Why choose an island

A freestanding island needs no wall, can face seating or a view, and often doubles as a bar with overhang seating on one side. It is the most flexible way to place a kitchen exactly where you want it.

Planning

Island dimensions

A typical island runs 6-10 ft long and about 2-3 ft deep, or deeper with a raised bar. Leave at least 3-4 ft of clearance on every side so people can move and sit around it.
