It seems as if we just rolled the proverbial credits from last summer. Well, don’t look now, but the warm seasons are again on the way! This means it’s a good idea to begin thinking about options for your outdoor space in 2023. If you’re looking to make a new addition to your landscape, consider an outdoor kitchen. But first, Promier Landscapes’ team of landscape designers compiled this list of the most popular trends and features for outdoor kitchens.
- Modular Designs: Customization is king for homeowners who seek to enjoy outdoor kitchens. You’re no longer stuck with basic options like traditional countertops or cabinets. Modular designs provide the flexibility to make future changes, as trends evolve and shift over time. In other words, your outdoor kitchen always will be unique, modern, and true to your tastes.
- Going Green: We live in very environment-conscious times and with good reason. As a result, homeowners building outdoor kitchens often seek to use materials and appliances that show consideration for the environment. Low-flow faucets and solar-powered lights are examples of items that not only save energy but also save money for the owner in the long run. That’s a real win-win scenario!
- Outdoor Cooking: Gas grills are the single-most popular items in outdoor kitchens, as it allow you to cook large quantities of food quickly and evenly. Pizza ovens, side burners, built-in refrigerators, and outdoor dishwashers are all gaining in popularity as some of the most exciting options for kitchens outdoors.
- Bar stations: With a bar in your outdoor kitchen, it can always be happy hour. You can choose between permanent or portable bar areas that house everything from ice makers to hidden storage cabinets. Imagine the convenience of hosting guests for sporting or family events with such amazing amenities, and having the peace of mind that all your supplies are stored away.
- Remote Ease: All of these options are optimized by the technology of the times in which we live. Smart technology, like Alexa and Google Home, are great enablers for remotely adjusting lighting, temperature settings, control of the appliances themselves, and even the music providing atmosphere for your party!
