If you’re looking to design and build a new outdoor kitchen for your home, you have a lot of different options available to you. From grills and warming drawers to pizza ovens and refrigerators, the possibilities are endless. So, we’ve compiled some of our favorite outdoor kitchen design ideas that not only add functionality to your outdoor space but visual appeal as well.
Kitchen Herb Garden
If you’re into using fresh herbs and spices in your cooking, what better way to do this than to grow your own herbs? Include a raised garden bed as part of your Maryland outdoor kitchen design plan and you’ll have fresh herbs all throughout the growing season.
Keep Entertaining in Mind
If your main concern is an outdoor grilling and cooking area, don’t neglect the need for entertainment. We suggest installing a small sink and outdoor beverage refrigerator so you have more space for outdoor entertaining in addition to cooking. Along these same lines, build an island with stool seating for an area to enjoy drinks and appetizers while the grill is running.
Install a Pizza Oven
Your options truly are limitless when it comes to the types of outdoor cooking equipment you can include in your outdoor kitchen design. For example, you can install an outdoor oven for your kitchen that can be used for a variety of tasks such as cooking pizza. It’s a great way to add some variety to the ability of your outdoor kitchen and reduce the usage of your indoor oven during the summer.
Deciding on the Right Grill
Your choice of outdoor grill will truly help to set the tone for the overall outdoor space. The grill will be one of the main centerpieces to your outdoor kitchen. By spending a little more to get something of a higher grade, you will have a better looking and performing grill that will last longer.
Warming Drawers
During larger cook-outs and get-togethers a warming drawer will be your saving grace. Once the hot dogs and burgers are cooked, you can drop them into the warming drawer so they stay warm while you’re grilling the vegetables or other items.
