To be frank and candid, kitchen peninsulas have become a bit outdated in style & design, as it dates back to the late 70s & early 80s. In a modern kitchen layout design, there’s plenty of room to maneuver and play around with, and you can show your creativity by infusing new design elements that add to the style, as well as functionality.
A Peninsula Kitchen is somewhat OK for a small sized residence, but if you’ve ample space, why not go for an L-shape or a full rectangle kitchen island design, with stone countertop installation, all around the space. A Peninsula design can offer very little storage space, as you’ve only one straight portion to install storage cabinets. Whereas, in a full rectangular or L-shaped island, you get access to increased space to install wooden cabinets. Moreover, the kitchen looks open, spacious and easy to move around and work, which is not the case with a Peninsula island design, as one end is completely blocked, due to the T-shape.

Without any doubt, a ‘Galley’ style kitchen island design. Almost all luxury hotels and cruise liners have such a kitchen style. It is an ideal and perfect layout for smaller food preparation areas at home, and it oozes out a sleek and lean look. The straight lines and edges of the countertops cutting at right angles and the two rows of cabinets, placed just beneath the stone countertops, look absolutely stunning to the eyes. It is a neat and well organized kitchen layout, with ample space to move around freely, while you’re cooking and preparing mouth watering delicacies for guests and family.
If you’re seriously considering a custom kitchen remodel, always go for a Galley style kitchen layout design that brings about sophistication to the interiors of your home. It is also referred to as a ‘walk through’ kitchen, as it is distinctly characterized by two countertops that run parallel to each other and two walls that face each other. And, there’s enough walking space in between the two rows of countertops with storage cabinets installed just beneath it. This is perhaps what all homeowners in California are considering, while remodeling their outdated kitchens.
Such a kitchen layout definitely goes on to enhance your lifestyle and impress upon your ‘first time’ visitors at home. Many spacious homes go for a Double-L designed kitchen layout, as there’s no dearth of space. Contact us now for FREE quotes and expert consultation regarding your kitchen project.
The fridge or a refrigerator should always be placed in a close proximity to your food preparation area, especially near the washing and cooking zone. This enables swift and easy unloading of grocery items and cooked meals, into the fridge or vice-versa. It should be a spacious area, without causing anki kind of obstruction to the free movement of the user. You should be fully able to open both the doors of the refrigerator, without hitting any utility or permanent installation.
When the fridge is placed near the food preparation zone, it means that the door would remain open for a lesser amount of time, thus providing efficient and fast cooling. You do not have to run from one corner of the kitchen to another to unload the groceries or put inside the cooked meals, cans, bottles or food wraps. If there’s a bench nearby, it can work out fine, as you can keep inside or grab whatever is required into and from the fridge.
If you’ve less space in your kitchen, you can always keep the refrigerator, next to the stove or oven, but with adequate protection, in the form of a heat resistant partition in between the two. This is because it is not the best idea to keep two different appliances side-by-side, when both have opposite functions. One is to cool and the other one is to heat. I guess to get the point.
Maximizing storage is key to creating a functional kitchen, especially in smaller spaces. Here are some smart storage solutions for your kitchen remodel:
Custom cabinets ensure you use every inch of available space. Tailor your cabinetry to include built-in organizers, pull-out shelves, and drawers for easy access to pots, pans, and utensils.
For deep cabinets, pull-out shelves or trays help you access hard-to-reach items without clutter. Perfect for organizing pantry items or small kitchen tools.
Install high cabinets or shelves to store seasonal items or appliances you don’t use daily. If your cabinets are tall, consider adding a pull-down system for easier access.
Maximize corner space with Lazy Susans or pull-out systems. These keep your pantry staples and kitchen gadgets accessible without the mess.
Add open shelves for frequently used items like dishes or cookware. Open shelving adds style and makes everyday access easier, but requires regular upkeep to stay tidy.
Keep trash and recycling bins hidden with pull-out systems inside cabinets. It keeps your kitchen clean and organized while providing easy access.
These storage ideas help maximize space, improve organization, and make your kitchen remodel both functional and stylish.
Yes, you would require a local government permit for a kitchen renovation, if you perform any kind of structural changes or modification to the overall layout, by adding new plumbing lines, tearing down walls & partitions. Else, only clinical changes do not require a permit.
In order to make your kitchen space become more user-friendly, spacious, functional and fully customized to your requirements. In this way, you get increased storage space that makes food preparation easy & efficient.
