Make Your Kitchen Your Own
If you’re like most homeowners, your outdoor kitchen will become a central hub for parties and family time. Several particular features will thus be of particular interest to you. Which of these potential additions or renovations inspires you the most?
- Pergolas or Patio Covers
- Dining Area
- Pizza Oven
- Counter Space
- Lighting
- Cabinet Style
- Bar
1) Pergolas or Patio Covers
While you’re outdoors, a pergola or patio cover is a great way to add cohesiveness and functionality to your space. By customizing the architectural elements to coordinate with the style of your home, your outdoor covering can essentially become an extended living space.
2) Dining Area
No outdoor kitchen is complete without an outdoor dining room to entertain your guests alongside your grilling station. Complete your dining space with matching chair cushions and outdoor lighting for your next party.
Pro Tip: Not every entertaining area is created the same. Does your family prefer outdoor cooking or gazing at the stars? Or maybe both? Design your backyard so that your whole family will have something to enjoy.
3) Pizza Oven
Why wait to have pizza delivered when you can cook it yourself? Install a stainless steel pizza oven to turn your outdoor kitchen into a functional and exclusive pizzeria.
4) Counter Space
One of the best kitchen ideas to add to your list is the use of your counter space. From the type of counter materials to choosing the right built-in appliances, your counters are a key part of your cooking space.
5) Lighting
You can have a luxurious outdoor kitchen by adding lights to accentuate your space. Whether it’s a light fan over your dining table or a string of lights across your living room space, outdoor lighting brings life and functionality to your nighttime parties.
6) Cabinet Style
Whether you’re in a rural or urban area, your cabinet style is an important element of your outdoor kitchen. For some people, it’s the main feature you remember! Choose your cabinet color, door handle, and material type to give your patio kitchen a style all its own.
7) Bar
Do you want your outdoor kitchen to be unique? Add an attached bar area with coordinating bar stools to make drinks, serve food, and entertain guests. For some homeowners, your bar area could even double as a prep area for grilling!
