COVID-19 changed much about how people live. Early on and throughout the height of the pandemic, they were encouraged to spend time outdoors to reduce their exposure to the virus and minimize the spread to others. Going on walks and hikes, packing picnic lunches, golfing, skiing and boating, kayaking and canoeing were all recommended activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to maintain as much normalcy as possible during a difficult time, many people reconsidered how they could spend more time outdoors while being at their own home. While outdoor living was admittedly popular before the pandemic, it blossomed as people realized they could not only enjoy the company of extended family and friends more safely, they could also potentially improve their own mental health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, many people are building outdoor living, cooking and entertaining spaces, sometimes quite elaborate, that give them the ability to more thoroughly enjoy the great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, KBDN<\/em> asked designers to share outdoor kitchens and living spaces that transform how their clients live, and cook, outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n
