Hi Nan, here are some ideas for not making mistakes when building a kitchen island. Good luck with your project. Don't Make These Kitchen Island Design Mistakes
Jul 11, 2016 - The general rule is that you will need at least 42 to 48 inches (106.68 cm to 121.92 cm) of open space around your island. Another lifesaving guideline: if your kitchen is less than 13 feet wide, we don't recommend adding an island at all.
