Although every kitchen is different and sometimes adding an Island just isn’t practical due to the amount of space in the kitchen. However, if you are looking to fit an island into your kitchen design, the general rule of thumb is you need at least an 80 cm gap between your island and worktops to give you enough space to open cupboards and walk through. The average island is around 90cm deep and you need to ensure that you have at least 250cm between your cabinets and the opposite wall.
