Island vs peninsula
Kitchen- Best for
- Rooms with genuine circulation space on all four sides.
- Watch out
- Clearance is the whole question; an island in a room that cannot take it makes the kitchen worse, not better.
- Relative cost
- The most, especially if services run to it.
- Consequential work
- Any sink or hob in the island means plumbing or ducting through the floor — a construction decision, not a layout one.
- Best for
- Small kitchens where the floor is worth more than the extra worktop.
- Watch out
- Loses the social centre an island gives; the run does all the work.
- Relative cost
- None.
- Consequential work
- Prep space must be found in the run instead — check it is adequate.
One option isn't shown yet — coming soon: Peninsula.
Cost lines are relative and typical for the illustrated specification. Relative cost names the direct cost drivers, consequential work names what else changes, and watch out names the checks required. Exceptions and site conditions can change any of them. A relative direction, not an amount. Nothing here is a price; the figure belongs to whoever supplies the item and is set after measurement.Supply and installation confirmed with your specification.
