2022 Outdoor Kitchen Trends

Outdoor Living Reimagined

Reimagined outdoor living spaces has been rising in popularity in the past couple of years as many homeowners are transitioning the heart of the home to the outdoors, and it’s no different in 2022. The trend of entertaining family and friends in an attractive and functional outdoor space continues to grow.

The National Kitchen & Bath Association reports that 60% of homeowners are looking into the idea of adding an outdoor kitchen in 2022. Are you one of them? Let’s look at some of the latest trends we can expect in outdoor living designs.

More Than Just a Grill

Focusing on outdoor kitchens first, these designs include much more than just your basic kitchen concept. Homeowners want outdoor cooking stations with flat top grills, which help the juice to remain in contact with the ingredients to create a more savory meal.

Don’t limit yourself to just grilling burgers or hot dogs for dinner. Think about pizza stations, ample storage for ingredients and food, and refrigerators for diner-style breakfast and lunches.

Bring Your Inside Work Outside

Outdoor kitchens aren’t the only spaces being added. The concept of a garden office, or an outdoor office, is gaining more attention among many homeowners who are forced to work from home. This idea is simply to have an outside place that is comforting and refreshing.

Also, a garden office gives you the joy of working in open spaces that are a nice change from the four-walled offices we have been so used to.

Love to Lounge

When it comes to lounging outside, consider transforming your space with low seating so that you can enjoy a full garden or pool view from your sitting area. Nothing defines lounging around than technology.

So many homeowners are integrating technology not only to the interior of the home but to the exterior. This includes Wi-Fi boosters and color-changing LED lighting.
