Outdoor kitchens for garden and terrace: your weatherproof outdoor kitchen

Dreaming of your own garden kitchen where you can cook for family and friends when the weather's good? IKEA outdoor kitchens give you everything you need to make small or large outdoor kitchen dreams true: from a compact sink unit and an outdoor kitchen island to a generous outdoor barbecue kitchen with a gas barbecue. The frames and fronts of our outdoor kitchens are made from galvanised, powder-coated steel that's winter- and weatherproof. Worktops and sinks are made from gleaming stainless steel, making them hygienic and rust-resistant. The dark frames combined with the light stainless steel elements create an elegant look that adds style to any outdoor space.

Key features and benefits of our outdoor kitchens (depending on the model):

• Modular systems: individual elements can be combined and added to, so every idea for your personal outdoor kitchen becomes a reality.
• Weatherproof materials: galvanised steel and stainless steel stand up to rain and sun so you can use your outdoor kitchen for many years.
• Outdoor kitchen island: freestanding elements offer worktop space from all sides and become the centrepiece of any garden party.
• Integrated sink unit: a water connection via the garden hose makes working outside easy.
• Gas or charcoal barbecue: integrated barbecues with precise temperature control make barbecuing a pleasure for every food lover.
• Clever storage: closed cupboards keep charcoal dry, while open shelves and hooks keep spices and utensils within easy reach.
• Stylish design: dark fronts and stainless steel create a modern look that fits well in a garden or on a terrace.

Whether you're looking for a complete outdoor kitchen or want to buy individual elements for your outdoor kitchen: you'll find the right solution here for your garden, terrace or balcony. For a stylish overall look, you can add outdoor chairs, weatherproof garden tables and cosy outdoor textiles.

Cupboards and worktops: what material is best for outdoor kitchens?

For long-lasting, weatherproof outdoor kitchens, we use frames and bases in galvanised, powder-coated steel and worktops and sinks in stainless steel. The powder-coated steel is rust-resistant and easy to wipe down. Stainless steel is also easy to keep clean and stands up to heavy use. That keeps your outdoor kitchen looking good and working well for years.

What should an outdoor kitchen include?

Barbecue enthusiasts agree: a well-equipped outdoor kitchen island needs a barbecue, whether gas or charcoal. Add to that generous worktop space for preparing all kinds of good food – and a sink with a water connection. Storage for barbecue accessories, kitchen utensils and spices is just as important. Our complete outdoor kitchens bring all of these elements together.

What foundation do outdoor kitchens need?

A level, stable base is important when setting up your outdoor kitchen safely, ready for all weathers including winter. Concrete slabs or paving stones are particularly well suited as a foundation. This prevents wobbling and makes sure even heavy barbecues stand securely. If your setup includes a sink unit, make sure there's sufficient drainage for the water.

How high should an outdoor kitchen be?

The ideal working height for a garden kitchen is between 85 and 95 centimetres. This matches the ergonomic height of indoor kitchens and lets most people work comfortably without having to bend or stretch. Our outdoor kitchens are designed to this ergonomic height so you can cook and prepare food in a relaxed way.

Should an outdoor kitchen have a roof?

A roof can protect against rain and direct sun, but it isn't strictly necessary. Our outdoor kitchens come through the winter without a roof, as the weatherproof materials can take quite a lot. For extra protection, though, we'd recommend a special garden furniture cover. When the weather is good, your outdoor kitchen needs neither roof nor cover. Instead, you can think about how to style the space: atmospheric outdoor lights, for example, create the perfect mood in the evening.
