        "text": "A kitchen island requires a wider room footprint, while a peninsula works better in narrow spaces or L-shaped configurations. To comfortably fit an island, you need at least 36 to 42 inches of clear aisle space around all four sides for walking and opening appliance doors, requiring a room width of at least 13 to 14 feet. A peninsula connects to an existing wall or cabinet line, eliminating one walkway to save space. Choosing an island offers flexible multi-sided seating and traffic flow, but a peninsula provides continuous counter space and preserves walkways in compact kitchens.",
