Outdoor Kitchen Ideas: Outdoor Design Areas

REASONS TO USE PINTEREST AS A PLANNING AID

When I first became a homeowner, I would purchase a ton of magazines and begin cutting out pictures to put into a file whenever I was planning a decorating or repair project. Since I was a bit of a snip-aholic, I had around a dozen magazine subscriptions and frequently purchased additional issues at newsstands in grocery and hardware stores. I would often snip not just to add to my idea bank but also for a specific project. I would post an idea on my refrigerator or cork board if I REALLY liked it. If not, it would be placed in a file folder.

Well, Pinterest is like having access to a big library of periodicals and message boards. In fact, the aim behind the Pinterest platform was to develop a location where idea boards could be stored and shared. I thus switched from snipping to pinning, dumped my file folders in the trash, and haven't looked back since.

You're trying to plan an outdoor kitchen but don't know where to start. In addition to being a terrific resource for finding outdoor kitchen ideas, Pinterest also makes it easy to arrange your thoughts. Don't stop reading if you've never really gotten into Pinterest. I might be able to persuade you to look into it.

WHAT THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN

I would advise creating many boards for the purpose of planning an outdoor kitchen project, including a general "kitchen ideas" board for the outdoor kitchen concepts that just speak to you as a whole and other boards for the various design components.

-Grill Islands

-Countertops

-Lighting

-Decor

-Patio pavers (or decking)

-Landscaping

-Furniture

-Appliances

The simplicity with which you may click an icon to share your thoughts is my favorite aspect of Pinterest. Give these to your friends to obtain their opinions. Give them to your spouse or close companion. Inform your contractor about these. Share a single Pin or an entire board. You can copy the URL and send it by text message, email, Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp to another Pinterest user.
