DESIGN AND PLANNING
Originating in the United States, the kitchen with peninsula has also become a must in our country since the 1970s. And rightly so, since a kitchen with peninsula creates a particular play on space that does away the linearity of a single-wall arrangement and involves the centre of the room.
Its remarkable versatility allows the dining table to be dispensed with because a peninsula serves as a surface for working and eating.
Unlike the kitchen with island, however, the peninsula solution creates continuity with other kitchen elements.
1. The kitchen with peninsula is ideal if you are looking for a partition between two areas in the same room
The kitchen with peninsula is a good solution if you are looking for practicality and functionality: in fact it adapts to any type of room and home because its malleability offers a variety of layouts and options for use.
An extension to the base can for example can be helpful when the linear worktop is not long enough, enabling a hob, oven or sink and storage elements to be installed in the bottom part.
The kitchen with peninsula finds its ideal location in open spaces because its particular configuration allows the living area and kitchen to be harmoniously integrated: the two environments become interconnected, ensuring that the person doing the cooking is never isolated from the family and can enjoy the company of guests when present.
Those with a large, square-shaped kitchen will find the peninsula a valuable element that adds functionality.
Even in medium-sized spaces, kitchens with peninsula prove to be a smart choice because they allow freedom of movement that otherwise would be difficult to achieve; even smaller spaces can be optimised through strategically placed pull-out worktops.
The most popular layouts are L- or C-shaped, which are suitable for rooms of all kinds and sizes.
Appreciated for their sophisticated aesthetics, there are also kitchens with central peninsula, where the linear worktop is interrupted by a peninsula, which usually serves as a dining table or washing area.
All these arrangements must in any case follow some basic principles: the extractor hood must be placed above the hob (wherever it is positioned) and the the appliances must be positioned so that the peninsula can be used as a worktop in its own right.
The dynamic and visually appealing kitchen with peninsula is one of the most popular and sought-after solutions. At Veneta Cucine dealers you can view a wide range of solutions and receive the advice of expert interior designers for custom-made designs.
