COLUMBIA, United States - October 30, 2026 COLUMBIA, MD - GBC Kitchen & Bath has published a planning guide for homeowners who are thinking about adding an island during a kitchen remodel.

The guide, updated on October 26, 2026, explains how to judge whether a room can take an island before any cabinetry is ordered.

"An island only works when the aisles, appliance doors and seating still have room around it," said Esin Mills, director of operations at GBC Kitchen & Bath.
