Can I Put An Island In A Small Kitchen?

 

Home Love Construction is here to answer the question of whether or not you can put an island in a small kitchen. The short answer is yes, you can, but the size of the island will depend on the size of the kitchen. In this article, we will go over some general principles for laying out the design of a kitchen and how to determine the size of an island.

 

When it comes to placing an island in a kitchen, it is recommended to have at least 36 inches from countertop edge to countertop edge of free walking space on all sides of the island. Although this is not a requirement for personal homes, it is still a good idea as it creates more space and prevents the kitchen from feeling cramped. Going below 36 inches can make the space feel tight and uncomfortable.

 

Once you have determined that you have 36 inches of free walking space on all sides of the island, you can then determine the size of the island. If you don’t have enough space in your kitchen to put an island, but you still want one, you may need to consider expanding the footprint of your house or taking space from an adjacent room to expand the size of your kitchen.
