Islands & Peninsulas

An island of calm and order

An island breaks a kitchen up into zones and offers storage, work surfaces and a cozy gathering place.

A peninsula offers you the versatility and space management of an island, but takes up less floor space.

Exploring Your Options

An island or peninsula can dramatically increase the storage space and work surface in your kitchen. Merillat recommends working with a design professional to create your final kitchen layout, but it’s helpful to do your homework here first.

Take time to think about the space you have to work with and how you plan to use your kitchen. Then use the examples shown here to start imagining the size, style, and features of your own island or peninsula.
