Design a rustic Simple-style Barbecue Area with a focus on functionality and comfort. The space features a rectangular-shaped concrete slab with a natural stone inlay pattern, surrounded by a weathered wood fence. The walls are painted a soothing light gray (e.g. Sherwin-Williams' "Comfort Gray"), while the ceiling is left exposed with a warm, beige-colored wood beam. A large, cylindrical gas barbecue sits atop a wooden platform, accompanied by a sturdy wooden table and two metal chairs. The outdoor area is illuminated by a combination of warm, pendant-style metal lanterns and string lights, casting a cozy ambiance. The overall aesthetic is relaxed and casual, evoking a sense of summertime gatherings and outdoor entertaining.
