Hi everyone 👋 In today's fast-paced world, outdoor living spaces have become valuable extensions of our homes, offering practical ways to enjoy nature and expand our living areas. An outdoor living area is a versatile space where families can come together, cook, and relax, and it can be catered to any size or shaped garden. Let's delve into what makes outdoor living spaces special and why they're becoming increasingly popular in the UK. 🏡⬇️ 1. Functional Design: Outdoor living spaces are essentially outdoor rooms designed with a purpose. Whether it's creating a space for grilling and outdoor dining with an outdoor kitchen setup, lounging with friends around a fire pit, or simply enjoying the fresh air on a comfortable patio, the key is to design your outdoor living space with functionality in mind. Practical layouts and durable materials ensure that these garden spaces can withstand the elements while remaining conducive to everyday use. 👷🔨 2. Integration with Nature: Unlike traditional indoor rooms, outdoor living spaces are uniquely positioned to connect with the natural world. Through strategic landscaping, thoughtful plantings, and the use of natural materials like stone, wood, and rattan, these areas seamlessly blend into their surroundings, creating a sense of harmony with nature, whether it's a sprawling garden oasis or a cosy urban patio, the goal is to enhance the beauty of the outdoors. 🌲🌿 3. Comfort and Durability: While aesthetics are important, comfort and durability are paramount in outdoor living space design. Weather-resistant furniture, easy-to-clean surfaces, and low-maintenance landscaping ensure that these outdoor living areas remain inviting and functional year-round, regardless of rain, sun, or snow. From durable outdoor sofas and chairs to hardy outdoor kitchen countertops and all-weather rugs, every element is chosen with practicality and longevity in mind. ☔️🌞 4. Customisation and Affordability: With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, homeowners can create personalised outdoor retreats that suit their budget and lifestyle. Whether it's DIY projects, budget-friendly furniture finds, or creative repurposing of existing materials, there are countless ways to customise your outdoor space without breaking the bank. 🎨💰 5. Versatility and Adaptability: One of the greatest advantages of outdoor living spaces is their versatility and adaptability to accommodate a variety of activities and occasions. From casual family gatherings and impromptu cookouts to quiet moments of relaxation and solitude, these spaces can easily transition to meet the needs of the moment. With flexible seating arrangements, portable accessories, and multi-functional design elements, outdoor living spaces offer endless possibilities for enjoyment and entertainment. 🎉🍽️ Whether you're grilling burgers with friends, enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, or simply soaking up the sun with a good book, these outdoor living areas offer endless opportunities for relaxation, recreation, and rejuvenation - all without leaving the comfort of your own home. 🌌📚 If you have any insights of your own, tips to share, or inspiration to spread, be sure to get sharing in the comments!

Hi everyone 👋 An important decision when it comes to designing your outdoor kitchen is choosing your worktop material. It's not just about looks – it's also about durability, maintenance, and cost. With so many options out there, it can be overwhelming. That's why we're here to break it down for you. In this guide, we'll walk you through four popular choices: Dekton, Granite, Porcelain, and Concrete. Each has its own pros and cons, and we'll cover everything you need to know to make the best choice for your outdoor kitchen. 🤔🪨 Dekton: Dekton stands out as the most expensive option among the materials discussed in this post. Despite its higher cost, its exceptional durability and low maintenance requirements, including no need for sealing beyond regular cleaning, make it a valuable investment for outdoor kitchens. Additionally, Dekton offers a wide range of colours to choose from, providing you with ample design flexibility for your outdoor kitchen. 💷🎨 Granite and Concrete: Granite and concrete are both priced similarly, offering a balance between cost and quality. While they may not be as expensive as Dekton, they still provide excellent durability and aesthetic appeal for outdoor kitchen worktops. It's worth noting that sealing granite, perhaps once a year, is advisable. When choosing granite, opting for darker shades can enhance its UV resistance. 🤩📆 Porcelain: Porcelain is the most cost-saving option among the materials discussed. Despite its affordability, it offers benefits such as resistance to stains and scratches, making it a practical choice for homeowners looking to save on costs without sacrificing quality. However, it's important to note that porcelain would require sealing. One drawback of porcelain is that it may not meet everyone's aesthetic preferences. This is because there will be join lines between tiles, and edges that aren't factory-cut may lack a sharp appearance. However, in most outdoor kitchens with porcelain worktops, we aim to maintain the original tile size to preserve the sharpness of the factory-cut edge all around. 📉🗡️ In conclusion, the cost considerations for outdoor kitchen worktop materials vary depending on the material chosen. While Dekton offers top-tier durability and aesthetics at a premium price, granite and concrete provide a balance between quality and cost. Meanwhile, porcelain offers cost-saving benefits without compromising on essential features. Ultimately, you can make an informed decision based on your budget and desired features for your outdoor cooking area. 🥂✨ Furthermore, we are happy to discuss alternative materials that you may prefer for your worktop. Our goal is to ensure that the outdoor kitchen that takes shape in your outdoor living space is exactly what you envision. We understand that everyone has unique preferences, and we're here to assist you in creating a truly personalized outdoor kitchen. 🏡💭 Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for further discussions and to explore the best options for your project! 📲💬 Sizzle on, Team AOS

Happy Monday everyone! 🌟 Dreaming of having an outdoor kitchen built but feeling a bit lost with all the appliance choices available? You're not alone. Setting up an outdoor cooking space can be exciting yet daunting, especially when it comes to choosing the right appliances. This post aims to simplify the process by breaking down the options and helping you figure out what works best for your cooking style and requirements. Let's cut through the confusion and get you one step closer to your dream outdoor kitchen. 🤔✨ Outdoor Fridge: An outdoor fridge offers convenience to any outdoor kitchen. Not only does it keep your food and beverages cool and fresh, but it also eliminates the need for constant trips back and forth to the indoor fridge. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or simply enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, having easy access to chilled drinks and snacks enhances the experience. Plus, it saves valuable space in your indoor fridge for other essentials. With just a power lead, an outdoor fridge can be installed anywhere, making it suitable for any outdoor kitchen setup. 🍾🍸 ☑️ Best for: Those who prioritise convenience and love entertaining guests, particularly for those who want to minimise the hassle of constantly going in and out to grab drinks and food. Sink and Tap: A sink and tap may seem like a simple addition, but its utility cannot be overstated. From washing hands to cleaning utensils and rinsing ingredients, an outdoor sink makes outdoor cooking a breeze. It also helps keep the mess outside, preventing dirty hands and BBQ utensils from making their way into your indoor kitchen. Especially crucial when dealing with raw meats, BBQ sauces and charcoal, a sink ensures hygiene and convenience. With water and waste connections, a sink and tap can be seamlessly integrated into any outdoor kitchen, regardless of distance from the house. 🚰💧 ☑️ Best for: Those who prioritise cleanliness and efficiency in their garden kitchen. Charcoal Grill: For those who crave the smoky flavour and authentic outdoor cooking experience, nothing beats a charcoal grill. Whether you're searing steaks or slow-roasting ribs, charcoal grills offer unparalleled flavour and versatility. While they may require a bit more effort to light and maintain compared to gas grills, the results are well worth it for barbecue enthusiasts. Plus, the ritual of tending to the coals adds an element of nostalgia to outdoor cooking sessions. 🔥🥩 ☑️ Best for: Grill masters who value flavour above all else and enjoy the process of charcoal cooking. Gas Grill: Gas grills are the epitome of convenience and efficiency. With just the turn of a knob, you can have instant heat at your fingertips, making gas grills perfect for weeknight dinners and impromptu gatherings. They're easy to clean and maintain, making them ideal for those who prefer a hassle-free cooking experience. Gas grills also offer precise temperature control, allowing you to cook everything from delicate fish to hearty burgers with ease. 😎🍔 ☑️ Best for: Busy individuals or families who want quick and reliable outdoor cooking without sacrificing flavour. Pellet Grill: Pellet grills combine the convenience of gas grills with the smoky flavour of charcoal grills. Using wood pellets, they infuse your food with rich flavour while offering precise temperature control, just like gas grills. 🪵💨 Traeger models like the Timberline and Timberline XL feature a smart screen and app controls for added convenience. However, keep in mind they require Wi-Fi connectivity, making them unsuitable for outdoor kitchens far from the house. Additionally, ensure there's a nearby power source for installation. 🛜📱 ☑️ Best for: Those who are always on the go and enjoy experimenting with new technology. It is also ideal for those who want the flavour of charcoal with the convenience of gas. Pizza Oven: Transform your outdoor living space into a pizzeria with a dedicated pizza oven. Whether you prefer thin crust or deep dish, pizza oven-made pizza has a unique flavour and texture that's hard to replicate in a conventional oven. Pizza ovens can reach incredibly high temperatures, allowing you to achieve that coveted crispy crust in minutes. Beyond pizza, you can also use them to bake bread, roast vegetables, and even cook meats, making them a versatile addition to any outdoor kitchen. 🍕🍞 ☑️ Best for: Pizza lovers and aspiring pizzaiolos looking to elevate their homemade pizza game. Additionally, it is ideal for individuals who enjoy entertaining and for families seeking new and exciting dining experiences. Side Burner: Don't underestimate the power of a side burner in your outdoor kitchen design. Perfect for sauces, sides, and sautéing, an outdoor side burner expands your cooking capabilities beyond the grill. Whether you're warming up barbecue sauce or whipping up a batch of stir-fry, having a dedicated burner ensures that you can prepare complete meals outdoors without ever needing to step inside. 🥫🍲 ☑️ Best for: Those who like to multitask and enjoy preparing diverse dishes outdoors. Choosing the right outdoor kitchen appliances depends on your personal preferences, cooking style, and lifestyle needs. Whether you prioritise convenience, flavour, or versatility, there's an outdoor kitchen appliance that's perfect for you. By investing in the right tools, you can create an outdoor BBQ area that not only enhances your cooking experience but also transforms your garden into an outdoor cooking and entertaining haven. 🏡🥂 If you have any questions or your own outdoor kitchen appliance advice, please drop a comment below. ⬇️💬 Sizzle on, Team AOS

The simple answer is yes. 🤩🥳 Outdoor kitchens are meticulously designed to withstand the elements, making a garden kitchen a robust addition to any garden or patio space. The resilience of outdoor kitchens is not just about their structure but also the materials chosen for their construction. AOS outdoor kitchens are usually finished with tiles, render, or brick, offering not only durability but also aesthetic appeal that complements any outdoor living space. Furthermore, doors, drawer fronts, and appliances are typically made from 304 stainless steel, a material renowned for its resistance to corrosion and rust. This ensures that your outdoor cooking appliances and outdoor kitchen storage solutions remain in excellent condition, despite exposure to the weather. 🛠️🌦️ Even though an outdoor kitchen doesn’t require a shelter, they are recommended for these reasons: Enhanced Cleanliness While the materials used, such as 304 stainless steel for appliances and robust finishes like tiles, render, or brick, ensure durability, a shelter can provide additional protection against bird droppings, falling leaves, and other natural debris. This added layer of defence helps keep your outdoor kitchen cleaner, reducing the need for intensive cleaning and drying sessions before each use. 🦆🍂 Year-Round Enjoyment One of the most compelling reasons to consider a garden shelter for your outdoor kitchen is the ability to use the outdoor cooking space throughout the year, regardless of the weather. A sheltered outdoor kitchen allows you to enjoy outdoor dining and entertaining even during the cooler months, making your outdoor kitchen a versatile outdoor living space for all seasons. ❄️🌧️ Enhanced Enjoyment An outdoor kitchen shelter can enable you to enjoy your outdoor BBQ area more fully. It will allow you to hang heaters to keep you warm when it’s cooler outside, install speakers for vibrant garden parties, and hang plants and decorations for added aesthetic appeal. 🥂🍻 In conclusion, while an outdoor kitchen can certainly be left uncovered, adding a shelter can significantly enhance its functionality and enjoyment. By keeping the kitchen cleaner, protecting the durable materials like 304 stainless steel, tiles, render, or brick, and enabling year-round use, a shelter can transform your outdoor kitchen into a more practical and enjoyable extension of your home. 🏡☔️ If you have any outdoor kitchen shelter questions, drop them in the comments below. 🗣️💬 Have a fantastic week! 😊🌟 Sizzle on, Team AOS.

Thinking about upgrading your home with an outdoor kitchen? It's not just about barbecuing in the great outdoors; it's a smart move that could increase your home's value and make your outdoor living space a lot more usable. Here's why adding an outdoor kitchen is a great idea when it comes to home improvement: Boosting Your Home's Value First off, yes, an outdoor kitchen can make your property more attractive on the market. Homes with a garden kitchen tend to attract better offers. Investing in a luxury outdoor kitchen could give you a solid return, much like redoing your indoor kitchen or sprucing up the bathroom. 🤩🤝 More Room to Live and Laugh An outdoor kitchen gives you an extra living space to hang out, entertain, or just chill without having to add on to your house. It's like getting an extra room without the hassle of construction. This not only makes your place more enjoyable for you but also more appealing to anyone thinking about buying. They'll see it as an incredible spot for their own gatherings or quiet nights. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🥂 Saving on Bills An outdoor kitchen can significantly reduce household bills, thereby boosting your home's value. Leveraging natural daylight for cooking and dining eliminates the need for artificial lighting and reduces reliance on energy-intensive indoor appliances. Additionally, cooking outside lessens the necessity for extractor fans or other cooling measures indoors. Outdoor cooking appliances generally incur lower running costs compared to their indoor counterparts. Incorporating solar-powered lighting for evening use further enhances the sustainability of an outdoor kitchen, leading to substantial savings on utility bills. This efficient and eco-friendly approach not only trims down expenses but also adds a unique selling point that can increase the property's appeal to potential buyers. 🧾💸 Upgrading Your Lifestyle There's something special about eating and entertaining in an outside kitchen that you just can't get indoors. An outdoor kitchen steps up your home's fun factor, making it the go-to spot for friends and family. Plus, it might encourage you to eat healthier and enjoy more fresh, grilled veggies and meats. 😎🍻 Tailor-Made for Your Home The great thing about outdoor kitchens is that they can be whatever you want them to be, fitting any size garden and matching your home's aesthetic. Whether you've got a small garden or a big one, you can design an outdoor kitchen that's both useful and beautiful. A well-thought-out outdoor kitchen can turn your garden into the highlight of your home, adding that extra bit of charm. 🧑‍🍳🌟 So, is an outdoor kitchen worth it? Absolutely. It's not just a fancy addition; it's a smart investment that boosts your home's value, saves on energy costs, and makes your home life more enjoyable. Whether you love hosting big parties or just want a nice spot to relax, an outdoor kitchen could be just what your home needs to stand out. 📈🔥 Sizzle on, Team AOS

Hi everyone! 👋 As we delve into 2024, the concept of outdoor living continues to evolve, intertwining comfort, sustainability, and style. This year, we see a blend of innovative trends that not only enhance the aesthetics of outdoor spaces but also reflect our growing desire for a harmonious connection with nature. Let's explore the top outdoor living trends for 2024. 🏡✨ 1. Outdoor Kitchens The rise of outdoor kitchens marks a significant garden trend in 2024. These aren't just simple BBQ setups but fully equipped outdoor cooking spaces, complete with high-end appliances, spacious countertops, and even outdoor sinks. They're perfect for those who love entertaining and cooking al fresco, offering a whole new dimension to outside dining at home. 🧑‍🍳🔥 2. Indoor-Outdoor Flow This year, the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces blurs. The trend is to create a seamless transition between the two, using similar design elements, materials, and colour schemes. It's all about extending the comfort and style of your indoor living space to the outdoors, creating a unified and cohesive home environment. 🖼️🎨 3. Organic Shapes Gone are the days of rigid, angular garden designs. In 2024, organic shapes take centre stage. This trend sees garden paths, furniture, and structures adopting flowing, natural lines, complementing the organic forms found in nature. These designs not only look beautiful but also create a more relaxed and serene outdoor space. 🗿🌀 4. Outdoor Lighting Outdoor lights play a crucial role in setting the mood of your outdoor living space. This year, the focus is on strategic, mood-enhancing lighting. From subtle fairy lights draped in trees to create a magical, cosy atmosphere, to vibrant LEDs for lively garden parties, lighting is used not just for functionality but as a key design element. 💡🕯️ 5. Multifunctional Furniture As outdoor living areas often need to serve multiple purposes, multifunctional furniture is on the rise. Think extendable dining tables, convertible benches with storage, and chairs that unfold into loungers. This trend is perfect for those who love to entertain or simply enjoy versatility in their outdoor living space. 🛋️🪑 6. Home Grown Produce Sustainability continues to be a key focus, with more people turning to grow their own produce. Home gardens are no longer just about flowers and ornamental plants; they're about cultivating herbs, fruits, and vegetables. This trend supports a sustainable lifestyle and brings the joy of gardening and healthy eating together. 🧑‍🌾🪴 7. Wild Gardens The wild garden trend embraces a more natural, less manicured approach to gardening. It involves spontaneous plantings, native species, and a general acceptance of a more relaxed, slightly untamed garden aesthetic. This approach is not only easier to maintain but also encourages biodiversity and creates a haven for local wildlife. 💐🦡 The outdoor living trends of 2024 reflect a deeper connection with nature and a desire for functional yet beautiful spaces. Whether it's cooking in an open-air outdoor kitchen, relaxing in a garden that feels like a natural extension of the home, or dining on home-grown produce, these trends encourage us to embrace outdoor living in innovative and sustainable ways. 🏞️🐝 If your on the hunt for more garden kitchen ideas, outdoor living inspiration or garden project ideas, be sure to explore our AOS Community Forum further. Let's make the most of our outdoor spaces this year and beyond! 🏕️🌳 Sizzle on, Team AOS
