Peninsula Kitchen Ideas

Featuring cabinetry that spans three walls and an additional run that is fitted at a perpendicular angle, peninsula kitchen ideas maximise storage and counters in any room. The extra unit encloses a cooking area, making these kitchen layout ideas a popular option for those looking to define zones in an open space. From light-enhancing shades to adding natural patterns and even tall storage, these peninsula kitchens create a design that is both functional and stylish.

 
"A peninsula is handy in small layouts. It provides storage and worktop space, and allows for greater flexibility. Some peninsulas also incorporate seating, creating a breakfast bar for dining or hosting."

    7. Embrace Grains

    Peninsula designs often connect living spaces, so pick finishes that work in both. Woodgrain, for example, adds character and cosiness.
