Cooking in Style – Create The Ultimate Outdoor Kitchen

by | Aug 14, 2023 | Outdoor Living Spaces, Outdoor Kitchens

Within home design, outdoor living spaces have risen to popularity amongst homeowners, redefining the notion of luxurious outdoor living — having a new pool is now just a part of lavish outdoor spaces, which now include stand-out outdoor kitchens. Imagine savoring a perfectly grilled steak under the deep blue sky, surrounded by the low hum of water and the gentle rustling of leaves with friends and family — that is the magic an outdoor kitchen can bring to your home, combining the things that matter most, cooking and family. If you're a homeowner with a penchant for upgrading your outdoor living experiences, read on to discover how to create the perfect outdoor kitchen. Preparing for Design Before starting to design your kitchen and outdoor spaces, take a moment to visualize how you want this space to blend in with your lifestyle. Think of the purposes for your outdoor kitchen – will it be a larger part of your indoor cooking area, an area set for entertaining guests, or a space that ties into the rest of your current outdoor space and pool area? Understanding the intended use of this new kitchen will guide you in selecting the right materials, design specifics, and other elements to bring your vision to life. Stunning outdoor kitchen As you prepare to create your outdoor space and kitchen, consider the expertise of professionals specializing in outdoor kitchen design, like Coastal Aquatic Creations. Their experts will assist you throughout the process after the initial consultation to bring each consideration to life. It's also important to think about the following factors as you prepare for the consultation:

  • Budget range
  • Desired materials
  • Examples of other outdoor spaces
  • A specific area where the design will take place
The Layout Similarly to indoor kitchens, your outdoor one’s layout is essential during the design stage. With the assistance of an expert, start by identifying the appliances you wish (and want the most) to integrate — a grill, sink, stone countertop, and possibly a mini-fridge for added food storage. The arrangement of these features should also make it easier for you to cook and prepare food all in one area. To make this area more functional, consider creating distinguishable zones for food preparation, cooking, and serving. Aesthetic and Materials The hidden allure of an outdoor kitchen doesn't end with making it functional — arguably, the best part of designing any new space in your home is configuring the right aesthetics and design cohesion. Next, you will choose materials that can withstand exposure to the outdoor elements and weather while adding a touch of elegance to your space. Natural stone countertops give off an elegant touch, while weather-resistant cabinetry will be as durable as possible. It's also important to integrate design features and touches that match the surrounding landscape and architecture so that the new outdoor space does not look out of place.Addition of an outdoor kitchen Elevating Your Outdoor Living Experience with 3D Imagery One of the most remarkable features that set Coastal Aquatic Creations apart from other pool construction companies is our range of 3D design services.
