6 Essentials for your Outdoor Kitchen
Written by faith | 0The outdoor kitchen continues as a prime space for homeowners with many opting to customize and remodel their patio and deck . As an interior designer in Seattle, WA, my clients can use this space nearly year round due to the climate (rain cooperating). This part of the home is a magnet for entertaining resulting in customization. Gather your friends and family for grilling, wine tasting and special events.
As homeowners increase the use of outdoor spaces, I see a workstation that combines essential elements for cooking and entertaining ease. There are many more options and I encourage readers to explore them at Better Homes and Gardens and BHG.com.
Here are my six essentials for an outdoor kitchen.
- A roomy countertop for preparation and cooking.
- A solid material such as durable granite for the counter and backsplash (easy to clean and maintain).
- Storage such as stainless steel drawers for tools and items used frequently.
- Task lighting for evening grilling.
- Refrigeration for beverages, condiments, food. (Locate one suitable for outdoor use).
- A mobile cart for serving, trays, napkins, flatware, condiments and all the rest.
