Luxurious Outdoor Kitchens

It’s an exciting time to get started on your outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens add value to your home, extend the use of your home in many ways, create an outdoor oasis, and provide many other benefits. Check out these four ideas for your outside kitchen.

1. Extend the use of your indoor space to the outside

One of the most popular reasons people create outdoor rooms is to extend the use of their homes without modifying anything inside. You can have a complete outdoor custom-built kitchen.

For your outdoor kitchen, consider having an outdoor oven that’s built into a red brick countertop. Complete your outdoor kitchen with a sink. A gazebo or other type of covering can be used to cover your outdoor kitchen and seating area. A company like Patio Enclosures can help you cover your outdoor space.

2. Create a fun family space that’s functional

It’s important to make time for loved ones. The backyard provides one of the most fun places around the home to enjoy. Your backyard already has so many fun aspects about it. It’s only natural that it would be the best place to create an outdoor kitchen that’s also fun to use.

For your kitchen, think fun meets functional. You can use a grill, have an outdoor pizza oven built, or have both. You can barbecue or have a fun night where everyone makes their own pizzas. Arrange a large seating area, which can be an outdoor L-sectional couch that wraps around a table. Put out a variety of toppings across the table so everyone can create their custom pizzas.

3. Throw all of your parties outside

One of the best things about creating outdoor kitchens is that they’re a breeze to clean. Some things you can literally spray down with a hose after you’re done entertaining. Since you can cook outside, the inside of your home can stay cool and clean.

With entertaining, think of an oven, stove, or other cooking space that will meet your needs. A grill or pizza oven works well for this type of kitchen too. You will want to focus on having ample seating, and you don’t have to have just one spot for sitting. Intersperse different seating arrangements to allow people to mix it up. Soft ambient lighting works well for entertaining. Consider installing wall sconces, spotlighting, or solar string lighting from a pergola.

4. Create a secret place for you to retreat

If cooking is your passion or way to have some alone time, you need an outdoor kitchen just for you. Install walls around your kitchen area to provide you with a private place to retreat. A nice marble countertop, sink, and stove can provide the best place to prepare your breakfast. You can arrange a seating area of one bistro table on a deck. Create a scenic area with plants, a fountain, or pond to look at while you cook.
