Outside kitchen design ideas Vickers project

Looking for outside kitchen design ideas? How about this Houston outdoor entertaining

area with Mediterranean flair?

Designed and built by Outdoor Homescapes of Houston, this fully loaded family and

entertaining space echoes the stucco, travertine tile patio and Mediterranean style of the

existing home while exuding a more modern, transitional style.

“This was a high-profile client – both VPs of different oil and gas companies who

entertain affluent guests on a regular basis – so they wanted to make sure they had

high-end appliances and all the latest amenities they could order,” says Lisha Maxey,

senior designer for Outdoor Homescapes and owner of LGH Design Services in Houston.

“They also have two kids, ages 7 and 10, and wanted a family gathering space that

better accompanied their new, luxurious pool.”

What really sets apart this outside kitchen design idea, however, is the way the elements

are used throughout the space.

“Usually, outdoor kitchen designs for a backyard are grouped into one island or cabinet,”

explains Outdoor Homescapes of Houston owner Wayne Franks. “But here, the patio,

roof and fireplace were all in place, separated by stucco columns, and the outdoor

kitchen elements had to work around them.”

A 14-foot-long cooking island houses a built-in Fire Magic grill with a Magic View Window

(allows the chef to check on food without lifting the lid and losing valuable heat). The

island also features a Fire Magic power burner, warming drawer and trash drawer. On

one side of the fireplace, forming an “L” with the cooking island, sits a built-in Primo

ceramic grill.

On the other side of the fireplace is a 3-foot-long cabinet housing a bar with a wine

cooler, ice maker and upper cabinet. And finally, just outside the patio door is a 7-foot-

long cabinet with a sink, trash drawer and another upper cabinet.

Outdoor Homescapes of Houston, by the way, outfitted both cabinets with glass inserts,

custom pulls and three-way sensor lighting.

“At the beginning, this was basically a blank space with a fireplace in the middle,” says

Maxey. “We upgraded the fireplace with Austin Western limestone. The stone added

that pop.”

The fireplace’s distressed wood mantel and upper wood cabinets were both stained with

the Minwax color Jacobean. The ceiling fans were also updated with ones featuring

similarly espresso-colored, wooden fan blades, to match.

The table in the middle - a cast-iron, Mediterranean style gem with hand-forged

scrollwork designs from Patio 1 in Houston – seats 10.

“We wanted this kind of Mediterranean feel,” says Maxey. “We wanted rustic, but the

appliance package was so new, with all its stainless steel, so we kept a the cabinets and

the columns stucco instead of stone for a more clean, modern look and then did the

rustic custom tile backsplash and mosaic.”

The client, who admits they have high standards, was more than pleased with the

project – especially browsing through Outdoor Homescapes’ vast library of patio kitchen

design ideas, the 3D virtual video tour that let them preview the project from every

angle before construction. They also liked the personalized design consultation.

“ … OH provides a very neat service where one of their designers will either shop/buy for

you or shop with you for the more detailed pieces that will finish your home,” reads the

client’s review on Houzz. “This was a very positive personalized feature … Lisha helped

narrow down an enormous market place of materials and finishes to a few we could

choose from.”
