Why Add An Outdoor Kitchen?

Families today are busier than ever.  Because of this, they are looking for creative ways to maximize their time at home with friends and family.  While it might seem like a big enough job to keep one kitchen clean, many families are considering adding an outdoor kitchen as a way to expand their summer entertaining options. Why consider an outdoor kitchen?  Here are just a few reasons that it is one of the hottest new landscape design trends:

 

• An outdoor kitchen gives you options.  When designed by a professional, an outdoor kitchen can provide you with additional entertaining space, complete with cooking and food storage areas, as well as seating and proper lighting.  Instead of wondering where to sit large groups of people for a party, an outdoor kitchen can expand your entertaining space.

 

• Keep your home cooler.  Instead of running a hot oven to make dinner in the summer, many families enjoy the option of sitting outside to cook and to eat.  With sinks and storage areas, an outdoor kitchen can contain everything you need for a complete meal.

 

• Great for those who love to grill.  For those who love to grill, an outdoor kitchen can take basic grilling to a gourmet level.  Landscape architects have access to the finest commercial-grade grills on the market that can provide a perfect sear on steaks and chops.  Permanent natural gas lines attached to the grill eliminate the need to change propane tanks when it runs out.

 

• Less effort to entertain.  Since all of the supplies needed for an outdoor party are contained within the storage spaces of an outdoor kitchen, entertaining becomes easy.  From refrigerators and freezers to warming drawers and sinks, the interior of a home stays clean and neat while the party goes on outside.

 

• Add an interesting focal point.  For added interest, building a custom fireplace or pizza oven can take an outdoor kitchen from functional to interesting.  Not only does this increase the functionality of the space, but it provides a central location for people to gather.

 

Outdoor kitchens do more than simply upgrade a grill.  With cutting-edge culinary technology, an outdoor kitchen can transform an unused space into the perfect place to entertain.  Contact the professional designers at Exscape Designs to have your own outdoor kitchen installed this summer!
