Bringing Outdoor Elements Into Your Kitchen Design
There’s no denying the growing need to connect our indoor spaces with our outdoor spaces.
Finding a way to bring the outdoors into your home seems to be a frequent item on our clients’ wish list. Homeowners have been looking for ways to connect their kitchen to an outdoor space or patio as a way to minimize the barrier between their indoor and outdoor spaces. They’re also wanting to add entry points from the kitchen to their outdoor entertainment areas.
Connecting your outdoor space to your kitchen can have multiple benefits. It allows homeowners to let in more natural light, makes your kitchen feel larger and allows homeowners to maximize their entertaining space. Here are some ways to connect your kitchen to the outdoors:
Add Glass Doors: There are a variety of ways you can add glass doors to your kitchen. You can install accordion doors, large sliding glass doors, or large french doors. Glass doors are an easy way to add charm and character to your kitchen and they’ll provide beautiful sight lines to your backyard. Whenever you decide to host a backyard party for family and friends, glass doors will make your kitchen space feel like an extension of your outdoor entertaining space.
Add a Covered Patio or Sunroom: If you don’t have a designated dining area in your kitchen or you have a cramped dining area, a covered patio or sunroom can be an ideal solution. You can design a dining space that connects your outdoor living space to your kitchen where you can enjoy the views of your outdoor oasis. It can also be a cozy spot where to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
Add Large Windows: Adding windows to your next kitchen remodel is a great way to connect to your outdoor space! You’ll be able to have an abundant stream of natural light flow into your kitchen, creating a tranquil and soothing atmosphere. You can add windows to your kitchen design by installing floor to ceiling windows, adding a wall of windows, or installing garage-style windows that open outwards. As a bonus, installing garage style windows allows you to have a serving station from your kitchen making it easy to serve food and drinks to guests outside.
