How To Snag Jonathan Scott & Zooey Deschanel's Incredible Outdoor Feature

If you're looking for home inspiration from two homeowners with serious style, look no further than the beautifully renovated historic home of actress Zooey Deschanel and star of HGTV's "Property Brothers" Jonathan Scott. The couple renovated and redesigned their Los Angeles home with a love of entertaining in mind, and as such, their outdoor spaces are stellar spaces for hosting loved ones and making memories. Although they also have an enviable formal dining room, family room, and custom-built solarium, one standout star of the show is the duo's outdoor entertaining space, which boasts a pool with lounge chairs, a dining table, and a stunning outdoor kitchen.

Thankfully, to create an entertaining haven of your own, you don't need a massive 5-bedroom Georgian revival home with an extensive amount of outdoor space like Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott's dream home. Stealing one aspect of the couple's dream home can also help you make your outdoor entertaining space a dream. Deschanel and Scott's outdoor entertaining space comes complete with a fully furnished outdoor kitchen by Brown Jordan Outdoor Kitchens that puts the average grilling station to shame with a setup that takes outdoor cooking and entertaining al-fresco to the next level. Below, we break down the impressive list of appliances that the celebrities utilized and share which ones we think are worth purchasing to build an outdoor kitchen of your own. We also share tips on how to steal the look for smaller spaces and tighter budgets, plus which details we think they've missed.

Outdoor kitchens are already a luxury, with only an estimated 4% of homeowners reported as owning this entertaining feature. But Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott take their outdoor kitchen to the next level with their fully-decked-out set-up of appliances and finishings. Their poolside outdoor kitchen contains an impressive built-in American Made grill, 2-drawer refrigerator, drop-in cooler, wine cooler, pizza oven, outdoor sink, and custom cabinetry with barstool seating for guests to enjoy the action. "We have this incredible set up so we can grill, we can do pizza nights, we can do whatever we want to do out here," shares Jonathan Scott via his YouTube channel. Adding, "We use the outdoor space so much, we always have in any house we've been in, so this was pretty important for us to have a space for us here where it's almost like a fully operational kitchen."

One of the best parts of this outdoor kitchen is indeed the massive grill that gives the couple the ability to cook for many guests. The quintessential focal point of an outdoor kitchen, a built-in grill is our top element that your outdoor kitchen needs to have. But, with custom cabinets that were designed to appear as elegant as interior ones, stone bar countertops, and all stainless steel finishes and appliances, the kitchen not only looks good but is built to brave the weather and stand the test of time. If there's another thing we'd say to steal from this pair, it's their focus on designing their kitchen with longevity and quality in mind. 

Far from finding fault with Scott and Deschanel's kitchen, these tips should help you take cues from them and design your dream outdoor kitchen while customizing yours for non-celebrity-sized spaces and budgets. First, no matter the size of your outdoor kitchen, you'll want to steal the duo's focus on weatherproof elements, so you won't have to redo things in a few years due to weather-related wear and tear. But if you don't have the space and budget, opt for just one high-quality kitchen sink and built-in grill. Outdoor grills are the most popular outdoor kitchen cooking choice, and they are attractive to future prospective buyers as well.

Consider skipping on the stove and pizza oven for space and budget constraints, as multiple cooking features may be a bit redundant. You might also consider forgoing the refrigerator, cooler, and wine cooler, as these can be duplicative, and powering these appliances year-round can drain your wallet. Although the celebrity couple decided against a stylish outdoor firepit, this is an essential element of outdoor entertaining in the winter months and shouldn't be skipped if you live in a region with chilly winters and plan on using your kitchen year-round. Finally, something else you may consider adding to your kitchen if you're a carnivorous eater is a meat smoker. With consumer appetites and the market for these products rising steadily, switching it up between grilling and smoking is likely to make you the envy of the neighborhood and beloved by all your guests as well.
