Decks with Outdoor Kitchens: The Ultimate Backyard Upgrade

Imagine stepping outside onto your custom-built deck and walking just a few feet to your fully equipped outdoor kitchen—grill sizzling, drinks chilling, and guests gathered around the bar. Sounds like a dream, right? At Decked Out Tennessee, we’re turning that dream into reality for homeowners across Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, and beyond.

Adding an outdoor kitchen to your deck isn’t just a luxury—it’s a smart investment in your lifestyle, your property value, and how you enjoy your home year-round.


Why Add an Outdoor Kitchen to Your Deck?

Outdoor kitchens take your deck from a simple sitting area to a fully functional extension of your indoor living space. Here’s why more Tennessee homeowners are upgrading their decks with built-in cooking and dining zones:

  • 🍔 Entertaining Made Easy
    No more running back and forth from the indoor kitchen—everything you need is right outside.

  • 🌿 Enjoy Nature While You Cook
    Prepare meals while soaking in the view, sunshine, or evening breeze.

  • 🔥 Increased Home Value
    Outdoor kitchens are one of the most sought-after features for potential homebuyers.

  • 🛠️ Custom-Built to Fit Your Space
    Whether you want a compact grilling station or a full chef’s setup, we’ll design it to match your deck’s size and style.


What Can You Include in a Deck Kitchen?

The beauty of an outdoor kitchen is that it can be as simple or as luxurious as you want. Here are popular features we regularly build into our deck kitchen projects:

  • Built-in grills (gas, charcoal, or hybrid)

  • Side burners and smokers

  • Mini-fridge or beverage cooler

  • Bar seating and countertop space

  • Cabinetry and weatherproof storage

  • Outdoor sink and prep areas

  • Pizza ovens or flat-top griddles

  • Overhead pergola or retractable awning for shade


Design Tips for a Functional & Stylish Space

  • Choose durable, weather-resistant materials for countertops and cabinetry (like stainless steel or stone).

  • Plan for ventilation and airflow, especially if your deck has a roof or enclosed structure.

  • Integrate lighting for nighttime cooking and ambience.

  • Match your kitchen style to your deck design—whether that’s modern, rustic, or coastal-inspired.
