Summer is just around the corner, and it is time you start thinking about transforming your garden into an al-fresco dining area! The smell of something cooking on the barbecue or a pizza sizzling in the pizza oven is enough to excite anyone! In recent years, especially after the COVID pandemic, many people have been looking to make the most of their outdoor living area by transforming this space to include a stunning kitchen area for all the family to enjoy. Quarantine has changed the way a lot of people live and have made home improvement a top priority. Outdoor spaces can really play a big part especially if you want to entertain whilst keeping socially distant.
What does this include?
These areas can typically include pizza ovens, barbecues, sinks, bars and, of course, stunning worktops to put the finishing touch on top. In addition, depending on the size of your outdoor space, you can have either a small worktop with a built-in barbecue or a large kitchen area with an island. Regardless of the space, we would ensure every sized outdoor kitchen has a perfectly fitted worktop!
What material should you use?
We would recommend either a natural granite or a porcelain-based material as your worktop for any outdoor area. The aim of anything outdoor is good durability and these materials have a high UV resistance. Quartz can be a tricky material as, if is not UV stable, then the sun could discolour the surface over time.
In conclusion, an outdoor kitchen is the perfect addition to any home. It is the perfect way to entertain family and friends this summer (and hopefully Spring!). By investing in an outdoor kitchen, you will end up investing in your own wellness. This will allow you to enjoy the beautiful outdoors which can lead to reduced stress levels. Go al fresco this year!
