Outdoor kitchens are one of the hottest home renovations in the last three years. As people spend more time at home, they realize the opportunity to enjoy every part of their property, including the backyard and patio. An outdoor kitchen gives you the opportunity to cook in the summer breeze and share outdoor meals with friends and family.

Of course, a kitchen doesn’t just manifest on your patio. You’ll need to create a covered patio area, install your choice of kitchen appliances, and run utility lines like water and electricity to the new kitchen.

 

Increase Your Living Space & Property Value

The two biggest advantages to a patio kitchen are increased living space and a boost in your property value. 

First, you get to enjoy a breezy kitchen, time in the sunshine, and meals in the fresh air. You can eat under the stars or share a leisurely afternoon. You can expand your patio kitchen from the living room with a wide sliding door, make a passthrough window to the indoor kitchen, and create a beautiful flow to increase the space you enjoy.

A patio kitchen can also effectively increase your square footage because it is developed space. Not only is the kitchen itself inherently valuable, it increases your property value. Outdoor living is extremely popular and your patio kitchen is only the first step. The next step is an outdoor dining or comfortable seating area, lighting, and shady structures to enhance the space. You can even create shady napping spots, sun-dappled outdoor working alcoves, and fun outdoor crafting stations – just to name a few. 

 

Enjoy Time Outdoors with Family and Friends

With a patio kitchen, you can enjoy every comfortable season outside with your family. You can enjoy the gentle peace of an outdoor breakfast together, the fun of a barbecue summer afternoon, or cool evenings dining under the stars.

You can also turn your patio kitchen into a place to host events with friends and neighbors. It’s the perfect place for a summer cookout, a birthday party, or a special celebration. Your patio kitchen naturally flows from the living room into backyard fun, whether that’s watching the kids play in the sprinkler or setting upy ard games for an at-home event.
