With the warm weather and festive atmosphere, Christmas is the perfect time to get outside and light up the barbecue. Pull out some fun lawn games and enjoy some Chrissy snags while you soak up the sun with your family. There’s no better way to enjoy Christmas.
But what if your Adelaide outdoor kitchen isn’t up for the challenge? There are some simple and budget-friendly things you can do to get your space prepared for the big day. Read on to discover our top 4 tips for getting your Adelaide outdoor kitchen ready for Christmas.
Install a TV and sound system
Christmas lunch may be the star of the show, but what will your guests do when they’re not eating? Keep your family in the festive spirit by either playing Christmas tunes on your new sound system or playing classic Chrissy movies on your outdoor TV.
Just keep in mind that a regular indoor TV isn’t suitable for your outdoor kitchen. You’ll need a specialised outdoor TV that has much higher nits - a unit to measure brightness - and is designed to handle the bright light and reflection of the sun.
Chuck on some throw pillows and outdoor rugs
The best Christmases are the ones that make you feel like you’ve returned home. Give your Adelaide outdoor kitchen a homely touch by chucking on some trendy throw pillows and outdoor rugs.
Decors such as throw pillows, rugs, and blankets give your outdoor entertaining area a finishing touch and add a fun pop of colour. And the best part? Throw pillows are the perfect place to rest your head for that post-Christmas lunch nap.

Update your appliances
Once upon a time, outdoor kitchens consisted of a lonely little barbecue in the corner of the backyard. Nowadays, you can find outdoor kitchens loaded with fridges, sinks and even pizza ovens - everything you need to make Christmas lunch an affair to remember.
Adelaide Outdoor Kitchens supplies outdoor appliances - such as wine coolers, bar fridges, pizza ovens and range hoods - to turn your outdoor space into an entertainer’s dream. We only deal with high-end brands such as Rhino, Condor and Sirius to ensure that you receive only the best-performing appliances that the Australian market has to offer.
Don’t forget the Christmas lights
It isn’t Christmas without the sparkling lights. You can get solar or battery-powered fairy lights on the cheap from almost anywhere. Wrap them around table legs, around the deck (if you have one) or hang them from nearby trees and plants.
And just because it’s summer, it doesn’t mean that you won’t need proper lighting when the sun goes down. Add some path lighting and in-ground well lights so your guests can see where we’re walking, and throw up a few string lights for that Christmassy vibe.
