Because everything tastes better alfresco.
Open-air kitchens with island seating, full wet bars and dedicated grilling stations; these are the things outdoor living dreams are made of. And as the outdoor living trend heats up, they’re becoming not only increasingly popular, but also increasingly accessible. Homeowners across America are taking the backyard BBQ to new levels — embracing alfresco features from pizza ovens and blender stations to luxury cabinets and countertops. And they’re enjoying an extended living area, increased property values and an enhanced quality of life as their reward.
“Outdoor living has benefits to the quality of your life,” says Russ Faulk, chief designer and head of product for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. “Cooking and dining are two of the most enjoyable outdoor living activities. The food tastes better, and moving the cooking outdoors can take the drudgery out of preparing everyday meals.”
Of course, creating your ideal outdoor kitchen requires careful planning — particularly when it comes to layout, utilities and materials. So, it’s important to fully develop your vision and evaluate your options before putting your plans in motion.
