Outdoor Kitchens In Kalamazoo, MI

Proximity - The heart of the home is the kitchen, and this still applies to an outdoor area! Especially with an outdoor kitchen, you'll need prime access to the interior kitchen, having the outdoor kitchen as an extension of the home is the perfect way to achieve this.

Shelter Structures - Whether it be a pergola or a pavilion, shelter structures will allow you to enjoy your outdoor space in nearly any type of weather. Don't forget your lighting! Lighting becomes more important when you are underneath a structure.

Material - Many homeowners are choosing to build their outdoor kitchens out of masonry. Stonework really creates an aesthetic that can't be found in prefab work. When choosing a stone to use, consider the 'stain resistance' and durability of the stone. Where you want to use bluestone, may not be the best location.

Electronics - Another trend is incorporating electronics. Docking systems for iPad's, iPod's, smartphones, built in speakers and stereo systems, flat screen televisions, projectors...the list is endless!
