        "text": "Deciding between an island and a peninsula comes down to room dimensions, clearances, and daily use. A freestanding island requires adequate perimeter clearance—typically 36 to 48 inches on all sides—to allow cabinet doors, dishwashers, and ovens to open safely without blocking walkways. An island provides uninterrupted circulation around both sides and serves as a natural gathering hub. A peninsula connects to an existing wall, making it an efficient choice for narrower footprints because it eliminates one walkway while still delivering counter seating and extra cabinet storage.",
