Adding Counter Space

Image 6 of 6

I have a large country kitchen with little counter space. How can I get more counter space without building an island?

A good rule of thumb is to have 1 lineal foot of counter to every 10 square feet of floor space, so if your kitchen is 1000 sq ft, you need 10 linear feet. If you need additional counter space, incorporate a table which has been covered with either stone or butcher block into your kitchen. As long as your table is between 30 inches and 36 inches in height, it will function well as an additional work surface.
