If you are one of the people who have a large garden, or simply have free space in your garden: an outdoor kitchen is a perfect idea to build in it. During the summer it provides the opportunity to cook outside and cool off, and at the same time gives the opportunity to be outside enjoying the weather! Even for parties, family gatherings, etc., this idea is something you definitely won’t regret.

Oh, the grill!

You will first need to arm yourself with a good grill. It’s the key element! This can be great if you plan to cook a lot in it, and if not it is also useful if you have a large family. It is important to keep in mind what you will be using this space for. And this way you can buy the appropriate grill. It should not even be a grill itself, but you can buy an outdoor kitchen that goes with the design you want. Another important element is that you must build space for cooking. With the same amount in mind that you bought the grill with: whether you are going to need a lot or little space, whether you want space to refrigerate / store outside, and more.

Enhanced Seating for your Outdoor Kitchen

Comfort must go hand in hand with design. For an outdoor kitchen it is important to include spaces to sit. These can be armchairs, where people can wait and share while cooking. And also a space to eat as a table or a breakfast area. The latter can be multipurpose and serve as a bar too if you are interested in one. Depending on the design you want to have, you can also include other options such as hammocks, “bean bags” and mats. Remember that this addition to your home is not only for fun once built, but in the process you have to have fun too!

Design & Extras

One of the funniest parts: the design! Here it is important to emphasize that the help of a professional is necessary. In terms of building the ranch for the outdoor kitchen or if you need to make any modifications to your house for this, it is important to consult a professional to be able to do everything responsibly and safely. On pages like Pinterest there are many results for the design of this new space, you can search for bohemian, modern, minimalist style and more. Be creative!

Building an outdoor kitchen will not only provide you with a new family-friendly space within your home, but will also add value to your property if you plan to sell it in the future. At NATIVU we promote investing wisely, and this idea seems like a “win-win” situation!
