IS THERE ROOM FOR
AN ISLAND?
01: LARGE ISLAND
A large island, which often includes a faucet
or cooking surface, invites people to hang
out and help with prep, gather for a casual
meal, work on homework, or just provide a
set of ears for a talkative cook. It might be
bar height or counter height, and typically
includes seating for three or more people.
02: MIDSIZE ISLAND
If there’s no room for a large island, there still
may be room for an island that increases the
amount of counter area and adds more
under-cabinet storage, and even seating space
for one or two people.
03: SMALL ISLAND
In a smaller space, a simple prep-only island
can still make cooking easier during dinner
parties or your annual Thanksgiving hosting duty.
04: PENINSULA
Maybe it’s not an island—but a peninsula can
be just as useful, and have the same basic
characteristics and create the same feeling
as an island.
Islands add flexibility—more prep area, more storage, more sitting-and-talking,
and often even more cooking space. As a rule, there should be no less than 36
inches between the island and the surrounding cabinets and walls. More than 48
inches is required if you add seating around your island. KraftMaidONE
