Kitchen Island Size
How to size a kitchen island? Do you want a small kitchen island with seating or a focal point. When choosing the size of your island, first consider what purpose your island will serve. Do you need space for food prep? Do you need storage in your island for built-in appliances? How much seating do you want to provide? A luxury kitchen island isn’t based off of its size, but its functionality. The island needs to provide enough counter space for personal preference, while also allowing for comfortable walking space all around.
Homeowners should also determine an ideal height for their island. Table height is 30” high, while traditional counter height is 36” high and bar height is 42” high. A taller 42” island is good for a breakfast bar with barstools, while a 36” counter-height allows for comfort while cutting vegetables, preparing snacks, and making meals. For those who wish for both, a multi-level kitchen island provides the opportunity to separate food prep and dining areas. If you wish to have seating at your island, you will also want to include an overhang that is adequate for legroom.
