Sink Distance from Side Wall

10 years ago

Hi All,

My DH and I have been using a temporary kitchen for the last year+ and are starting to work toward designing & installing the "real" cabinets etc. We're going to have a peninsula extending from a wall (no cabinets/blind corner) and would like to include a prep sink in the peninsula. Can anyone tell me how far from the wall a sink should be placed. We'll have lots of space (48" +) to the right of the sink. TIA

Ideally for elbow room you want at least 18 inches on one side of the sink and for prep you want 36 on the other side of the sink so at a total distance of 48, exclusive of the sink. You don't really have all that much space. I encourage you to post your floor plan and let other people chime in on things they would do. There are some amazing people on this forum.

practigal - thank you for the prompt reply. I was saying that I would have a minimum of 48" to the right of the sink. The peninsula is 8' long. For now, I'm not going to post the layout, as we've been living with it for a year and know what we like/works. If, as we move along, other issues come up, I may reconsider the offer of help.

Where will the range/cooktop be located, in relation to the prep sink and prep space? Behind to the left, or across the aisle to the right?
