Outdoor Kitchens Rapidly Becoming Most Popular Home Renovations in Perth

Co-owner of Next Level Extensions reveals why outdoor kitchens are becoming the “hottest” home renovations in Perth.
Perth, WA, 23 November 2015 - A look at the popularity of home renovation shows on TV leaves no doubt that home renovations are a major trend in Australia right now. In the Perth area, outdoor kitchens are the “hottest” home renovations of them all.

The price of buying a new home or even a larger home has become too high for a lot of Australians. Consequently, more and more people are waking up to the realisation that they can turn their current homes into their “dream homes” for far less money than it would cost to buy a larger home.

More Space for Less Money

When it comes to increasing space and improving lifestyle, the outdoor kitchen is one of the most cost-effective ways to get the job done. An outdoor kitchen doesn’t cost as much to build as an indoor kitchen because there isn’t as much structural work to be done. Most outdoor kitchens consist of a roof and a patio floor as the only serious structural components. This is much less expensive than tearing down your current indoor kitchen and building a new one.

Restaurant Meals at Home

Restaurants can cook meals that most people can’t duplicate in their indoor kitchens because of the ventilation that is required. Restaurants have commercial vents and stainless steel hoods with exhaust fans to transport the smoke, heat, grease and exhaust from cooking food with a heavy duty charcoal grill, deep fryer or stone pizza oven.

With an outdoor kitchen, the equipment is outdoors instead of being enclosed indoors. The smoke and heat are dissipated into the air, allowing use of smokers and heavy duty grills without making the home too hot or smoky. No exhaust hoods or fans are necessary.

Increases Home Value

The two most cost-effective ways to increase home value for sale are to expand the living space with an alfresco living area or remodel the kitchen. An outdoor kitchen accomplishes both. Some people are able to profit by adding an outdoor kitchen for immediate resale of the home, while others live in their homes long term and find out that their homes sell for more money than others in the neighbourhood because of the outdoor kitchen.

Alfresco Living

An outdoor kitchen is the ultimate alfresco living area. With the addition of more patio space and some outdoor furniture such as lawn chairs and tables, an outdoor kitchen allows the homeowner to entertain large groups of friends or neighbours whenever they want. It also allows them to enjoy their outdoor kitchen and dining area in privacy if they like.

According to Craig Johns, director of home renovations firm Next Level Extensions, “Recently, outdoor kitchens have become extremely popular. We love our food, beverages and downtime. An outdoor kitchen and alfresco living area helps us enjoy all three.”
