What is the minimum kitchen size needed for a universal design?
Virtually any kitchen size can incorporate universal design features. In terms of floor space, however, plan for a minimum of 30″ to 48″ in front of each appliance and work surface, and 42″- to 48″-wide aisles, to make the kitchen universally accessible. If an island is included in your design, make sure that it doesn’t impede access to any part of the kitchen or impair workflow, and that it is large enough to be truly useful.
