Having an outdoor kitchen is one of those luxuries that completely change the way you entertain. Gone are the days where you have a simple cook-out in your backyard (not that we’re knocking those). Having an outdoor kitchen allows you to grill a couple of steaks, prepare the salad, and pour drinks, all while chatting to your guests.
It’s a fantastic upgrade to your property and the outdoor cook’s dream.
We all love being outdoors during summer and perhaps in spring and fall too. Having an outdoor kitchen is such a great way to utilize your patio to its fullest, all year round. You’ll be able to experience all the luxuries and comforts of your indoor kitchen, outside. From grilling to keeping food warm and even storing wine, an outdoor kitchen will completely transform your dinner parties.
It’s also a great way to create another functional living space on your property. If you already have an outdoor dining area or lounge on your patio, adding a kitchen will elevate your outdoor living space and make life so much easier. You might never entertain indoors again!
When you’re building anything outdoors, you want it to last against the elements. A wooden kitchen is perhaps not the most durable. Paving, however, is made to last. A paved kitchen is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it’s also extremely durable.
From top to tail, you can create your outdoor kitchen using interlocking pavers that last and save you money in the end.
You might not be thinking of selling right now, but thinking ahead is always a good idea. Extending the size of your home and all its living areas is a great way to increase the value of your property. This includes your outdoor living area.
Yes, it may be a costly exercise in the beginning, but you’ll get to enjoy the fruits of your labor and you’ll see the value when you sell.
The great thing about building an outdoor kitchen is that it’s entirely your project. Whether you want a 5-star, luxury kitchen or a simple one with just the basics, it’s entirely up to you (and your budget).
There are some standard layouts – island, straight line, or u-shaped, but the size is up to you. You can also decide to have storage space and appliances built into the structure.
You can also decide whether you want to add an overhead cover, like a roof or pergola. You can really have fun here, like adding in a pizza oven for some delicious authentic pizza nights.
Cleaning and maintaining your outdoor living space shouldn’t be a mission. Pavers make cleaning and maintenance a dream. Since pavers are a hard material, they won’t break or chip easily, so you won’t need to replace them every season. And, when you do need to, it’s very easy to replace just the broken pavers.
