Peninsula Kitchen
What is a Peninsula Kitchen?
A peninsular kitchen includes a peninsula which is almost the same as an island but it is connected to a wall at one end rather than standing freely in the centre. Kitchen Fitters In Birmingham have installed many peninsulas and we know they are great for many types of kitchens.
A peninsula acts as an extension of your worktops and can aid in separating areas in a kitchen with an open-plan design. You can access a peninsula from three sides, which is one less than an island.
In this type of layout, the peninsula protrudes from one wall and has three accessible sides, which differentiates this layout from a U or L shaped kitchen. In these design layouts, the units are placed up against the walls which means only one side of the unit is accessible.
A kitchen with peninsula is a great choice for people who have always dreamed of owning a kitchen with an island but just don’t have enough space for it. By installing a peninsula kitchen you get the advantages of an island without the need for a larger kitchen.
The layout comes with identical advantages of an island kitchen. It provides additional workspace, storage and also gives an extra space for entertaining guests. Since the peninsula is attached to a wall at one end, it leaves a lot of space at the other end of the peninsula so this is an excellent layout choice for smaller rooms where space is scarce.

Where Should The Peninsula Go?
The exact location and specifications of the peninsula will depend on a number of factors such it’s dimensions and the layout of your kitchen. You can use the peninsula in a variety of ways to achieve different results:
