        "text": "A peninsula can help create a separation between the kitchen and living area without fully closing the opening, but its height and finish determine how open the rooms still feel. Standard counter height supports everyday prep and seating, while a taller divider provides more visual separation.\n\nContext: The best choice depends on sightlines, natural light, household use, and whether the peninsula should function as a work surface or a boundary. A full-height wall or tall cabinet can make a small area feel more enclosed.\n\nKey factors:\n- Desired visibility between rooms\n- Seating and work-surface height\n- Natural light and sightlines\n- Finished panels visible from the living area\n\nPractical guidance: Review elevations from both rooms, not just the kitchen side. Use a 3D visualization to compare open, standard-height, and partially divided options.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design includes layout and visualization options in its design-build planning.",
