Give Your Chef a Pavers Outdoor Kitchen this Christmas
The holiday season is here and with it comes parties, spending time with family and friends, and searching for the perfect gift for your special someone. Gifts should be thoughtful and tell your loved ones just how special they are to you. This year instead of buying something from a shopping mall consider giving the gift of an experience. You can give the chef in your family the outdoor kitchen of their dreams. By using pavers, we are able to design a custom made outdoor kitchen that they will enjoy spending time in year after year.
In Southern California, pavers are used to build outdoor kitchens because they are beautiful and versitile. Paving stones can be built in any shape, pattern and size so they allow for the ultimate in design creativity. Pavers are also extremely durable and will stand up to inclement weather, extreme heat, rain, and daily abuse. Even though your pavers kitchen is outdoors, it will continue to look extraordinary as time goes on due to the durability and rustic beauty of paving stones.
Here are our ideas for the perfect outdoor kitchen.
Color
Start by selecting your color pallet. Your outdoor kitchen should exude warmth and beauty. It should blend with the natural environment while adding a touch of glamour to your outdoor spaces. Paving stones can do this through the use of color. We work with local Southern California pavers manufacturers that produce paving stones in a variety of shades so that you can select the one that is perfect for your home and for your sense of style. Pavers manufacturers like Olson are known for their vivid colors and creativity. We have the largest collection of online pavers so you can start your search there and compare what each manufacturer has to offer.
Water
When building a custom outdoor kitchen, it is easy to go with the standard barbecue area that simply has a counter and surrounds the grill with beautiful pavers. While this looks lovely, it will not meet the needs of the foodies in the family. Have plumbing installed in your outdoor kitchen so that you can have a fully functioning sink, refrigerator, and even dishwasher outdoors. With Southern California weather being mild all year, this is a space that can get as much use as your kitchen indoors. Make sure that it is easy to cook with all of the modern conveniences.
Lighting
An outdoor kitchen should have appropriate lighting. You can have lighting built directly into your kitchen by installing them on the floor, cabinets, and more. We can build in places for electrical outlets as part of the overall design build so that you can plug in additional lamps or utensils as needed.
Center Island
An outdoor kitchen is a place to cook and gather friends and family. It can become the epicenter of entertaining with friends gather around, tasting foods, and drinking a glass of wine. Have a center island built so that they can relax and chat with the chef in comfort. The island should be large enough for people to sit at and have platters of food set out. This way it also serves as an easy serving station during larger gatherings. Think about how many people you normally have over and make the island long enough to fit them with a foot of extra room for serving at the end.
