The National Post interviewed Outeriors president Daniel Albo for an article titled Modern living: Beyond the barbecue. It looks at how outdoor kitchens have become as high-functioning and well-designed as indoor kitchens and how the pandemic has impacted home design.

The article also looks at:

• outdoor kitchen trends
• how people are using their outdoor living spaces
• outdoor kitchen design tips

4 takeaway quotes from Outeriors

Here are some of the takeaway quotes from Albo’s portion of the article, which provides some interesting insight into modern outdoor kitchen design trends:

1. “There’s no question we aggressively grew our business post-2019 as a result of COVID. When restaurants were closed, people couldn’t entertain indoors, making the outdoor landscape and outdoor kitchens a new-found entertaining space.”
2. “Any luxury feature that can go into an indoor kitchen can go outdoors.”
3. “When we started the business six years ago, rustic-looking materials were trending like traditional wood shaker-panel doors and intricate cabinetry. Post-COVID, people are gravitating to flat-panel cabinetry and a minimalistic look. Powder-coated marine-grade aluminum has taken off.”
4. “Darker shades make up 90 percent of our projects. The colours we see most often are Harbour Blue, which is a deep tone, Graphite, a gunmetal grey, or Mika, a taupe-bronze.”

Outeriors president Daniel Albo was recently interviewed by the Toronto Sun for an article in their Homes section.

Albo talks about how the demand for outdoor kitchens is soaring as Canadians take advantage of the warm weather to use their backyards more.

Outdoor cooking spaces are also more popular than ever as a post-pandemic world beckons, which means the return of backyard gatherings.

Albo shares his expertise to explain what essentials outdoor kitchens should include, design tips, outdoor cooking space trends, and price ranges for an outdoor kitchen project.
