These little additions will make the outdoor storage more functional and contemporary. Floating shelves or cabinets are the best option for modern outdoor kitchen storage. But ensure to cover the outdoor storage when not in use, especially protect it from rain. It will prevent moisture and rust on your kitchen equipment.
