Paden, sales director for <a href=\"https:\/\/werever.com\/\">Werever Outdoor Cabinetry<\/a> in Riverview, FL. \u201cNow our customers are not only including a grill, sink, and refrigerator, but want additional side burners, power burners for large boils and wok cooking, pizza ovens, cocktail centers, and more. We see the outdoor kitchen become an entertaining oasis\u2014and really, a destination,\u201d she sums.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe outdoor kitchen\/living space has become paramount to experiencing a healthy lifestyle in the days since COVID-19,\u201d says interior designer Cristie Schlosser, RID, ASID, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/schlosserdesign.net\/\">Schlosser Design Group, LLC<\/a> in Dallas, TX.&nbsp;Cristie is also president of the North Texas Plains Chapter of the <a href=\"https:\/\/nkba.org\/about\/\">National Kitchen &amp; Bath Association<\/a>, the world\u2019s leading trade association for the kitchen and bath industry. \u201cThose who did not have an outdoor kitchen\u2014just a grill\u2014ramped up their desire to spend more time living outdoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a result, we\u2019re now designing outdoor kitchens with deep sinks for prep and cleaning, frost-free outdoor-rated faucets, built-in grills with proper ventilation, and exhaust hoods to draw the smoke away, especially when the grill is close to the entry of your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Using stainless steel is also critical when planning for longevity,\u201d she notes. High-performing wine coolers, stainless-steel sinks, and built-in two-sided grills top the wish list for 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sufficient Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"973\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/StainlessSteelhigh-end-outdoor-kitchenCourtesyLandscaoing-Network.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/StainlessSteelhigh-end-outdoor-kitchenCourtesyLandscaoing-Network.jpg 973w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/StainlessSteelhigh-end-outdoor-kitchenCourtesyLandscaoing-Network-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/StainlessSteelhigh-end-outdoor-kitchenCourtesyLandscaoing-Network-768x387.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 973px) 100vw, 973px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landscapingnetwork.com\/outdoor-kitchens\/appliances.html\"><em>Landscaping Network<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since lake homeowners are spending more time than ever before in their outdoor spaces, more storage is an absolute necessity\u2014the bigger, the better. Ample outdoor storage also prevents us from having to run in and out of the house numerous times. Whitney recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/werever.com\/material-hdpe\/\">weather-resistant kitchen cabinets<\/a> that are made of marine-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE). \u201cOur cabinetry specifically has become quite popular as a fully functioning storage and utility solution in the outdoor environment, providing pull-out trash cans, drawer storage for utensils and other kitchen goods, and cabinet space for smaller appliances and cookware,\u201d she says. Added storage for pull-out smokers is also becoming a popular request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Superstar Surfaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dekton-Outdoor-Kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dekton-Outdoor-Kitchen.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dekton-Outdoor-Kitchen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Dekton-Outdoor-Kitchen-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dekton.com\/usa\/countertops\/\"><em>Dekton<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSurface options for outdoor spaces have improved\u00a0greatly,\u201d comments Cristie. \u201cI love using sintered materials for countertops and backsplashes. These easy-to-clean, highly compact porcelain and quartz slabs are thinner and lighter weight with gorgeous stonelike patterns\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neolith.com\/en\/about-neolith\/technologies\/\">Neolith<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dekton.com\/usa\/what-is-dekton\/\">Dekton<\/a> are two brands we specify,\u201d she notes. This high-tech process of sintering involves an accelerated version of the change that natural stone undergoes when subjected to high temperatures and pressure over thousands of years. \u201cI think the use of sintered materials is going to the biggest and most long-lasting trend,\u201d she says. \u201cYou can build an outdoor kitchen that looks luxurious\u2014like it was meant to be indoors\u2014through the use of these strong heat, frost, and stain-resistant panels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are now outdoor-rated options for quartz and granite\u2014not all types can be used outside due to the resin content applied in the manufacturing process that yellows over time. Cristie advises homeowners to be aware that using materials unauthorized for outdoor use may also void any warranties.\u00a0For more information on outdoor kitchen countertop options, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hgtv.com\/outdoors\/outdoor-remodel\/outdoor-kitchen-countertops-options\">HGTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elegant Earth Tones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"761\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CandianLakesideCabinCourtesyDwell-1024x761.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CandianLakesideCabinCourtesyDwell-1024x761.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CandianLakesideCabinCourtesyDwell-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CandianLakesideCabinCourtesyDwell-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CandianLakesideCabinCourtesyDwell-1536x1141.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CandianLakesideCabinCourtesyDwell.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dwell.com\/article\/kahshe-lake-cottage-solares-architecture-005154bd\/6711319685090230272\"><em>Dwell<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our deepened desire to connect with the outdoors has prompted earth tones to emerge once again.

Aside from increasing the value of our lake homes, they now have become an essential component of our \u201cnew normal.\u201d With a heightened consciousness of indoor dining risks, we\u2019re all likely to continue outdoor get-togethers regularly and long into the future. With that in mind, Cristie offers these common-sense tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build a kitchen that fits the style of your home and doesn\u2019t look like an afterthought.<\/li>\n<li>Keep in mind the sun\u2019s direction when most of the cooking will occur, and strategize where to provide the appropriate type of shade.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Prepare for cooking outdoors year-round\u2014rain, snow, or sleet.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your space can handle the outdoors&#8217; wear and tear and meet your cooking needs\u2014and <em>always<\/em> buy the best quality grill you can afford.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So head outside and get cooking!
