater range of brightness properties, making them functional even in areas with full sun exposure. More expensive outdoor TVs will have greater flexibility for placement outdoors due to their enhanced resistance to the environment.

Benefits of an Outdoor Kitchen with a TV

The greatest outdoor living experiences will incorporate every element of entertaining and enjoyment of the space, from socializing with guests around the TV to cooking, eating, and drinking. Designing an outdoor kitchen and including an outdoor TV in your space will provide a complete entertainment package for you and your guests. Installing a TV near your outdoor kitchen or outdoor seating area will offer a relaxing space to cook a meal and catch a game or a movie, giving you the freedom to enjoy your outdoor space in much the same way that you would indoors.

Best Layouts for an Outdoor Kitchen with a TV

The best outdoor kitchen layouts with an outdoor television will be functional for using both the kitchen and viewing the TV. Determining the function of your outdoor TV in your space will guide the placement of your TV relative to your outdoor kitchen and/or seating area. For instance, do you want your TV to be in a usable location for the chef, or do you want to design a relaxing entertainment area for your guests away from your outdoor kitchen? Depending on the size of your outdoor space, you may be able to place your TV in an outdoor dining area for optimal viewing by both the chef and the guests as well.

If your living space includes a separate outdoor living room with seating, you may want to include the TV in your seating area rather than in your outdoor kitchen for a relaxing social atmosphere. If your TV will be included in your backyard kitchen, you will need to be especially mindful of the location, such as placing the TV away from outdoor cooking areas.

You will want to consider factors that will affect viewing of the TV too, such as sunrise, sunset, and if your outdoor space is shaded from the environment. These considerations will be very helpful in determining the best layout for your outdoor kitchen and the best suited outdoor TV model for your space. As always, follow the advice of the manufacturer of your outdoor TV model for best practices on placement to ensure longevity.

Why Choose Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens?

At Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens, we consider all the design elements of your outdoor living space and how each one comes together to create a cohesive whole.

True to its name, a Big Green Egg is a ceramic charcoal grill and smoker that is big, green, and egg-shaped. It is a popular addition to outdoor kitchens because it offers precise temperature control, quick heating, and efficient air circulation for even cooking. While incorporating a Big Green Egg into your outdoor kitchen is becoming increasingly common, your outdoor kitchen design must take into account factors such as the height, weight, and any smoke produced. If you are seeking to include a Big Green Egg in your outdoor kitchen, choosing a brand like Brown Jordan® Outdoor Kitchens™ will ensure seamless fit and function in your outdoor kitchen layout.

Benefits of a Big Green Egg

A Big Green Egg is beneficial in your outdoor kitchen because it is versatile and offers tons of cooking opportunities in your outdoor kitchen, such as grilling, baking, slow-cooking, smoking, and stir-frying. It will heat up in minutes and provides plenty of control with cooking temperature, allowing you to choose your desired degree of temperature. It is also capable of reaching a wide range of temperatures. In addition, external temperatures do not affect the structural integrity or the cooking temperature inside the Egg, meaning you can enjoy perfectly prepared food in your Egg for many years to come in your outdoor kitchen.

Including a Big Green Egg in your outdoor kitchen is a great way to revamp your outdoor cooking space. It offers plenty of advantages over traditional outdoor cooking methods like grilling. Smoked food offers a distinct flavor over grilling, and the Big Green Egg allows you to cook meat evenly at a specific temperature and even slow cook large cuts of meat. If you are seeking a beneficial alternative to grilling, a Big Green Egg is sustainable, high quality, and can last a lifetime.

The Best Outdoor Kitchen Design for a Big Green Egg

The size of the Big Green Egg means that it should be effectively incorporated into your outdoor kitchen layout based on its size and weight. The Big Green Egg is undoubtedly heavy, weighing in at several hundred pounds. As a result, incorporating it into an outdoor kitchen means your kitchen will need to include a stand or a cabinet that can hold the weight. The best outdoor kitchen design will safely and cleanly accommodate the size of the Egg in your backyard in a functional way.

Other considerations for including an Egg are the height, function, and smoke production. The Egg is often included near the end of a cabinet run or in a corner to allow for workstation space on both sides. Since the Egg opens from the top, your outdoor kitchen design should allow for sufficient space from above the Egg and clearance behind it for opening the top fully. While outdoor cooking appliances can operate in enclosed or partially enclosed spaces, consult local laws and codes for smoke production and fire safety when including a Big Green Egg in your outdoor kitchen. You want to make sure it’s a safe addition to your backyard or patio to avoid any potential fire dangers.

Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens is the Best Option for Your Big Green Egg

Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens manufactures stainless steel cabinetry using 304 or 316 (marine) grade stainless steel. Our cabinetry is designed and engineered to remain durable in the outdoors under extreme weather conditions and requires minimal maintenance when powder coated in one of our available finishes. The durability and structural integrity of our stainless steel cabinetry means that it will hold its shape and strength under the weight of the Big Green Egg, and our powder coat options will allow you to customize your outdoor kitchen cabinetry to suit the aesthetic of your outdoor living space.

Our cabinetry is available in a variety of types, including appliance cabinets that are designed to hold virtually every outdoor cooking appliance. From grill cabinets to ceramic smoker cabinets that are designed to hold and support the weight of the Big Green Egg, we can accommodate nearly every outdoor appliance requirement.

Our cabinets are also available in hundreds of sizes, including fillers, trim kits, and back and end panels that are engineered to give your outdoor kitchen a clean, finished look. In addition, our seemingly endless configurations will give you the freedom to house your Big Green Egg anywhere in your outdoor kitchen layout. As a result, you can feel confident that your Big Green Egg will seamlessly fit into your outdoor kitchen design and be both functional and attractive in your outdoor living space.

A Big Green Egg is a great alternative to traditional outdoor grills and other outdoor cooking appliances. You will have precise control over grilling, smoking, slow-cooking, and more in a Big Green Egg, allowing you to cook delicious food in your outdoor kitchen all year round. Choosing Brown Jordan® Outdoor Kitchens™ for your outdoor kitchen will give you the confidence that our durable stainless steel cabinetry will not only fully support the size and function of your Big Green Egg, it will also support your cooking and entertaining lifestyle.

Material & Style of Your Outside Kitchen Wall 

You can effortlessly create an elegant, sophisticated outdoor living space with the material and style of your outdoor kitchen wall. Examples of material options include stone, glass, brick, wood, stainless steel wall cabinets, and tile. Each material can help you achieve the aesthetic that you are seeking. For example, stone, brick, and wood outdoor kitchen walls can create a natural space that blends the indoors with the outside. Glass walls will make your outdoor kitchen space appear larger, blend your indoor and outdoor living spaces, and offer protection from the elements. A tile wall or backsplash provides the opportunity for a variety of design and customization options to express your personal style. Stainless steel cabinets for your outdoor kitchen wall offer both functionality and an attractive design element in your outdoor space.

Outside Kitchen Wall Ideas

The design options for your outdoor kitchen wall depend on the placement of your outdoor kitchen and stainless steel appliances. If you will be placing your outdoor grill against a wall, you will want to make sure your wall is made of non-combustible materials, such as glass, stone, brick, or tile. It is inadvisable to place your outdoor grill against any combustible materials like vinyl or wood siding, as the heat can melt the material or cause it to ignite.

1. Brick, stone, and cedar. A cedar, brick, or natural stone home will achieve a natural aesthetic in your outdoor space when you place your outdoor kitchen near an outside wall. Just remember to keep grills away from cedar siding! Brick offers a classic, urban look to your outdoor kitchen space and can be painted to create an accent wall. Since natural stone is available in a variety of colors and textures, and cedar can be left bare or painted, you can use your wall as a foundation for the rest of your design aesthetic. Incorporating neutral hues with deep greens and blues and an outdoor fireplace inside your brick or stone wall will enhance the natural look of your space.

2. Ceramic or porcelain tile. The color options and patterns that are available with tile are seemingly endless! You can create virtually any aesthetic and even create intricate designs and mosaics with a tile wall or backsplash space. Choose bright, fun colored tiles that you can contrast with dark cabinets. Or choose neutral tones throughout for a cohesive design. As a bonus, tile is easy to keep clean in the outdoors. Be mindful that any broken tiles may be difficult to replace if the same option is not available.

3. Glass. Glass is a sleek, elegant material that pairs well with any aesthetic. Placing your outdoor kitchen inside of a glass Florida/California/Arizona room can easily create a modern look while protecting your backyard kitchen against the elements. Glass walls provide the bonus of letting in natural light and making your space appear larger and more open as well. Choose light colors in your space for an airy, outdoorsy feel or deeper hues for a modern aesthetic.

4. Powder coated stainless steel wall cabinets. Including wall cabinets in your outdoor kitchen design is a must-have for storage purposes and to make your outdoor kitchen as functional as your indoor kitchen. Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens offers a variety of sizes with choices of handles, powder coat colors, and door styles for your outdoor wall cabinets. Cabinets for your outdoor kitchen wall will create the most functional wall space for your outdoor kitchen.

Complement Your Outdoor Wall with Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens

Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens manufactures stainless steel outdoor kitchen cabinetry with powder coat color options that will enhance your outdoor living space and complement your outdoor wall selections. Our powder coat finish colors run the gamut from bright to neutral, metallic, textured, and even realistic wood grain finishes. As such, you have the freedom to complement your wall material and style with the color of your outdoor kitchen. You can even add some outdoor wall decor to add your own personal touches.

Pairing natural wall materials with neutral or earthy hues will set the tone for a cohesive, blended space. For example, our Loden powder coat finish, which is a textured olive green, is a great alternative to taupe or brown for an earthy feel. Our realistic wood grain finishes will also pair perfectly with cedar and brick for a truly transitional space. For a fun, high-contrast space, choose brightly colored tiles for your outdoor wall or backsplash with our black textured Night powder coat finish for your outdoor kitchen cabinets. If an open, clean feel is what you are after, our glossy and bright White Lite powder coat finish will make a great pairing with glass walls in your outdoor space.

Regardless of the placement and aesthetic you are seeking for your backyard kitchen, Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens has you covered. Our outdoor base cabinets, outdoor sink cabinets, and other kitchen cabinets for the backyard, rooftop or patio are durable and attractive with seemingly endless options for placement and layout. To complete your space, the design and style of your outdoor kitchen wall can be paired with a multitude of our powder coated cabinets to achieve any aesthetic. Whether your outdoor kitchen wall is brick, tile, glass, or includes stainless steel wall cabinets, your outdoor space will be beautiful and functional from all angles.

In terms of outdoor living design in the United States, you will often see colors, styles, and designs that are trending in certain regions of the country. When looking specifically at outdoor living ideas in the state of California, some of the common additions to a backyard space include an outdoor kitchen, outdoor lounging area, outdoor entertainment, fireplace, pool, and shading options. Incorporating each of these elements will help to create a cohesive outdoor living space that offers food, fun, and a comfortable space to relax outside.

Outdoor Living Space Ideas

Backyards in California can incorporate a variety of trends, ranging from outdoor cooking and lounging to entertainment packages. Here are some of the most common outdoor living space ideas, all of which will create a beautiful outdoor living space in California – or anywhere else.

Outdoor kitchen. A luxury outdoor living space would not be complete without an outdoor kitchen. Popular not just in California, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen features an abundance of convenience and entertainment value for all your outdoor patio gatherings.

Lounging area. An outdoor space can be an extension of your indoor living space, complete with a lounging area or living room. Spending more time outdoors in the beautiful California weather is easy and enjoyable with a relaxing space.

Entertainment. What could be better than an outdoor entertainment oasis? With more outdoor-rated electronics than ever, outdoor entertainment packages are common in California for everything from Super Bowl parties to unwinding after an evening meal.             

Fireplace. An outdoor fireplace brings the comforts of the indoors to the outside. Providing warmth and a cozy ambiance, an outdoor fireplace is a perfect place to gather around on a cool night with a drink in hand.

Pool. A pool adjacent to an outdoor kitchen provides a ton of benefits for family fun, outdoor barbecues, and pool parties. Pools are popular in many regions of California because they can be used virtually year-round and are a great escape when the weather is hot.

California Room and other shade options. Covered spaces offer shade and protection from the elements. A California Room – also the moniker for a three-season room – is an enclosed space, either with windows or screens, that can house your entire outdoor living space.

Benefits of an Outdoor Space in California

The benefits of an outdoor space in California are abundant when you can create an entire living area that showcases features like a seating area, outdoor kitchen, entertainment, fireplace, and pool. Here are some of the highlights of an outdoor living space:

Increase in resale value. A California outdoor kitchen alone increases the resale value of your home significantly. By that margin, a fully stocked outdoor living space means more money in your pocket when it is time to sell your home.

Unparalleled convenience. By bringing the comforts of the indoors to the outside, the convenience is unmatched. An outdoor living space with an outdoor kitchen, outdoor patio seating, and entertainment options will be as convenient and enjoyable as your indoor living space with the bonus of being outside.

Food and entertainment. Host the ultimate parties right in your California backyard! Grill up delicious food in your outdoor kitchen, splash around in the pool, and then spend the evening relaxing by the fireplace, binge-watching your favorite show with a drink in hand.

More time spent outdoors. These days, spending more time outdoors in the sun and fresh air is a must. Your California backyard can easily become an outdoor oasis with all the features and amenities that are available.

Enhancement of your personal style. Like your indoor space, designing your outdoor living space is an opportunity to enhance your personal style. Use color, texture, layout, and design to your advantage to extend your indoor style to the outdoors or create an entirely new aesthetic.

Best Outdoor Kitchens for a California Backyard

One of the most sought-after features for a California backyard is an outdoor kitchen. Like the styles in Arizona, California outdoor kitchen designs have similar requirements and trends. A suitable outdoor kitchen for a California backyard will be durable and require minimal maintenance, all while remaining beautiful and incorporating popular design concepts from around the state.

Brown Jordan® Outdoor Kitchens™ checks all the boxes for luxury outdoor kitchens that are perfect in any California backyard:

•   304 or 316 grade stainless steel cabinetry that is made to order in the USA.

Spanish Style Outdoor Kitchen: Designs and Appliances

A modern Spanish kitchen embodies a traditional Mediterranean outdoor kitchen design. It will include materials like tile or natural stone countertops and wood finish cabinets. The color palette will include earthy or nature-inspired hues, like wood grains, browns, greens, beiges, oranges, and reds. Materials and features like exposed wooden beams, ironwork, lattice, stucco, stone, and clay are also characteristics of this covered outdoor kitchen style.

An attractive feature of designing your outdoor kitchen is the ability to capture any aesthetic by customizing your kitchen idea and design with a variety of colors and materials. Two popular aesthetics for outdoor kitchens are a farmhouse/country outdoor kitchen and an urban outdoor kitchen, each of which can be easily achieved with a stainless steel outdoor kitchen from Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens. Regardless of the outdoor kitchen aesthetic that you are seeking, Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens will work closely with you to achieve the dream outdoor kitchen design that meets your needs.

Outdoor Kitchen Designs

Both the country and urban outdoor kitchen aesthetics can be achieved with Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchen’s stainless steel cabinets, options for layouts, and powder coat finishes.

A country/farmhouse outdoor style is casual and natural, with earthy materials and colors. This country outdoor kitchen design typically includes wood, metal, and brick, with colors like red, wood grains, brown, white, and green. Casual seating is popular, with barstools or a separate relaxed seating area with a firepit or fireplace.

By contrast, the urban outdoor style is sleek and modern with neutral tones. Urban outdoor living spaces utilize industrial materials, especially metal, and they include colors like black, white, grey, and silver. Urban outdoor kitchens are often found on balconies and rooftops.

Trending Designs and Layouts

Farmhouse outdoor living designs or country outdoor kitchen ideas include features like a covered patio,  gazebo or pergola, metal accents, stone walls, concrete flooring, and wooden features like sliding barn doors. A farmhouse, also known as a country outdoor kitchen, will include a natural countertop material like limestone, granite, or even stone tiles. Barstools or casual seating arrangements are common for outdoor entertaining as well, meaning that L shaped layouts or straight runs with islands are popular. These layouts can effortlessly incorporate outdoor bar seating and leave open space for other features like an outdoor fireplace.

Urban outdoor kitchens on balconies and rooftops are often not covered, as their placement provides stunning views of the landscape. Due to the limited outdoor space in these areas, urban outdoor kitchens are often simple layouts with a minimal aesthetic. They incorporate clean and sharp lines with sleek granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, for a fresh, modern look. Like the country outdoor living space, they often include outdoor bar seating or a separate fire table with chairs for dining and socializing.

The Benefits of Choosing Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens

For the ultimate fun in the sun, building an outdoor kitchen near your swimming pool is a popular solution to create your backyard oasis. Although there are some considerations for placing your outdoor kitchen near your pool, this setup offers plenty of entertaining and outdoor living benefits. In this article, we discuss how choosing Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens for your outdoor kitchen design next to your pool will achieve the best results for backyard entertaining.

Benefits of an Outdoor Kitchen with a Pool

Building an outdoor kitchen adjacent to your pool has many entertaining benefits. This setup allows the chef and guests to socialize, swim, sunbathe, eat, and drink in one backyard outdoor living space. You can include a bartending station and refrigerator with your outdoor kitchen design so you can make and serve drinks by the pool. You can also situate your outdoor kitchen underneath shade, such as a pergola, gazebo, or in a three-season room, so you and your guests can enjoy a relaxing summer day in the pool and then cool off with food and drinks away from the sun. A refreshing pool alongside your beautiful luxury outdoor kitchen will guarantee that you will be the ultimate host for backyard parties and barbecues.

Considerations 

The main considerations of building an outdoor kitchen near your pool are placement, contact with moisture and pool chemicals, and sun exposure. When planning your outdoor space, you will want to be mindful of where you are placing your outdoor kitchen relative to your pool. Ideally, your outdoor kitchen will be close to your pool, but you will not want your outdoor kitchen exposed to extra moisture, saltwater, or pool chemicals. Additionally, spending some time in the shade would be a welcome relief after splashing around in the pool under the sun all day. When considering these factors, the best placement for your outdoor kitchen is underneath a pergola or other covered patio solutions with room for patio chairs or a seating area between your pool and outdoor kitchen.                                                        

Layouts 

Regardless of where your outdoor kitchen will be located relative to your pool, any layout shape should work in your design. There are so many outdoor kitchen design ideas to choose from, but you should choose the one that feels best for your outdoor entertaining and cooking needs. A straight run of cabinets will leave plenty of open space between your outdoor kitchen and pool for lounge chairs or a seating area. L, U, and G shaped outdoor kitchens are great options to incorporate bar seating, allowing guests to climb out of the pool and take a seat at the outdoor bar for a refreshing drink.

While the interest in outdoor kitchens and outdoor living spaces is universal, specific designs and color concepts are often regional in nature. For example, a transitional style with a wood grain finish has been the most popular aesthetic in the western region of the United States. In this article, we discuss Arizona, Arizona Rooms, and how outdoor living and outdoor kitchen trends and design ideas are based largely on the climate of the state.

Outdoor Living Trends in Arizona

Due to the weather in Arizona, pergolas and other shaded patio options are popular for outdoor living spaces among homeowners. Depending on the location in Arizona, the climate can be very different, although it is mostly dry to very dry with limited humidity and plenty of sun exposure. Nights can be chilly, and higher elevations in the northern regions of the state will even see snow. Precipitation also varies quite a bit, from droughts to occasional monsoon weather. Outdoor shading options offer protection from the sun and occasional rain or snow.

A transitional aesthetic with wood grain finishes and nature-inspired hues is popular for outdoor living spaces, with the goal of blending the indoors with the outside. Incorporating outdoor accessories, outdoor seating, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and pools is important for this reason as well. Outdoor kitchens and pools are especially common for homeowners because they can be used all year in most of the state with minimal maintenance. It is also popular to include plenty of amenity options to create a complete living space that can be enjoyed outside on almost any day of the year.

Arizona Room 

Like a Florida or California Room, an Arizona Room is an outdoor extension of the indoor living space but found in Arizona. It is usually added to the back of a residence for privacy and is completely or partially covered with a roof. For the walls, you can choose from screens or windows, depending on your goals for the space. Similar to a sunroom, an Arizona Room addition merges the best of both the indoors and outdoors by providing the feeling of being outside but with protection from the sun, snakes, scorpions, and other wildlife.

If you are seeking an abundance of natural light at your house, consider where to place your Arizona room based on sunrise and sunset. If you want more fresh air, screens are the way to go. Otherwise, glass walls will let in tons of natural light while providing extra protection from the outdoors. Besides for an outdoor kitchen, an Arizona Room can be fully outfitted with features like a separate seating area, a pool, a fireplace, and outdoor accessories.

Pool

Given the hot and dry climate, cooling options are vital in an Arizona Room for both outdoor fun and an escape from the heat. Your enclosed pool will be more protected from wildlife and stray vegetation as well.

Seating area

A seating or dining area completes your Arizona Room addition by providing an area to relax and eat out of the sun. It will give you and any guest that outdoor feeling while providing you shelter from the heat. Place your seating area close to your outdoor kitchen for the best entertaining results.

Fireplace

For a chilly Arizona night and especially if your Arizona Room has screens instead of windows, a fireplace is a great addition to add warmth and a cozy atmosphere. A fireplace near low seating is key for relaxation after dinner.

Outdoor accessories

Lighting features and curtains will create a cozy nighttime ambiance. Rugs and pillows are a great opportunity to enhance your color palette. Include a TV for the ultimate entertainment package in your outdoor living room.
