FAQs About Kitchen Island and Bar Counter Design & Build

What is the ideal size for a kitchen island?

The ideal size depends on your kitchen layout. A standard island is 1.2m to 2.4m (4-8 feet) long and 60-90cm (2-3 feet) wide, allowing enough space for movement and seating.

How much space should be left around a kitchen island?

A minimum of 90cm (3 feet) clearance is recommended on all sides for comfortable movement, and 120cm (4 feet) is ideal in high-traffic kitchens.

What is the best countertop material for a kitchen island?

Quartz, granite, marble, and sintered stone are popular for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Onyx and semi-precious stones add a luxury touch with backlit effects.

Can a kitchen island include a sink and cooktop?

Yes! Many kitchen islands feature an integrated sink, cooktop, or both, making meal prep and cooking more efficient.

What’s the difference between a kitchen island and a bar counter?

A kitchen island is typically multifunctional, used for prep, storage, and seating, while a bar counter is more for entertaining and casual dining, often taller than a standard island.

How can I maximize storage in my kitchen island?

Consider deep drawers, built-in spice racks, pull-out trash bins, wine coolers, and hidden cabinets for maximum functionality.

What type of seating is best for a kitchen island or bar counter?

For a standard-height island (90cm / 36 inches), choose counter stools (24-26 inches seat height). For a bar-height counter (100-110cm / 40-44 inches), use bar stools (28-30 inches seat height).

Can a kitchen island be movable?

Yes! A portable or rolling kitchen island is a great option for small spaces, providing flexibility when needed.

How much does it cost to build a custom kitchen island or bar counter?

Costs vary based on materials, size, and features. Prices typically range from AED 5,000 to AED 50,000+, depending on customization.

Can I add lighting to my kitchen island?

Absolutely! Pendant lights, LED strips, and under-counter lighting enhance functionality and aesthetics, creating the perfect ambiance.
