5 Reasons Why We Love L-Shaped Outdoor Kitchen Designs

Wondering whether you should setup your outdoor kitchen in a linear manner or L-shape arrangement?

When it comes to outdoor kitchens, there is no one-size, or one-style fits all. Choosing the right outdoor kitchen setup is determined by a lot of factors such as the amount of space you have, the outdoor kitchen components you’ve bought, and your desired look. Most outdoor kitchens feature a unit with the burner and another unit with the tap and sink combo. These two pieces can be arranged in a linear fashion or in an L-shape. Here are the five reasons why the L-shape arrangement is popular.

• 1.    L-shape outdoor kitchens are versatile

L-shape kitchens are flexible and adaptable. Working with a good floor plan you can really spruce up your outdoor space in creative ways. Before you have the kitchen installed, take time to play around with several designs until you find the one that you feel will do justice to the amount of space you have. This is the versatility of L-shaped outdoor kitchens.

• 2.    L-shaped outdoor kitchens are practical

The burners, cooktop, food preparation area as well as the sink are all within close proximity of each other. You don’t have to go far to reach one part of the kitchen. Cabinetry and refrigerators are also within arm’s length making this design a very practical and efficient one.

• 3.    L-shaped outdoor kitchens are ideal for corners

It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that L-shaped outdoor kitchens are perfect for corners. If your patio or backyard has a focal corner then this might be the ideal place to install your outdoor kitchen. Furthermore, unlike linear outdoor kitchen arrangements which require a lot of space lengthwise for a proper installation, an L-shape installation can be done in a place with a small-to-medium patio space.

• 4.    L-shaped outdoor kitchens can be customized

You can get as creative as you like with your outdoor kitchen. There are so many aspects of the kitchen itself that can be customized. From the material used to cover the kitchen islands, to the material you choose for your bench tops and preparation areas, you can customize, customize, and customize some more to get the look you want.

• 5.    L-shaped kitchens make multi-cooking a breeze

The floor plan of L-shaped outdoor kitchens makes cooking a breeze and also allows several people to cook at once. Whether you want to grill/sear/roast your meat, while another person prepares fries and sauces on the side burners, and another cleans up at the sink, there is definitely enough room to not rub elbows with anyone!
