More Brits adding outdoor kitchens to their gardens – will you join them?
Now that spring has well and truly sprung, and with the evenings getting much lighter, you may well be looking for ways you can make the most of your garden this summer. If you love entertaining at home, have you considered creating an outdoor garden kitchen at your home in Bournemouth?
If so, you’re not alone. According to an article from yahoo! life, outdoor cooking is growing in popularity in the UK, despite our unpredictable weather, and it’s a trend that experts in this space expect to continue.
The beauty of outdoor kitchens is that they can be incredibly simple – and are therefore a relatively straightforward feature to add to your home provided you have enough outdoor space. If you simply want to test the waters and see how much you use a garden kitchen in Poole, the best place to start is by fitting an outdoor work surface in your garden and making use of this when you’ve got your barbecue out.
Should you find you’re using this space a great deal during the summer, you can extend your garden kitchen to include a sink for washing up, storage for utensils and plates, and even fitted outdoor appliances.
One top tip when it comes to selecting the location for your garden kitchen is to put it next to a wall, as this will provide at least some shelter from the elements.
Of course, if you’re going to be prepping your food outside, you’re also going to want space to eat outside. You could therefore consider creating an entire garden room, where your guests can relax while you’re whipping up dinner and where you can wine and dine in the open air.
Top considerations for garden rooms include the level of cover you’re going to provide over your seating area (the British weather can be changeable after all!), how you’re going to light the space and what furniture you need. In the UK, it can be great to have movable pieces of furniture, allowing you to rearrange your space as needed, not to mention store your belongings out of the worst of the winter weather.
