Crate & Barrel’s New Modular Kitchens Bring a Custom Look Outdoors
Outfit your al fresco living space with ease with Crate & Barrel’s new outdoor kitchen collections.
With the outdoor season heating up, it’s time to move your cooking and entertaining to the patio. Crate & Barrel’s new Outdoor Kitchen Collections let you skip the contractor and get the custom look without the construction dust—leaving more time for you or your clients to enjoy longer days and warm summer nights with friends and family.
A little planning can go a long way toward creating an outdoor oasis without a major overhaul. If you have the space, curate the dining setup to allow an organic flow between casual and formal seating areas. Gathering around an outdoor kitchen island or counter-height console with drinks and apps can be the perfect prelude to a seated dinner. Consider layering textures for a warm and inviting feel—soften up patio pavers with an outdoor rug or sink into your favorite outdoor chaise with an extra pillow or two. Finally, choose furniture that’s right for the scale of the space—make smart selections to ensure guests have ample room to move and mingle. By leaning on modular systems like Crate & Barrel’s new Batten and Alfresco Outdoor Collections, it’s easy to choose combinations that are perfectly tailored to your—or your clients’—individual space.
Crate & Barrel’s Outdoor Kitchen Collections allow you to craft a showstopping backyard transformation without the time and investment of a construction project. The modularity of Crate & Barrel’s new collections makes it easy to customize them to the space, shortening the design phase and streamlining implementation. Thanks to this "no-demo reno," an entertainment-ready culinary oasis is closer than you may think.
