When restaurants were closed, people couldn\u2019t entertain indoors, making the outdoor landscape and outdoor kitchens a new-found entertaining space.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAny luxury feature that can go into an indoor kitchen can go outdoors.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDarker 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.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>View the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpost.com\/news\/canada\/modern-living-beyond-the-barbecue\">here<\/a> on the National Post\u2019s website<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Post interviewed Outeriors president Daniel Albo.
