How to plan your outdoor kitchen


At Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we understand how big of a project it can be planning your new outdoor kitchen. We want to let you know how fun it actually is to have this opportunity as it allows you to be creative as you want to be! Having an outdoor kitchen extends your living space, and adds a whole new direction. You want to ensure you’re planning your outdoor kitchen to be full of shade, warmth, and shelter no matter what season you may be using it in. The first step is getting a clear idea of planning how to utilize this space. Do you like to cook outside often? Are there parties you plan on having that you would like to be placed outside? Try to write down some thought about what you expect this space to be for you. This will help you have a great outline of how you can get started. 

The second step is to consider your surroundings. Now that you have ideas for your outdoor kitchen, it’s important to advise the space you have in order to get the most out of your plan. You want to not only measure the space with a measuring tape, but you want to ensure the aesthetics of it are also fitting to your home’s exterior. Remember, this is supposed to be fun! You’ll be excited once you get to sit down and select the colors, style, and textures you want to make your vision come to life. Please note, your landscape is also pretty important to take into account. For example, for a tropical location, considering bold colors to contrast the lush may be a good idea.

Another step is a very exciting one as you finally get to choose your appliances! Here at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we have a vast selection of appliances to get you started on your outdoor kitchen. You can check out our page to see what options are available to you. We want to ensure you’re getting the best when it comes to your grills/smokers since this will be your focal point in your outdoor kitchen space. Once your appliances are selected, you want to focus on the materials you’re using as you want to pay attention to the durability. Preparation for heavy rain, extreme heat, high winds, and even the possibility of snowstorms is important to note. Stainless steel is a very popular choice as it compliments those scenarios, and it’s also to easy to clean while looking sleek.

The next thing you would want to put a focus on is planning your layout. For a fee, we offer outdoor kitchen design services, if interested please call at (239) 229-9033.  There is a difference between a design on paper and a design in real life.  Our main objective is to balance the construction aspect with functionality and aesthetics.  We are in the industry, we have built hundreds of outdoor kitchens, when it comes to design, we know what works well and has longevity.

Finally, all you have left is your lighting and style by adding any fixtures you want to consider for it. It’ll make your outdoor kitchen come to life, and set an ambiance for the party you’re now ready to plan. Here at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we want you to know we have your best interest in getting exactly what you planned and need for this new venture you’re about to take on.
