Peninsula Kitchen (G shaped)

Peninsula Kitchens Melbourne - Functional, Stylish and Space-Smart

A peninsula kitchen is a smart evolution of the island layout, featuring a countertop and cabinetry unit attached to one wall or an existing run of cabinets, creating a partial island that’s open on three sides. This layout offers the perfect blend of openness and definition, giving you additional workspace, storage and seating without requiring the floor space of a freestanding island.

At Attila Kitchens, our G-shaped kitchen designs maximise functionality and flow, making them ideal for both compact and open-plan homes. The peninsula naturally separates the cooking and dining areas, encourages conversation while preparing meals, and adds a continuous surface for serving or entertaining. It’s a practical, space-saving option that enhances the kitchen’s usability while maintaining a modern, connected feel.

When planning your peninsula kitchen renovation, consider how the attached counter can help define zones within your space. This design works beautifully as part of an L-shaped kitchen or U-shaped kitchen, forming a G-shaped layout that optimises corner areas and creates an efficient workflow. Explore Attila’s range of materials, finishes and layouts to create a custom peninsula kitchen in Melbourne that perfectly complements your lifestyle.

Layout Description

A peninsula kitchen is similar to an L-shaped layout but includes an additional extension of cabinets and countertops connected to one of the walls, creating a partial enclosure.

Pros

Peninsula kitchens provide additional counter space and storage options compared to traditional L-shaped layouts. They offer a casual dining or seating area and create a more open feel than a full island.

Cons

The peninsula may reduce traffic flow in the kitchen, and if not well-designed, it can make the space feel slightly closed off.

Design Tip

Consider using a contrasting color or texture for the peninsula to make it stand out as a focal point. Incorporating pendant lighting above the peninsula can enhance its visual appeal and create a cozy ambiance.
