Statistics show that 9 out of 10 people express a desire for a kitchen island in the 1st meeting with their kitchen designer. That’s because almost everyone loves the benefits from having an island in their kitchen. The question for many people is, do they have sufficient space for one?
The following are things to keep in mind when you’re deciding whether you have space for this highly demanded kitchen feature:
- Don’t Assume Anything – Don’t jump to the conclusion that there’s not enough room for an island. Let your designer run the space numbers and determine if you have a real option for some type of island. Many people are surprised to find that they actually can fit an island in their kitchen.
- Clearance Zone is Key – The key to island options is that you have enough clearance space between the island and the cabinets across from them for your walkway. Even if you think there’s not enough space, still allow your designer to inspect measurements and see if there are some smaller selections that will still work.
- Custom Island Solutions – Don’t underestimate what can be done to alter and customize an island to fit your kitchen. Islands can be made up of the classic base cabinets, or even wall cabinets and other alternatives to make them slimmer.
- Consider Alternative Options – A peninsula may be a possibility for you if there’s not enough room for a free standing island. You can also rearrange your layout for possible additional options. Rolling small islands can be something to consider as well.
