Today, many homeowners are finding that the perfect summer getaway is not an island or beach far away from home but outdoor kitchen services in Plano. Outdoor kitchens are fast becoming the most in-demand space for homeowners, enhancing what was traditionally no more than a set of plastic chairs and a table and offering the perfect outdoor entertainment space.
Outdoor kitchens Frisco-based are now functioning as a place where dinner party food can be consumed in tandem with guests being entertained. Such versatility does not have to be boring either; it can be done in style with The Viking Craftsman’s outdoor kitchen services in Plano, TX.
Outdoor kitchen spaces can turn an otherwise unused space into an inviting extension of your home. When designing outdoor spaces, they must be thought of as an extension of your existing features, one which uses the same design principles applied to any other part of your home. If done correctly, outdoor spaces have the potential to become the most attractive part of your living and entertaining spaces.
In addition to style, anyone looking to create or enhance a mundane outdoor kitchen needs to consider comfort. Chairs, tables, and other seating in an outdoor region need to be comfortable with deep cushions. There should always be more seating than not; it is better to remove chairs than find yourself without. Colors are important too. While most outdoor kitchen units and grills are stainless steel, they can be covered or built into a counter and table design that hides that and allows it to blend seamlessly into the refreshing spa colors of your seating areas.
The need for versatility
Naturally, being versatile brings with it many benefits for those considering an outdoor kitchen remodel or enhancement. Many consumers today anticipate that their furniture will serve two functions in lieu of one and as such, manufacturers work hard to design tables that have drop leaves in tandem with chairs that function indoors and outdoors, and of course benches that double as storage facilities.
Fire pits and outdoor lamps can ensure that you can grill late into the night and that your entertaining area is well lit. And of course, never underestimate the power of customized hand crafted furniture that can be suited to the needs of your outdoor space. Such designs can be customized to fit any oddly shaped corners or uneven spaces that you have in your yard. They can be designed with your outdoor cooking needs in mind, including small sinks and trash compartments.

Stephanie Volm2024-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with Morten on two projects now. We first found him while searching for a contractor to help us address an urgent kitchen remodel after our dishwasher suddenly flooded out our lower cabinets. Morten was so knowledgable and really guided us through all of the decisions and considerations we didn't know we were going to have to make. He helped us think about HOW we use our kitchen, given us a bunch of suggestions on functionality that may be helpful and also working through some ideas I had. He was a great partner. Even more so, the quality of his work is really fantastic. We got estimates from multiple contractors and chose Morten because his approach to building for our house (and not in some random factory) made us know we were getting quality. Our cabinets are so impressive and such high quality, we get compliments all of the time. He helped us with sliding shelves, magic corners, multi-purpose drawers and even hidden storage on the ends for our dog leashes! I love that he does the work himself and doesn't have a huge team of subcontractors. It's super clear he takes great pride in his work and it's reflected in my house now! We loved working with him so much we then asked him to do a guest suite remodel. I had a vision for the bathroom vanity for both storage and look and he executed it perfectly! He retro-fitted pocket doors for us and took out awful built-ins to make the bathroom beautiful, clean, and add some much needed space. He's easy to work with, gives great insight, has outstanding quality and ensures you love the final product. We'll be doing our primary bathroom/bedroom next year and will be using Morten for that too! I can't say enough about how happy we are with his professionalism, pure craftsman talent, and outstanding work! Susan Krenek2024-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morten just completed the last of our first floor renovation and we love it! He finished renovation of our master bathroom, bar, family room, kitchen and stairway after water damage from the freeze in 2021. We have been very happy with his workmanship, so we had him back to reconfigure our laundry room. We love the functionality of our new space! David Rivera2024-02-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Craftsmanship very happy with project performed for us Jennifer Roemer2023-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Morten in February 2022 to completely gut my kitchen and master bath. He also took down wood paneling and cabinets in my living room. He was fabulous. He spent time with me getting to know my needs and designed custom cabinets in both locations. For example, I said I need a proper place to store my blow dryer and other styling products. So he made a drawer with holders for the blow dryer and flat iron. Like a salon! He will listen to you and come up with a design to suit your needs and space. Morten was in my house nearly every day from Feb. to August and I trust him 100%. He is meticulous (trained as an electrical engineer and it shows in the care he takes measuring and ensuring, for example, that the shower pan will properly drain. Mine did not before.). He is neat and tidy as are the electrician and painter with whom he works. If you’re looking for a genuine craftsman who doesn’t deal in pre-fabricated materials and construction, you cannot go wrong with Morten. I told him the other day I look forward to coming home from work and being in my new kitchen and bathroom. I love them! Photos below are before and after first for kitchen and then bathroom. Joanne Hannaman2020-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friends and neighbors referred us to Morton, The Viking Craftsman for a new outdoor deck that evolved into a 1st floor remodel of our home. Morten did not disappoint, all work exceeded our expectations! The quality of custom workmanship is exceptional. Morten’s clear communication of process, timelines and costs helped us break down our design, appliance and hardware decisions into logical, manageable pieces. His painting and flooring subcontractors were just as impressive. Great quality and attention to detail! We were particularly grateful for Morton’s calm demeanor and his honesty, flexibility and expertise in kitchen and bathroom design. At the completion of the project we fell in love with our 20yr old home all over again. We also made a great friend in Morten, he is a true Craftsman!! We highly recommend The Viking Craftsman without reservation to anyone looking to renovate/remodel their home. P Grabow (pcg)2020-03-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Morten is a real craftsman -- talented, professional, helpful and pleasant to work with. He modified our master bath by replacing the tub with a large shower, reconfigured the old shower/toilet area, and resurfaced/painted the walls. His painting sub did a fantastic job -- helping us choose the color with detailed, professional execution. saabviggen932019-08-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent contractor. Does 99% of work himself. Meticulous attention to detail. Beautifully handcrafted woodwork vanity. Easy to work with. Value priced. Best possible bathroom renovation experience. Hiring him again for additional work in other parts of house. Excellent at plumbing, woodwork, tiling, aesthetics. Hire him! Joey Merz2016-09-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished a project with Morten the Viking Craftsman. Morten did a complete rebuild of our living room builtin cabinets to accommodate a new flat screen TV configuration. We found Morten by researching online. From our very first conversation Morten was professional and knowledgeable. We have had challenges with contractors in the past, as most people have, but that was not the case here. Morten did an outstanding job, he was a pleasure to work with and did exceptional work. He was efficient and minimized the impact to our home during construction. In my opinion, Morten is a very honest, genuine person who I would and will recommend to all of my friends and neighbors. We couldn't be happier!
