An outdoor kitchen is the easiest way to bring the convenience of the inside of your home to the beauty and openness of the outside. Here in WA, we have sunny skies, beautiful flora and fauna and temperatures that support outdoor dining nearly all-year round. There's a reason why barbecues, pools and picnics are such a big part of so many family gatherings and celebrations. By bringing your kitchen outside, you get to cook close to the action, and enjoy everything the outside has to offer along with your guests.
Make the most of your outdoor spaces
Still considering the pros and cons of your outdoor kitchen install? Here's a few things to think about:
-
Outdoor kitchens are a great way to entertain. By making use of your garden or patio, you expand the space available for guests, and socialise while you cook.
-
They can lower your energy bills. Indoor cooking appliances heat up your home, increasing your AC costs in summer. Why not take the heat outside, and save on your electricity bill, too?
-
You can cook easier and faster with guests. Inside, you may only have space for one or two people in the kitchen. Outdoors, guests can cook alongside you and assemble their own meals, for a more collaborative and enjoyable time outside.
-
They will increase the value of your home. Despite how much of West Aussie life is spent outdoors, outdoor kitchens are not the norm, so having one is a great selling point should you one day decide to sell your house.
Things to consider when planning your outdoor kitchen
The biggest restraint is of course how much space you will need. There are both expansive and compact solutions for an outdoor kitchen, so choose appliances and fittings that will best suit the area. Of course, those appliances will need electrical, water and gas supply to do their jobs, so you'll also need to consider whether there are existing connections you can make use of, or whether you will need new ones created. If you have a natural gas connection, it makes much more sense to run a line from the house, rather than struggling with propane tanks.
