The concept of an outdoor kitchen is relatively new concept, but one that is gaining in popularity. As more of us want to spend family time outdoors, there has been a design move toward developing outdoor space into usable space for the family. We all enjoy casual time at home relaxing, and this can be a nice addition to your entertaining. There are virtually no limits to what you can put together in the way of an outdoor kitchen, and our designers will work with you every step of the way. We are only limited by your imagination.
Depending on the space’s main use, we can incorporate many different appliances into the design. One of the important things that you will want to consider is the main use for the space, such as: partying, cooking, or any other function. It is important that we design the area around your lifestyle so you can use it to the fullest. When selecting appliances, it is also important to consider the durability of any appliances that will be kept outside. There are manufacturers that focus on this area. Stainless steel is a good material to consider because it will not be affected by rain or sunshine, and it will hold up over time. Many appliances are designed for outdoor living. The appliances that you choose are up to you. You may select a refrigerator, grill, food prep area, and even a sink. Some people even chose to install a traditional stone baked pizza oven. This can really set your entertaining apart. Imagine surprising your guests with traditional home made pizza you are making on your patio. Some even choose to install bars, breakfast tables, or even a traditional oven.
Other things that you will want to consider include elements such as heat, sound, and lighting in the kitchen area. If you are able to provide a source of heat, such as a fireplace, you will be able to extend your outdoor season. Music can add to the ambience and fun of a get together, so add sound systems to maximize the pleasure. Some speakers can even be camouflaged as rocks to blend in more. Lighting may be provided through traditional lights or through lanterns if you want to make the area cozier.
Here at Actsoftx.com, we would be honored to have the opportunity to show you the many options that you have in installing an outdoor kitchen or entertainment area. We would love to be able to put our experience to work for you. As always, you are the most important part of our remodeling team.
