The vibrancy of this shade of blue pops against the neutral backsplash and white cabinets.
Whether you opt for a subtle hue or go bold is entirely your choice.
Contrast of any kind always adds more visual interest to any room.

This creates cohesion, merging everything seamlessly.
The peninsula divides the cooking area while maintaining an easy flow in the open-concept space.

The extra counter space also leaves plenty of room for a side of apps, too.
Blues, whites, and wicker textures are always welcome.

Build In Cookbook Storage
@renovation_ropemaker_hill/ Instagram
This peninsula features practical shelving to store cookbooks.
The same space could be adapted to store glassware, extra vases, liquor bottles, or other essentials.
The extra space also makes more room for dining, preventing cramping when eating in group controls.

Low-profile stools and minimal storage and appliances on the countertops also contribute to the streamlined look.
Add Personal Touches

Try an L-Shaped Layout

Can’t commit to just one color in the kitchen?
@cabinetsdotcom/ Instagram
Try painting your peninsula in a hue that’s different from adjacent cabinets, like this white-and-green combo.
These wooden and wire beauties are certainly full of personality and style.
Add some pep to your kitchen with bold green bar stools that will pop against any peninsula.

Classic wood and sleekmarblecreates a timeless feel.
Make the island and peninsula roughly the same size for a cohesive look.
The curved edges of the stools pictured here also create a seamless flow that makes the space more user-friendly.

This geometric design creates a bold contrast with the neutral kitchen, turning the peninsula into a focal point.
Paint the base of the peninsula a shade darker to add subtle dimension to a neutral space.
This helps make the most of your layout, even if you’re a bitshort on square footage.

Show Off Your Style
@farmhousefor8/ Instagram
Let your kitchen peninsula reflect your personal style.
Kitchen peninsulas arent outdated, but they have been overshadowed in recent years by kitchen islands.
@renovation_ropemaker_hill/ Instagram
Peninsulas remain popular to maximize functionality in small spaces where the layout isnt sufficient for a free-standing island.
Keep them looking updated with fresh paint, stylish bar seating, and modern countertops.
That said, a typical peninsula will measure between 60 and 90 inches.
