Having an outdoor kitchen is a dream for many. The thought of holding outdoor parties with you flipping those delicious smelling baby back ribs with ice-cold margaritas on the side, that my friend is the life. But before you daydream about the parties you will hold, focus first on the planning of your amazing outdoor kitchen.

1. Have a plan.

What do you want your outdoor kitchen to look like? How much budget do you have for this project? If you want your dream kitchen, then snap back to reality first and focus on the details. 

2. Pick out your materials.

Once you have a clear picture of what you want, along with your workable budget, it’s time to pick out the appliances and materials. Always consider the durability of your appliances. For example, apron front farmhouse style sinks are the best for outdoor kitchens. Choose a counter also that will endure the changing weather.  

3. Maximize your area.

You want to make full use of every space available to you. So when creating a layout, talk to your architect so that a small area can appear big and spacious. Remember, you need a big space for you and your friends.
