“Outdoor Kitchens” BY: your friends at American Casual Living
It is said that people gather where they are most comfortable, and the outdoor kitchen is fast becoming a popular gathering point for entertaining family and friends. Fortunately, living in Georgia affords us year-round enjoyment of the outdoors. Homeowners are leveraging the investment in their homes by creating comfortable and functional outdoor living spaces.
With imagination and creativity, homeowners can extend their personality and design preferences to outdoor living spaces. From casual fireside to “al fresco” dining, to outdoor kitchens – outdoor living areas for family fun, entertaining friends, quiet enjoyment and relaxation, are within the reach of every homeowner. The “outdoor room” is a central theme of the outdoor living lifestyle. As homeowners embrace outdoor living, demand for quality outdoor products continues to grow. Fueled by advancements in outdoor materials – particularly fade resistant fabrics – the outdoor room has evolved from luxury amenity to mainstream feature.
An outdoor room will often blend seating comfort with cooking convenience in an “outdoor kitchen.” Grills, smokers and other outdoor kitchen amenities enable you to prepare flavorful meals with greater variety and sophistication than is often possible indoors. With planning and guidance, a homeowner can successfully navigate the myriad of options available for an outdoor kitchen.
An outdoor kitchen can be a do-it-yourself project, however, with the variety in quality, selection, design and functionality of outdoor kitchen products, the guidance of an outdoor living specialist may deliver a more efficient and ultimately less stressful experience. Finally, buy quality and avoid disappointment. We speak from experience. Your outdoor kitchen must withstand the elements and should ideally be constructed with materials that deliver optimum performance in all conditions. For example, grilling components constructed with rust and fatigue resistant commercial-grade stainless metal perform best. Homeowners “investing in place” seek greater comfort, utility and value from all areas of their homes. An outdoor kitchen represents an affordable investment that increases the value of your home and enhances the enjoyment of your outdoor living spaces.
