Kitchens 101: The G-Shaped Kitchen

See how the Peninsula is used as the "eat-in" function?
Can also be used as extra counter space.
THE G-SHAPED KITCHEN, also called a Peninsula Kitchen, is a U Kitchen with an island or peninsula added in at one of the ends. Usually the island acts as an eating area and therefore connects the kitchen to the dining room/space because of this common function (eating). It is also a great use of space for those who want an eat-in kitchen but cannot accommodate a full dining/breakfast set. Because the kitchen is almost completely enclosed traffic CAN build up – so not too many chefs in this layout.


SIDE NOTE: In case you were wondering what is the difference between an island and a peninsula? An island is stand-alone and unconnected to the other storage areas and counter tops, whilst a peninsula is connected to the other storage areas and counter tops.
