You might have an empty wall or section right next to your kitchen. This space can be your kitchen equipment keeper. You are only required to add a few extra kitchen cabinets, racks and (if you prefer) floating shelves. And your outdoor kitchenette storage is ready to use.
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.
