The outdoor kitchen trend of 2026: the outdoor kitchen island

In 2026, outdoor living is increasingly about convenience and togetherness. One of the most striking garden trends this year? The outdoor kitchen island. More and more people are choosing an outdoor kitchen where cooking, dining and conviviality come together in one place. No more loose furniture or improvised corners, but a well thought-out and complete cooking island with integrated bar in the middle of the garden.

Discover the outdoor kitchen island

The outdoor kitchen island is more than just practical. It is an extension of your home. With integrated worktops, various cooking options, sinks and even a fixed table against it. As a cook, you are no longer separate, but rather at the center among your guests. That fits perfectly with how we now want to live outdoors: together, relaxed and hassle-free.

Life-Steel is noticing a growing demand for this setup. People want an outdoor kitchen that offers more than just a barbecue. They want a place where everything is right. A sleek design, made from maintenance-free materials, in a style that suits their garden. And thanks to our modular system, each outdoor kitchen island can be put together completely as desired. From compact to extra large, with or without a Big Green Egg, the choice is yours.

Colors play a big role in this. A popular combination we often see is a beige-gray base combined with a natural worktop such as travertine or Dekton Ava. This gives a light, warm look that goes well with many garden styles. Can it get a little tougher? Then a dark worktop such as Dekton Kelya is a perfect match. This has a robust, almost industrial look and combines beautifully with black or anthracite-colored modules.
