Homeowners in Tucson have outdoor spaces that are enjoyed all year long. If you find yourself frequently headed outside to entertain, adding an outdoor kitchen may be a great addition to your backyard.

If you are considering an outdoor kitchen, you will want it to stand alone as its own space. The kitchen should flow with your backyard design to create a cohesive space that adds value to your home.

Pave and cover the space

The kitchen space should be paved and covered so that it is comfortable and accessible all year round. Consider covering the space with an awning or pergola that can hold lights to add ambiance in the evening.

Include outdoor furniture

You can choose built-in seating or outdoor furniture. Either way, you will want a plan that has plenty of seating space so that guests can be comfortable.

Create an external focal point

Ideally, your outdoor kitchen should have a view of a focal point within your landscape, such as the pool or outdoor fireplace. This focal point will encourage relaxation as you kick back waiting for your steaks to cook on the grill.
