Are You Planning An Outdoor Kitchen?
Have you been to model homes of gorgeous houses that have an outdoor kitchen as part of the floor plan? If not, you might have seen outdoor kitchens featured in home and garden decorating magazines. Either way, if you have decided that you want to have an outdoor kitchen added to your backyard and patio area, from choosing the floor and the furniture to arranging for a gas barbecue installation, here are some ideas that might help you to plan both an attractive and a usable area you can enjoy with your family and friends.
The Floor And The Furniture - Selecting the floor for your outdoor kitchen might be a good place to start. Have you seen faux painted concrete? It's pretty remarkable! For example, if you want the look of Mexican tile, the look of Italian marble, the look of brick, or the look of a pebble stone road, that can happen with faux painted cement. The great part about cement flooring is that it is very affordable and will last for a very long time.
It's also super easy to keep clean, as you can just sweep it and hose it off. Think of the look you want when you choose the furniture for your outdoor kitchen patio area. For example, for a Mexican feeling, consider black wrought iron. For a bit of a country feel, think of choosing rustic wooden furniture for your patio area.
The Kitchen Area - Think of having a gas barbecue installed in your new outdoor kitchen. By doing so, you will more than likely always be able to depend on it working well when you want to grill anything from fajita meat to corn-on-the-cob. Gas barbecue installations are so easy to do that the job will be done in a short time. In fact, if the installation starts in the morning, you will probably be able to use it by noontime. Think of having the gas barbecue placed in a beautiful brick setting, just to add interest to the area.
As you plan the outdoor kitchen, just think of mimicking what you have indoors. For instance, you'll more than likely want access to a refrigerator and to a sink. Consider, too, having storage shelves added where you can keep the utensils that you will need when you use your gas barbecue, serving pieces and even things like the seasonings you will use.
