What are the benefits of having a barbecue station on the patio?
- Dedicated outdoor entertaining area – an area to relax and entertain outside of the house, or an additional space for barbecues and cookouts while enjoying the view of the garden, or having fun at the pool
- Enjoy living space outdoor – hot or breezy weather can be fully enjoyed in open kitchens while dining al fresco or having cocktails. Lovely spot to spend a hot summer afternoon or a sultry evening to gaze at the stars or bathe in moonlight.
- Versatility in function and cooking – because it is an open kitchen, it can be designed and styled in any way to function as a bar, a kitchen, a dining area, a living area, or all of the above. You can also do a lot of cooking without worrying about smoke and smell.
