Interior designer Artem Kropovinsky explains that peninsulas enhance small kitchens by maximizing space while maintaining room flow. Unlike islands that occupy much floor space, peninsulas attach to existing countertops, allowing open floor areas. They serve multiple functions—storage, seating, and additional counter space—all while offering a streamlined aesthetic. Kropovinsky emphasizes the importance of ensuring adequate clearance (36 to 48 inches) around a peninsula to facilitate movement, which is less restrictive compared to islands that need space on all sides.
"Islands work well in open layouts with circulation space on all sides. In tighter kitchens, a peninsula offers function without interrupting movement."
"In a small kitchen, that peninsula should work double (or even triple) duty: providing extra storage, accommodating seating, and extending workable countertops."
