Spring and summer can be easily converted to an entertainer's dream by adding a few luxury amenities. From relaxing, hosting, or throwing a big bash, an outdoor kitchen can become the heart of the home for the better of the warmer seasons. It’s an essential component of a beautifully designed outdoor living area.

Your only limitation on adding luxury is going to be your budget, so it is important to plan accordingly. I'll be sharing my top four amenities to include in your luxury outdoor kitchen.

#1: Practical Preparation Space

Prep spaces for your outdoor kitchen area will encompass countertops and tables. The best options for any outdoor space are always natural stone, concrete, or tile. These materials are durable and typically endure outdoor conditions well. A covered area will ensure the best care overtime, but planning to protect the kitchen from the elements will be necessary to make them last.

How spacious you'd like your counter space to be will be entirely up to you; however, the more area you include, the more you will have to cover and upkeep. I always recommend plentiful and practical preparation space when planning out your outdoor kitchen.

#2: Stainless Steel Sink

An outdoor sink is a must have for any high-end outdoor kitchen. This allows for quick washing for food prep, hands, dishes, etc.

Stainless steel is my number one recommendation for all outdoor sinks. Not only is it the highest quality material for the outdoors, but the chromium and nickel content also make it the most corrosion-resistant. This material comes in a plethora of different shapes and types to choose from, so you can tailor it to your own taste.

#3: Built-In Cooking Implements

Cooking implements are always fun to shop for. Depending on your preferences, you can have quite a lot of options to choose from when selecting your built-ins. From grills, stove tops, or pizza ovens, you can select whatever makes the most sense for your home.

It is important to keep in mind how much space you have and how many people you'll be serving at any given time. All of these make wonderful cooking and hosting additions.

#4: Fully-Stocked Beverage Fridge

Adding a fully stocked beverage fridge to your outdoor area is a must. This allows for you and your guests to have access to cool refreshments without having to leave the fun. This can also be especially helpful for avoiding wet or muddy feet tracking into the house. Additionally, a beverage fridge is great to have on hand for those days that you're laying out relaxing or after you've done some yard work.
