Outdoor kitchens and baths have made their way to being a spotlight trend. Outdoor kitchens are very popular, and are especially useful in summer to keep extra heat out of the house. Outdoor baths are a little slower taking off, especially in the US, as we tend to be a bit conservative. However, if you live in a more rural area (i.e. NOT in a neighborhood), these intimate retreats can be very sensual or relaxing escape.

Outdoor kitchens are wonderful for entertaining, and can add value to your home. Simple outdoor kitchens can consist of a counter top, sink, prep area, shelf storage, and a grill. High-end outdoor kitchens can consist of weather resistant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (sometimes including wine storage), sinks, pizza ovens, steamers, fryers, the whole nine yards!

The kitchen has a real substantial feel, due in no small part to the 30mm thick doors. This exceptional thickness also allows for the handles to be completely embedded in the doors – a sign of great craftsmanship – and so user-friendly. Made from ebony, teak, zebra wood, oak, corian or stone, you can pick the colours for lacquering from a variety of tones. Of course, the kitchen also comes equipped with the latest stainless steel appliances, and the hoods can be corian, stainless steel, glass or wood according to your taste. A modern kitchen with a weight and strength: the Extra 04 is from MK Style.
