Outdoor kitchen design mandates thoughtful planning. Consider space, functionality, and layout. Essential zones include food prep, cooking, and socializing. Like indoor kitchens, appliances and storage shape its layout, while countertops, lighting, and accessories dictate aesthetics. The kitchen, historically the home's core, extends this role to outdoor spaces. Modern grill masters demand more than mere grills. Contemporary designs feature gas burners, diverse grills, ceramic smokers, and versatile ovens.
Outdoor kitchen construction requires careful planning and design before beginning installation. It is important to think about the space available, function and the layout the kitchen will have. A well planned outdoor kitchen should have functional zones for food preparation, cooking, and socializing with family, friends and guests.
Just as for an indoor kitchen, appliances and storage will often define the layout of the area, while countertop choices, lighting and accessories will form the aesthetic.
Just as the kitchen has always been the heart of the home, the outdoor kitchen is quickly becoming the heart of the backyard outdoor living space.
Today’s outdoor grill master isn’t happy with just a standard grill. Modern outdoor kitchen design quite often includes multiple cooking surfaces including gas burners, gas or charcoal grills, ceramic smokers, and wood-burning or gas ovens.
Stainless steel doors and drawers are popular because they are resistant to rot, weather, and insects. Stainless also adds a striking look to coordinate with grills and appliances. Over time, some stains will appear on the surface, but can easily be removed with a stainless steel cleaner, making them look as good as new.
