Stanley Tucci’s Outdoor Space Is a Rustic, Lush Paradise
In case you didn’t know, actor Stanley Tucci is also a mixologist, as seen on his Instagram. Since a video of the star mixing a drink for his wife, Felicity, went viral over the pandemic, he has graced the world with more clips of him concocting alcoholic beverages on social media. While most of his mixing is done in the gorgeous kitchen of his London home, last week, he welcomed his followers into an outdoor space on his stunning property.
The urban oasis features a stunning, organic-feeling kitchen designed with wood panels and what looks like a soapstone countertop. Shelves jut out from the wood slats, housing everything from potted plants to rustic decor, and built-in lighting likely comes in handy for nighttime gatherings.
As Tucci offers step-by-step instructions on how to mix the perfect Pimms, a drink introduced to him by his wife (who happens to be the older sister of his “The Devil Wears Prada” costar Emily Blunt), you can’t help but glance around at the other design details in the lush paradise.
In addition to potted plants everywhere, it appears as though the Tucci family are the proud owners of a wood fired pizza oven, which effortlessly blends into the space. The outdoor haven is proof that creating the perfect outdoor space doesn’t require a ton of square footage — just purposeful design choices.
Stanley’s indoor cooking and drink mixing spaces are just as impressive as his outdoor kitchen, with beautiful blue cabinetry complemented with brushed gold knobs and white marble countertops that extend into the backsplash.
Outdoor space use isn’t limited to just summer, so refresh yours for al fresco cooking and entertaining for the upcoming fall season. And follow Tucci’s lead for design inspo.
