Here\u2019s a few tips to get you started:<\/p>\n As you plan your dream culinary space and start coming up with outdoor kitchen ideas be sure to think \u201csafety first.\u201d When it comes to what you\u2019ll be walking and standing on while cooking, climate plays a big part when choosing the best option for outdoor flooring. Safety and convenience are two important things to consider when brainstorming for your outdoor kitchen designs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n Memphis Pro Built-In with beautiful outdoor kitchen flooring<\/p>\n After you consider the safest material to use, look into different outdoor kitchen design ideas and what fits with your budget. Many experts still recommend concrete as the go-to for both its affordability and durability. Concrete also allows for flexibility when it comes to kitchen aesthetics because there are many ways to improve its appearance such as stamping, coloring, or adding a rock-salt finish.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also important to consider what type of flooring you\u2019ve used for other outdoor landscaping so you can choose a kitchen floor that matches or complements those other spaces. \u00a0It can be overwhelming to sift through all the possible designs and ideas yourself, so here are some of the more popular selections:<\/p>\n Another crucial part of the floor plan and versatility of your outdoor kitchen are appliances. Make sure you know what you want, as well as the sizes, because they determine the size and design of the kitchen itself. And, if you\u2019re planning on a grill, (and why wouldn\u2019t you be?) it\u2019s recommended to purchase one that is higher quality, as they last longer and are typically higher-performing (we recommend a Memphis Wood Fire Grill<\/a>, but we\u2019re a bit biased). Here\u2019s a standard list of appliances to consider:<\/p>\n You can\u2019t go wrong either way, but the favoring opinion is <\/span>built-in grills<\/span><\/a> for outdoor kitchens because they often offer a sleeker more professional look. The downside is if you move, it\u2019s much harder to bring your grill with you. <\/span>Freestanding grills<\/span><\/a> have the advantage of mobility but lack the sleek look of their integrated cousins.<\/span><\/p>\n A useful appliance you could add to your outdoor kitchen arsenal especially if your outdoor kitchen is far from your indoor kitchen. It has many benefits such as:<\/p>\n You\u2019re going to need space for prep work, platters, tools, and eating even if you have a separate seating area. Also, it\u2019s good to have varying heights for counter space which allows for multiple tasks.<\/p>\n There are three traditional height options:<\/p>\n It\u2019s best to have a mix of the various countertops included in your outdoor kitchen design as it allows for maximum functionality and flexibility.<\/p>\n Storage is also a must-have, and it needs to be waterproof and durable to survive the elements. We usually recommend getting more cabinetry\/storage than you think you\u2019ll need (as long as it works aesthetically, of course).\u00a0 Memphis Grills offers a wide range of Doors & Drawers all made of 304 stainless steel to match our grills. Each drawer comes with soft closures and slides and can hold up to 100 lbs. BBQ tools and entertaining supplies have an odd way of accumulating in a well-used outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n Mother nature is on her own time and often won\u2019t tell the weatherman what\u2019s going to happen next, so it\u2019s smart to invest in a roof or cover for your kitchen. There are numerous variations of canopies, umbrellas, and pergolas that might fit the bill. This can be one of the most expensive parts of the project so if you\u2019re on a tight budget look for a movable cantilevered umbrella.<\/p>\n Tip: <\/strong>Get one with a removable cover so it can be washed.<\/p>\n Many high-end outdoor kitchens require separate electrical, plumbing, or gas lines brought directly to them. It\u2019s important to be aware of the local building codes as well, and each city and county has its own regulations. This is where hiring a professional for your project can come in handy as they\u2019re required to be up to date on local codes. If you choose to DIY, you will want to speak with your local government as they will face you in the right direction.<\/p>\n Your budget may not allow you to create your dream outdoor kitchen just yet, but it\u2019s still a good idea to include everything you want in your layout so you can at least prepare for future additions. This means doing things such as:<\/p>\n As you can see, building an outdoor kitchen is no small task. It takes a lot of time and money to get it done properly, but it\u2019s all crucial if you want to make those outdoor days full of food and friends possible. There are options and upgrades for every budget, so with a little elbow grease or help from a professional, your days of fun and sun are just around the corner.<\/p>\n For more design ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the photos in our Outdoor Kitchen Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n As you\u2019ve seen, there\u2019s a lot that goes into creating an outdoor kitchen and there are endless possibilities for designing an outdoor cooking space.
