Amenities to Extend Outdoor Living

Outdoor living is rising in popularity across the United States. Outdoor Kitchens are a great way to increase your usable space in your home and also enjoy cooking outside without the hassle of going back and forth from indoors to outdoors during the cooking process. Some are apprehensive to build an outdoor kitchen at the Lake of the Ozarks because they don't think they will get enough use out of them due to the changes in weather. You may not be able to use your outdoor kitchen in the dead of winter but there are plenty of amenities to extend the usability of your outdoor living space. Today our cabinet company at the Lake of the Ozarks wants to share with you four amenities to extend outdoor living.


Layered Heat Sources 

Summer is the ideal time to use your outdoor space but with careful planning, you can still use your outdoor space during the colder seasons. Fall is a gorgeous time of year to be outdoors at the Lake of the Ozarks with the gorgeous fall foliage. Fall afternoons are typically comfortable enough to be outdoors but when the sun goes down it does get a little chilly out. If you want to extend the usability of your outdoor kitchen, consider including a few different heat sources to keep you warm. You can include things like heating lamps, fire pits, and built-in infrared heaters

Shade Solutions 

If you plan to use your outdoor kitchen on summer afternoons, the sun can beat down and make being outside uncomfortable. Consider including a way to provide shade in the afternoon to remain cool and comfortable. To add extra shade to your outdoor kitchen consider adding a pergola or a retractable patio cover.

Keep it Cool 

Again, you don't want to be overly hot when you are spending time outside. Keeping it cool is key to enjoying your outdoor space. Even if you add a shade source it can often still be hot - especially in the afternoon. To stay cool you can add fans, misters, rugs, and light colored furniture.


Transitional Rooms 

Although a transitional room may cost you a little more, they are a great way to extend the usability of your outdoor kitchen! Creating a transitional room is the best way to get the most out of your space. To build a transitional space you can build rooms with removable screens, doors, and walls. A transitional room is great for entertaining and getting the most out of outdoor living!
