We understand that each backyard is different. None of our outdoor kitchens are one-size-fits-all—we create a space customized to your specifications. When planning your outdoor living space, there are numerous features to consider:
- Grill – When it comes to your grill, you need to choose whether you want an appliance that is built into your kitchen or one that can be moved throughout. Size is also something to consider—are you going to be cooking for a family of four or constantly having big BBQs where a larger size might be beneficial.
- Countertops – Is your prep going to be done indoors or outdoors? The purpose of your outdoor kitchen space it to create an outdoor area where you can prep, cook, and eat your meals. Plan your countertops accordingly with the amount of space your needs require.
- Cabinets – While you may not think cabinets are necessary, they greatly reduce your trips to and from your indoor kitchen. Instead of sharing the same cooking tools as your indoor kitchen, you will be able to store the adequate cooking tools and dishware in your outdoor kitchen.
- Lighting – Although the summer allows for more sunlight into the evening, there still comes a time when the sun will set. Whether you’re preparing food, eating a family dinner, or having a few drinks with friends, lighting can make the experience much more enjoyable!
- Sink – Food preparation and clean up require a sink with running water. Don’t carry your dirty outdoor dishware and cooking utensils inside just to have to bring them back outside to put away in the cabinets.
- Refrigerator – Depending on the needs of you and your family, you can decide whether a small or full-sized fridge is the best fit for your Chicagoland area outdoor kitchen. This all depends on how much you plan to store outdoors.
- Flooring – Concrete, natural stone, brick, and tile are good options for outdoor flooring. You don’t want a high-maintenance product outside, but you do want it to be stylish and weather-resistant.
