How about a slider table?

Prep space when you're working, and clear walkways when you need them!

Have you considered a moveable island?

That might be a better alternative to create more walkable floorspace when needed

You have to decide whether the look is important, or the function. To me, the peninsula wins on functionality - no having to walk around the island to get things from the fridge to the sink/prep area. Serving food? Well, yes, you have to walk around the peninsula - but with the island, you are still going to be walking from the ovens around the island.

Clearing the tab;e is the least of the issue. Your fridge is in the wrong place on the plan with the island. So too, are the ovens, closing in the cook.

The peninsula plan is far more efficient, and I see no issue with clearing the table, which in both plans, can be tucked against the window wall to seat four, or certainly turned in the other direction.

To have the island, your cook would NEED to be on it, your fridge would move to the cook wall and the ovens to where the fridge and pantry storage are located.

Walking around an island to a fridge, is a FAR bigger consideration than clearing a table for two minutes.

You need a counter depth fridge in any scenario.

I agree with Jan that walking around the island between the fridge and sink would get old. I don't think the kitchen triangle concept is dead as it's about functionality of the space, not a design.

Could you post dimensions of your concepts?

Theres a kitchen forum under the "Gardenweb" portion of Houzz, the people there are seriously in to efficient kitchen layouts, you might want to post your layouts there for some input.

Your kitchen shape and size can neither support cooktops and a wall oven choice, nor an island. You need a range, with a peninsula. Yes, everyone these days wants an island. Until they get one in a too small space and have to walk around it constantly. You can't sell ways get what you want.

I agree with live not all kitchens work well with an island and I would say for this one the peninsula is a much better choice. IMO function over rules pretty everytime in a kitchen

No, the distance is not too far if you locate the fridge further down towards the peninsula. And move the wall oven over there as well. What might have worked in an old cramped enclosed kitchen does not work when you open up walls and sight lines. That current wall oven visually overpowers that wall, and its about 6" smaller than new wall ovens standard sizes. Add the needed 33" cabinet for a new wall oven, and open up that wall and and it looks even more awkward and cramped. It is a focal point looking awkward and cramped. Cooktop ONLYon that wall. Or a nice beefy Pro range.

But, you are creeping up into a pretty expensive remodel here. Are you prepared for the real world numbers that all of this will actually cost?

For what it's worth, my kitchen floor plan is similar to yours, when I had it completely remodeled several years ago I had the island removed & replaced by a peninsula , functions much better & looks much more spacious. Of course, as I was having it done everyone was asking "What? No island???" Everyone agreed afterwards it was the correct decision .

You don't need ANY wall where you are planning that table and pass thru ?? dining area. If it is load bearing, look into burying a new beam/header. Don't end up with the I couldn't make up my mind look. Unify the flooring to hardwood of course.

I don't think you really need an island or a peninsula.

This is easily a 50/80K renovation. That requires a professional kitchen design. Not something from someone trying to sell you cabinets.
