Nevertheless, in this article we will strive to help you make the best decision, as to build the outdoor kitchen that fits your needs, budget and tastes. Having an outdoor kitchen with the right design will freshen-up the look of your backyard, add value to your property and make you weekends more thrilling. Just imagine cooking a steak or backing a homemade pizza, while watching your kids playing in your garden. Isn’t this a great image, that you want to turn into reality? If you are determined to make it happen, you should be aware that the outdoor kitchen designs will cost about 1000 – 5000 dollars, according to its size and appliances you are going to use.
The outdoor kitchens can be built in many different shapes, from a basic barbeque pit, up to complex outdoor kitchen islands, having an U or L shape. Irrespective of your choice we recommend you to add certain features, like a sink, a grill and a granite countertop, as to ease your work. These features and appliances are not expensive, but their impact is significant, as you should aim to build an outdoor kitchen with the same amount of comfort you have inside your house.
When planing the outdoor kitchen designs, you should make sure that it will have an area for chopping vegetables and lots of storage spaces. Although it might seem a minor aspect, we can say from our own experience, that having outside cabinets is very useful, as it will save you from many trips to your kitchen (to bring the meat, vegetables, beverages, utensils). If you afford, you should also consider equipping the outdoor kitchen with a stainless steel gas oven, a small refrigerator and a grill. Nevertheless, if you are under a tight budget, you can still turn your dream into reality, by choosing a more traditional outdoor kitchen design (use bricks and mortar to build a small bbq).
