Updating Your Outdoor Kitchen After the Summer

If you’re fortunate enough to have an outdoor kitchen, chances are that it’s seen a lot of use over the summer. Long warm nights make for the perfect time to take your meal prep outdoors. Now that the fall season is upon us, though, it’s time to do some work so you can keep your kitchen cooking for years to come. These handy upgrades will improve your space and make your outdoor kitchen even better for next summer.

Add an Island

Kitchen islands are so incredibly useful, and if you don’t have one, you’re probably wishing that you did. Adding an island will give you more counter space to set cooking utensils, prepare food, or even enjoy a full meal. Opt for stainless steel for easy cleanup and durability. It’ll also give your kitchen a fresh, modern look. Islands can serve as convenient overflow seating when you have lots of guests, so consider buying a few barstools that complement the rest of your decor.

Bring in a New Appliance

Chances are, if you’re cooking outdoors, you probably already have a grill. But what about a specialty appliance? For example, if you love barbecue, consider purchasing a smoker. Or if pizza’s more your thing, get your very own oven. These types of appliances are too big to have inside your home, but they’re perfect for an outdoor kitchen. You’ll overhaul your culinary game and get to venture into a new realm of expertise.

Install a Covering

If you don’t already have one, this is the time to set up an awning or other protection from the elements. Putting up a roof will make your time in your kitchen much more enjoyable, because you won’t have to worry about those summer afternoon showers while you’re outside at the grill. It will also protect your appliances and furniture from sun damage and fading.

Update Landscaping

If your outdoor kitchen is relatively new, you may not have had time yet to landscape the yard around it. Or maybe you’ve just been meaning to update the area for a while but haven’t had the time. Either way, fall is the perfect time to do this. You can prepare flower beds, dig out space for a pond or fountain, or create a patio or stone walkway. Whatever you choose to do, the cooler temperatures will make your work much more pleasant. Once the winter frost is behind you, you can then fill in your newly updated space with whatever plants you choose.

Upgrade your outdoor kitchen now as the season wraps up so all you’ll have to do when the weather warms up is again is enjoy your space.
