Outdoor kitchens are a great way to entertain family and friends and have become quite popular. There are a number of creative outdoor kitchen ideas to consider if you want to design or upgrade your outdoor living area.
1) Charcoal Grill
Many outdoor kitchen concepts are designed around the grill. With the grill as the main entertaining area, the grill master can be a part of the gathering, rather than off by him or herself preparing the food. Big Green Eggs charcoal grills are very popular and can be installed directly into your outdoor kitchen cabinet.
2) Electric Grill
Electric grills are another excellent option. They are a faster to cook on and can feature side burners, so other dishes can be prepared at the same time.
3) Bar
A bar area with bar stools is also a great option for the entertainment hub of your outdoor living area. Most people enjoy sipping a cool drink in the shade by the pool.
4) Refrigerator/Freezer
While you and your friends and family are gathering at the bar, who wants to walk back into the house get a drink or some ice. It's much more convenient to have a refrigerator with freezer close by.
5) Sink
And as long as you’ve got a grill and fridge, you might as well complete your outdoor kitchen space with a sink and running water.
6) Television
As mentioned last week, your outdoor space is a great place to watch your favorite sports team. Why not add to your entertainment options by installing a flat screen TV on the wall?
7) Stereo system
Whether you’re relaxing by yourself, having a few friends over to hang out or hosting a big party, music always adds life and ambiance to an area.
Of course, there are many other items to consider. The possibilities are endless and choosing the right outdoor kitchen concept for your space can be fun and exciting.
