        "text": "A kitchen island stands detached in the center of the room, while a peninsula anchors to an existing wall or counter run with three open sides. Islands offer 360-degree traffic flow and work well in spacious, open-concept layouts. However, they require substantial clearance on every side. A peninsula works better in L-shaped or smaller kitchens because it creates extra prep space, cabinet storage, and casual seating without eating up center floor clearance. Choosing between them depends on your room width and everyday movement patterns.",
