Suggested Bar Stool Heights - 28-32", measured from floor to top of seat for bars tables 41-44 inches above floor.
If foam padded/spring cushioned, closer to 32" or more [factor in compression]
minimum overhang seating at a counter?.....
18" for table height (30" high surface).....
15" for counter height (36" high surface).....
12" for bar height (42" high surface)
Each seat in length of peninsula?.....24" per seat
Clearance allow walk behind stools.....
32" NO traffic passes behind a seated diner...
36" allow traffic edge past seated diner..
44" allow traffic walk past seated diner
Difference between standard, counter height and bar[Pub] height tables is:
Standard Table Height is 28” – 30”H
Counter Height is 35” – 39”H
Bar Height is 40” – 43”H
Bar Stools 28-30"
Islands and Peninsulas
Islands and Peninsulas are the two most likely locations for kitchen seating. As the name implies, an
Island has aisle space on all sides and come in all shapes and sizes.
The size, height and use of the island will determine how much seating space can be practically incorporated into it.
Peninsulas are connected to other cabinetry or a wall and are often used as a divider between the kitchen and the adjoining space.
allow 24" "elbow room" for each seat .
36" to 42" is a good ballpark minimum aisle width for light traffic areas.
Height helps when space is tight
Table Spacing FAQS
Minimum Space Between Rows of Rectangle Tables
minimum spacing needed for rows of tables when service aisle is not needed.
52" from table to table.
18" is allowed for each chair, and 1
6" is the minimum in between chairs.
Rows No Isle
Spacing Rectangle Tables Incorporating a Service Aisle
For the rows you would like to incorporate a service aisle, the space needed in between rows is 66".
This is 2 x 18" for the chairs, and 30" for the service aisle.
With Service Isle
Diagonal Restaurant Layout with Square Tables
For diagonal style square restaurant table setup, you should leave a minimum of 24" in between corners of the tables. The picture to the right illustrates this.
Diagonal Spacing no Isle
Space Between the Wall-allow minimum 48" between the wall, tables along the wall. 18" from the table to the back of the seat, and 30" from the back of the seat to the wall.
Between Wall Diagram
Space Between Large Round Tables
Round Spacing
For banquet style setup using large round tables you should leave a space of 60" minimum.
This is 2 x 18" for the seats, and 24" room in between the chairs.

32" is very narrow, but it depends where the walkway is and the function that it serves. Some general rules of thumb are 36" for one person, 42" for one and a half people (one body passing by a second person facing perpendicular to the first person), and 48" or more for two people to pass comfortably by each other. I hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

No, the minimum as recommended by the National Kitchen and Bath Association would be 36", and if it is a breakfast counter where people are sitting and there is a walkway behind them then the minimum would be 44".
The only time 32" is allowed is when someone is sitting at a breakfast counter and they need to leave their spot, and there is no traffic behind them they only need 32" to back up their seat and leave their spot. Also you need to check your local building codes for the minimum space allowed for a walkway because every municipality have their own rules.

If this is for an island, that is more a freestanding furniture piece, won't be nailed to the floor, you have more leeway spacewise. I am currently spacing the same issue. I say, use cardboard, saw horses and set up something to see how it will work!

The IRC code (adopted by all 50 states, all territories and all protectorates of the US) requires a minimum of 36" for any passageway, so unless that island is on wheels...it won't pass plan check or inspection.

Unless the walkway is also used as a means of egress, there is no minimum. The only reference to cabinets and isles is R307 pictured below. Here is an article that goes into more depth. look at Rule 7.

A square acre is 208.71' X 208.71 but and acre can 1' X 43,560'
Did you know that 1 square mile is equal to 640 acres.
A square Acre(s):
1 Acre = 208.7’ X 208.7’ (rounded down)
5 Acres = 466.7’ X 466.7’ (rounded up)
10 Acres = 660’ X 660’
40 Acres = 1320’ X 1320’ 40 Acre Parcels are Normally Square.
640 Acres (1 Square Mile) – 5280’ X 5280’
