Will Adding An Outdoor Kitchen Add Value to Your Home?

We’re lucky to live in Southern Oregon for many reasons, but fabulous weather and picturesque scenery are two benefits at the top of the list. Many homeowners enjoy spending time outdoors, so finding more opportunities to get out of the house and into the backyard is often a priority. A popular home improvement many people make is adding an outdoor kitchen with a seating area. These areas can include a sink, range, standard oven, barbeque, refrigerator, and more. Using hardscape provides the perfect base because it’s sturdy, functional, and beautiful. But will adding an outdoor kitchen add value to your home?

Benefits of Adding an Outdoor Kitchen to Your Home

According to absolutekitchens.com, adding an outdoor kitchen increases your home’s value. In fact, based on information they’ve collected from sources like CNN Money and Remodeling Magazine, they believe outdoor kitchens have a higher return on investment than any other outdoor renovation homeowners can make. If done correctly, adding an outdoor kitchen can add up to 200% of the renovation cost to the home’s valuation. Yet, this isn’t the only benefit an outdoor kitchen brings.

You’ll be the ultimate entertainer. Homeowners love hosting parties when they have a beautiful hardscape patio, an entire seating area, and a functional outdoor kitchen. You never have to leave your guests alone in the backyard to prepare or clean up from a delicious meal.

You’ll save money. It’s expensive to take the family out to dinner. Homeowners with outdoor kitchens tend to eat at home more often because it’s fun and easy to prepare a meal everyone will enjoy on the patio. The kids can play their favorite yard games while you enjoy sipping a glass of wine while preparing dinner under the sun.

You’ll eat healthier. It’s just natural for homeowners with outdoor kitchens to select fresh meats and vegetables to prepare for meals. Whether grilling fresh salmon or baking a vegetarian pizza sourced from local farms, you’ll find yourself enjoying a better diet.
