First, what is your budget?
If you haven’t decided on a budget, stop what you’re doing and get that figured out. No, seriously. Stop. Your budget is your guideline for your outdoor kitchen plan. Without a budget, you can’t figure out what materials you can afford, how big you want your kitchen to be, and how much you’re willing to spend on labor.
If it helps, create a spreadsheet of all your monthly costs so that you can determine how much you can put aside for your new outdoor kitchen.
How big is your outdoor space?
You want your outdoor kitchen to flow seamlessly with the rest of your yard. So if you have a small yard, you might want to think twice about having a kitchen that’s going to take up all the space. If you need help determining what will be best, you can always speak to a contractor for expert advice.
What do you want?
Not all outdoor kitchens are created equal. You can make your kitchen as extravagant or as simple as you want. Some of our favorite additions you can add to your outdoor kitchen plan include:
- Fully functional bar
- Pizza oven
- Gas-fired stove top
