Kitchens with a peninsula: the models
Round or rectangular kitchen peninsula? Counter or cooking area?
Which composition do you dream of for your kitchen? And why, specifically, a kitchen with a peninsula? We have the answer: attractive and functional, a kitchen peninsula rightly counts among the best solutions for optimising space, as it can replace the dining table and/or add an extra work surface. What are your needs? Design a kitchen peninsula that reflects your tastes and habits.
Kitchen peninsula as a snack top
Whether you live in a small flat or have a large open-plan space, a kitchen peninsula can substitute a kitchen table, serving as a convenient counter where you can enjoy everything from a quick weekday breakfast to a Sunday brunch. Got guests arriving? By making use of high kitchen stools, you can seat and entertain your guests while adding the final touches to your dishes.
The question now is: rectangular or round peninsula? A rounded-shape counter is generally smaller, lending a sense of greater informality. The rectangular table, however - perhaps the more “traditional” choice for kitchens with a peninsula - offers (and occupies) a wider space for eating, working, or simply getting together with friends.
Kitchen peninsula with worktop and table
Speaking of your loved ones, do you adore treating them to delicious home-made food? An extra work surface could come in handy for kneading fresh pasta: this is where the peninsula comes to your rescue, customisable to your liking with a cooking area, a sink and a top.
Our advice: to gain a few more precious centimetres, accessorise the peninsula base unit with drawers and open-fronted modules, creating niches where you can store tablecloths for special occasions and other essential kitchen utensils.
