However, some overlaps of the principle zones should be avoided where possible. This includes an overlap of the prep and wash zones.

A peninsula also doesn’t require the same clearance as an island. For example, an average-size island, about 4 by 8 feet (1,200 by 2,400 millimeters), would need a clearance zone of about 3 feet (1,000 millimeters). But a peninsula in the same space would, of course, require that extra yard (meter) only on three sides — giving you back valuable space.

A galley island layout, as seen in this kitchen, allows you to stand at the island but turn with the spin of a heel to reach the workspace behind. In a well-executed design, this allows safe and easy access to all work surfaces, cupboards and appliances during cooking. But beyond a clearance of about 4 feet (1,200 millimeters), most users would have to pivot and then step to reach the countertop opposite. This creates a disconnect between the two spaces and can make the kitchen feel laborious to use.
