If you’re someone who loves the sizzle of a sausage on a barbeque, or the sun on your skin as you enjoy another delicious meal, then having an outdoor kitchen could be a perk all on its own. But there are other benefits to outdoor kitchens that are often overlooked - the value they can add to your home, for example.
Year after year, outdoor kitchens have been a popular trend for new homeowners. And that can result in some big bucks for you when the time comes to sell.
So will an outdoor kitchen add value to your home? Read on to find out.
Why should I get an outdoor kitchen?
Make your home stand out from other houses
According to RealEstate.com.au, a new homeowner will look at over 300 property listings and go to more than 11 open house inspections before finding ‘the one’. Now that’s a lot of houses - it’s no wonder why some of them start to blend together. Or even worse - forgotten.
An outdoor kitchen gives your home a distinctive feature that is sure to catch the eye of a potential buyer. After all, everyone needs a space to throw their house warming party, right?
Entertainment areas are in high demand right now
With more people spending more time at home, entertainment areas such as outdoor kitchens are on everybody’s wish list. It turns a standard house into a meeting place for friends and family, creating memories for years to come.
Outdoor kitchens aren’t just for parties, either. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy dinner outside after a long day of working from home? An outdoor kitchen is a perfect solution to break up the monotony of any working day.

Generally, outdoor kitchens are more affordable than other home improvement projects. Renovation experts usually quote between 3-8% of the home’s value for a new indoor kitchen, while a renovated bathroom could cost up to $2,900 per square meter.

How much value will an outdoor kitchen add to my home?
Outdoor kitchens, just like swimming pools or heated floors, are considered a ‘luxury perk’ - meaning more often than not, people are willing to pay more for properties with a well-designed outdoor kitchen.
According to home experts such as CNN Money and Remodelling Magazine, outdoor kitchens can increase your return on investment (ROI) by 100%-200% - but this depends on the climate (with higher ROI in warmer states) and if long-wearing, durable materials are used.
