About this collection
Mountain & Cabin Kitchen Ideas, explained.
Mountain and cabin kitchens take their cues from lodges and modern mountain homes: heavy timber and steel, stacked stone and boulders, decks cantilevered toward the view, fire pits and hot tubs for cold nights, and planting of pines, aspens, grasses and native wildflowers.
Notice how the best kitchen designs let the landscape dominate and keep the built elements dark and simple. Save the schemes that suit your altitude, your snow load and the direction of your view.
Mountain outdoor kitchens are heavy and warm. Look for stacked-stone or fieldstone bases, thick timber posts and beams, butcher-block or granite counters, a smoker and a wood-fired grill, a fireplace at one end and a view at the other. Dark steel, leather bar stools and lantern lighting suit the cabin mood.
