9 Polished Kitchen Peninsula Ideas

Maybe your like

For small kitchens, an island can take up a lot of square footage. Peninsula kitchens, on the other hand, shift to one end attaching to a wall or a set of cabinets. Even narrow ones can fit as few as two barstools. Some are used just as surfaces, while others hold storage or appliances, such as a cooktop or wine cooler.

The peninsula kitchen is more space-efficient than an island. Therefore, it’s an optimal solution for a small- or medium-sized kitchen. Allow for 42 inches between the edge of the peninsula to the next countertop or wall. In contrast, an island will need adequate free space on either end to move around. Discuss with your Sweeten contractor how a peninsula can make your kitchen work smarter for you. Here are some ideas for your own renovation.
