5 Tips to Design The Perfect Backyard Barbecue Spot

overall ambiance, a functional grill, and a comfortable seating area make a barbeque wholesome and its memories long-lasting.

So, whether you’re hoping to enjoy the barbeque spot with just your family or are planning to throw a big outdoor barbeque bash for friends, here are some ideas you can use to plan a charming and functional backyard barbeque area.

Make Sure the Grill Is In a Covered Spot

A lot of people overlook this simple but important fact, but when you’re cooking outdoors, it’s important to factor in the weather. And since the weather can always be unpredictable, it’s best to be prepared ahead of time.

This is why we suggest having the grill set up in a covered spot, like a gazebo, for instance. It’ll keep your grill and food safe from harsh weather conditions, and it’ll allow you to cook regardless of the weather!

Use Stone Where You Can For a More Natural Look

A lot of people stick to marble for their outdoor cooking spaces, but we suggest going with stones instead. Stone looks incredibly natural and beautiful in barbeque areas.

So, for instance, you can have an impressive outdoor fireplace built in stone—it can serve as the statement piece for your barbeque spot. You can also have stone islands built in the area where you set up the grill. They can serve as workstations during your barbeque.

Light Up the Space Well For Evening Barbeques

Your barbeque spot needs to be well-lit if you want it to look lively during the evenings. And while the moonlight and stars will make your space magical, we suggest layering some artificial lighting as well.

Use everything from floor lanterns and fairy lights to path lighting, wall scones, hanging lanterns, spotlights, and other types of outdoor lights. Make sure you light up the cooking area nicely and the area where you’re going to sit and eat.

Have Multiple Seating Areas

Besides the benches around the outdoor dining table, you need other comfortable seating spots as well. We suggest building small stone stools next to the island. They’ll look aesthetic and make the space more comfortable for those on grill duty and the ones keeping them company.

You can also create seating areas around the fireplace or under a separate gazebo within the backyard.

Choose a Live Edge Wood Dining TableTo Complete the Look

A perfect barbeque spot needs the perfect dining space. We suggest propping up a large wooden dining table on one side of the backyard—large enough to accommodate all the food and other garnishes and condiments.

Also, since you’re designing an outdoor space, we suggest going with one of our live edge acacia wood tables; they’ll give you the authentic outdoor experience you’re looking for.
