Creating an outdoor kitchen under the pergola
With fine weather just around the corner, there is great anticipation for outdoor barbecues and poolside birthday parties. These are precisely the occasions in which an outdoor kitchen becomes the focal point of conviviality: have you ever considered placing it under the pergola in the garden or on the terrace? Here are some ideas!
An outdoor kitchen: the benefits
Imagine then being able to cook without having to leave your guests alone: an outdoor kitchen makes a patio the ideal setting for cooking but also welcoming and entertaining guests.
The importance of an outdoor kitchen pergola
The installation of a kitchen under an outdoor pergola is a matter of practicality. The pergola keeps both guests and food sheltered, providing shaded areas that are essential during the summer months in order to avoid muggy weather and keep food and drinks cool.
Furthermore, a well-designed pergola provides shelter against the inclemency of the weather such as sudden rains, allowing outdoor activities to continue uninterrupted. By using this type of structure, events can be planned without the worry of having to cancel them due to adverse weather conditions, enabling interaction to take place in a comfortable and safe environment.
The Corradi pergola for a perfect outdoor kitchen
Among the different outdoor solutions offered by Corradi, the bioclimatic pergolas are ideal solutions to accommodate an outdoor kitchen. These pergolas are distinguished by the cover provided by the adjustable sunshade blades. In fact, they make it possible for the amount of light and ventilation coming through to be customised, adjusting it according to the weather. Rain on the way? Simply close the blades to protect the kitchen from the inclemency of the weather, and then reopen them when the weather improves. Did you know that it is also possible to close the pergola sideways, thereby making the kitchen even cosier?
Guide to choosing materials for the outdoor kitchen area
Although sheltered by the pergola, it is important to select the right finishes for the outdoor kitchen in order to ensure durability and functionality: which ones would you choose?
Materials such as stainless steel, known for its durability and ease of cleaning, are ideal. However, granite or marble worktops add an element of elegance.
Illuminating the outdoor pergola
What about when the sun sets? Thanks to the sophisticated lighting solutions integrated into Corradi's pergola models, such as Imago®, the charm of your outdoor kitchen under the pergola can be enjoyed in the evening as well. LED strips, cleverly hidden in the perimeter, light up to create the right degree of intimacy, outlining the architectural structure. The lighting thus becomes part of the design, complementing and enhancing the elegant aesthetics of the pergola.
A pergola with outdoor kitchen offers the perfect setting for a pleasant and unforgettable evening under a sky dotted with stars. Be inspired.
