How Permeable Pavers Work
Have you ever wondered what makes permeable pavers … permeable? How do they work? A common misconception in the hardscaping world is that a permeable paver allows water directly through […]
One of the most important things in any living space is a kitchen area. Outdoor spaces aren’t any different. As outdoor living spaces are on the rise, the need for having a well-equipped kitchen for outdoor cooking has only grown.
At Western Interlock, we are committed to providing you with high-quality paving stones for whatever you need (and the tools to use them).
Every kitchen needs countertops. As you select countertops for your outdoor kitchen, select something made of durable material that can withstand the weather’s changing elements and frequent use.
Options such as granite, concrete, and natural stone can be beautiful and durable—standing up to the heat, stains, and weather.
What supplies will you want to keep stocked in your kitchen? Plan for plenty of storage space to keep the cooking utensils and supplies you will need. Your cabinets, drawers, and shelves should all be suitable for outdoor use.
Even if you are planning a small outdoor kitchen, think creatively to maximize your space and use it as efficiently as possible.
Appliances for an outdoor space should be very high quality so that you can depend on them for a long time. Stainless steel appliances are some of the best for outdoor spaces, whether you are choosing a grill, refrigerator, or sink. Invest in efficient cooking systems, if possible, but select appliances that will meet the needs of your outdoor kitchen and your personal budget.
As you design your outdoor kitchen, you should consider a layout that is efficient and easy to use. Do you prefer an L-shaped, U-shaped, or island design? Most likely, it will depend on what you will be using the kitchen for.
As you consider design options, think through the work area you want and how people will flow through and sit in the space.
The hardscape materials you use to build your kitchen should be high quality. If you want your outdoor cooking area to be durable and attractive for a long time, you will need pavers you can depend on.
Pavers can be used to create primary foundational elements in your kitchen, such as islands, walls, and countertops. The ease of customization and the quality of pavers from WI make it simple to create designs that will make your outdoor kitchen both beautiful and functional.
The finishing touches to an outdoor kitchen, no matter how small, can dramatically affect your space. Consider adding decorative lighting, outdoor rugs, and landscape features to add to the welcoming aura of your outdoor kitchen.
Building an outdoor kitchen is the perfect way to add a warm gathering space to your yard. As you prepare for the process, know that you can contact us at WI at any point for support and materials as you begin.
