The outdoor season is on! Enjoying meals, talks, swims, baths and much more outside is officially on and it has never been more pleasant. Don’t have a proper outdoor space organized? Let me share some ideas on a very popular thing – an outdoor kitchen!

An outdoor kitchen is a great idea – you cook outdoors while entertaining your family or guests, you enjoy fresh air and fresh food and have much fun. An outdoor kitchen isn’t a necessarily big thing, you may have a small one if you are tight on space and it will still have everything you need. One of the most common combos are a grill and some surface for cutting and stuff like that – you won’t need more. As for additional things, these can be storage cabinets for all the stuff and a sink for washing veggies and fruits.

Keep an eye on the materials you are using for an outdoor kitchen: the more durable they are, the better. If you are going for wood, give it a proper stain or sealing to help it withstand harsh weather, or just stick to stone and concrete. As for the sink, prefer metal: it’s not overpriced and it’s very durable. If you often have weather changes, a small roof or a large one over the kitchen will be a cool solution of the problem. Get inspired by the ideas below and enjoy!
