A minimum of 36" is generally recommended for space between refrigerator and sink

“We’re tight for space in our redesign. How much space should we leave between the sink and the refrigerator?”

Assuming there is no island in this design, then the recommended minimum space is 36″. If there was an island, and if space was extremely tight, you might be able to get by with less. Not ideal, but sometimes compromises have to be made. Or (not to stir up trouble!) you might consider taking a second (third? hundredth?) look at your layout design.
