Sep 29, 2023

At Bardwell Homes, we want you to love the outside of your home just as much as the inside. With a thoughtfully designed outdoor kitchen space, you can. Today, we’re exploring ways to create the perfect outdoor kitchen area tailor-made just for you! 

Define Your Space

Defining the space ensures that your outdoor kitchen area will be functional and comfortable for you and your guests. Bardwell Homes provides you with the opportunity to select built-in outdoor kitchen spaces, including large patio space, countertop area, sinks, barbecue grills, hood vents, and more!

Choose Durable Materials

When it comes to outdoor kitchens, durability is key. At Bardwell, we select brands prioritizing weather-resistant materials such as stainless steel for appliances, a variety of options for countertops, and brick surrounds. These carefully chosen design elements not only extend the lifespan of your outdoor kitchen but also enhance its visual charm.

Invest in Quality Appliances

To get the most out of your space, equip your outdoor kitchen with the right appliances. A high-quality grill, a smoker, a built-in pizza oven, and even a beverage fridge can make your outdoor kitchen versatile and fully functional. When you purchase a Bardwell house plan, you have the opportunity to make it truly your own. Most of the outdoor appliances including grills, hoods, and kitchen storage are provided by the BBQ Guys located in Baton Rouge. Our go-to brand for grills is Blaze. 

Outdoor Living Space

Create Ample Seating

Most Bardwell Homes offer large patio and backyards providing a perfect space to lounge and relax. Consider a combination of bar stools, outdoor sofas, and picnic-style tables with benches to accommodate different group sizes and preferences.

Build a Bar Area

A well-planned bar area can be a centerpiece of your outdoor kitchen. Stock it with your favorite beverages and glassware. Consider adding a built-in kegerator, wine cooler, or a bar sink for easy drink preparation.

Outdoor Living Space

Include Entertainment

Take full advantage of your outdoor space by integrating entertainment options. Install outdoor speakers for music, mount a TV on a wall and consider adding games like cornhole or a dartboard for added fun. Many Bardwell Homes offer TV and media outlets installed perfectly to meet all your digital entertainment needs.
