Kitchen islands questions
Is my kitchen big enough for an island?
If the room is about 12 feet wide or more, you can usually keep 42 inches of walkway around it.
Does an island need a permit?
A plain island does not. Outlets, a sink or a cooktop do.
Island or peninsula?
In rooms narrower than about 12 feet, a peninsula usually fits better.
