Stuck inside in the bitter Denver cold? Why not put those
outdoor daydreams to good use, planning for a revamped outdoor living space that’ll have you grilling garden-side and dining
alfresco come spring?
Why an Outdoor
Kitchen?
Today’s families gravitate toward outdoor entertaining, which offers a comfortable, relaxing place to cook while surrounded by family and friends. In addition, cooking outdoors not only keeps your house tidy with fast, simple clean-up, but keeps heat out of your home as well, reducing utility bills. What’s more, the National Association of Home Builders estimates outdoor kitchens can add as much 130% of their cost to your home’s purchase price. How’s that for a fantasy made reality?

Dream-Up an
Outdoor Kitchen with All the Bells & Whistles
●
Built-In Grill with Smoker
A built-in grill can be the centerpiece of an outdoor kitchen, with the sleek looks of indoor kitchens and professional bells-and-whistles like a built-in rotisserie and smoker. Just be sure when incorporating your fantasy grill you don’t overlook reality: Building recommendations and clearances for safety, proximity to where children play, and placement away from other flammable outdoor features.

Outdoor Counters & Cabinets
Outdoor cabinetry and countertops can really pull-together that outdoor kitchen ‘look.’ Prep food and set tables with ease with the help of weather-friendly countertop and cabinetry additions. Installing your outdoor kitchen accoutrements along an exterior wall? This offers a great opportunity for the addition of upper cabinets.

Sink
A sink in your outdoor kitchen requires a bit of added plumbing, but can make all the difference in the world, particularly when it comes to convenient meal prep and cleanup.

Refrigerator
From cold, frosty beverages to a convenient, safe place to store food, prevent your family from wearing a track to the indoor fridge with a small to full-sized outdoor refrigerator model.

Lighting
For year-long
outdoor dining and after-hours meal-prep, adequate lighting is
key to safety. Let’s face it: You don’t want to end up chopping, slicing and
cooking in the dark. Flexible LED lighting with dimmers offer temperature and
weather safe mood lighting on lower settings, yet are brilliant enough to help
you ensure safely cooked meats.

Outdoor Heater
Overhead or wall-mounted, infrared patio heaters are an ideal outdoor heating solution. Heat is efficiently delivered from overhead, providing infrared warmth similar to the sun’s rays, offering the perfect solution for combatting the heat loss. Pair with privacy screens and curtains to boost performance and warmth.

Fireplace or Fire Pit
For those with a bigger budget who yearn for an outdoor space that beckons the family all year long, a gas fire pit or fireplace makes for a stunning focal point, drawing the household in with its warmth. Choose from traditionally-inspired gas fire pits with log inserts, modern linear tables with glass beds, or go all-out with the latest in see-through outdoor fireplace additions.
