Adding an outdoor kitchen to your landscaping design is a fun way to bring beauty and functionality to your yard. However, it’s easy to make mistakes along the way that cost you in the long run.
Here are three outdoor kitchen design mistakes you should avoid:
- Poor planning – for example, not factoring in enough countertop space, placing your cooking area (grill) next to your cooling area (fridge), or having your grilling area facing away from your dinner guests.
- Forgetting about storage – the last thing you want is to keep running inside to get items for cooking or serving so ensure you have outdoor cupboards and a refrigerator.
- Not thinking about your electricity needs – you’ll need electricity in your outdoor kitchen to power up your cooking appliances, e.g. your blender, and also your lighting to enable to use your kitchen into the evening. Ensure these are waterproofed for outdoor use.
