Peninsula

Is that drawing to scale? It doesn't appear to be, which makes it look cramped (in which case you're likely to get recommendations not to include prep sink).

My kitchen is about the same size as yours and u-shaped, and I included a prep sink. The two sinks are equal distances from the range on opposite sides of the U. The prep sink is near the fridge, and DW is next to cleanup sink. I love that configuration and would do it again.

Thanks for your comments. I based my sketch on some artistic renderings. Here is an earlier drawing by an architect but some things have changed a bit. It should show the scale better maybe

We are changing our layout from a u shape with a 60 inch middle and it would be super tight with two of us prepping in there at the same time. But, it’s up to you and how you live.

It does still look a little tight for a second sink. That said, I'll reiterate that I LOVE having a second sink - but my space is about 3' wider between the two sinks.

In previous threads about whether to add a prep sink, some comments have suggested adding a second faucet to a single large sink - which allows two people to access water. Another consideration is how you use your sinks. In my case, I really like all of my coffeee/beverage stuff right next to a sink, and all the other stuff that typically sits next to a sink (drain board, dirty dishes, etc.) made a single one too crowded.

So even though I said I think it might be tight for a second sink, if you really think it will make your kitchen easier for 2 people to work in, it might be worth it. Keep in mind that allocation a base cabinet to a sink affects the size any trash pullouts vs. drawers or other storage.

If you do put a sink on the peninsula, I'd suggest moving it away from the edge so you have a landing zone for things coming out of the fridge.

Thanks for your comments. they made us think about some dimensions and We cleared the living room out and mocked up the kitchen. And we’re leaning toward the sink. It’s funnny that the kitchen sounded small on paper but mocked up it felt enormous to us. Our living room in this rental is 14’8 by 14 so the “kitchen” was most of it. The kitchen here is 8 by 8’2 so the new one will be 3x the area. And the aisle felt big enough for 2. We both stood in it and tried it out. But our experiences are in smaller Spaces.

Thanks for the comments. They made us think and mock it up which was fun
