When crafting your ideal outdoor living space, you’re overwhelmed with options from modern-style furniture to old-fashioned stones. Obviously, you want to want a space that’s functional. However, you also want the area to wow guests. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the elements in your outdoor kitchen area.
1. Size Matters
What you’re doing with your outdoor kitchen area should reflect in the design. For instance, if you’re going to cook for a large crowd, you need a large space.
2. Think of Function
One of the main focal points—and one that’s the most functional—is the grill. You want one that fits your needs. If you don’t grill much and don’t grill foods in large quantities, you don’t need a large grill. You’ll just be wasting space and charcoal or fuel.
3. What You Grill With Matters
Make sure when you design your area, you think about what you plan on cooking with. You might want to consider a charcoal-gas combination grill if you don’t have a preference or enjoy both.
4. What You Grill
Take into consideration what you typically grill and what you’d want to grill. You can create an ideal space with burners and multiple-layer grates. Consider if you want space to hang or store your utensils for the convenience of not having to walk in between your home and outdoor kitchen.
5. Location
Location is everything when planning for a kitchen outside. You need to keep in mind whether you want it right off of your home or further away. You need to determine how much landscaping is required in order to create the space. You don’t always want a gigantic project that requires a great deal of time and money.
