The BTO Kitchen Cabinet Design Guide: Work Triangle, Countertops & Hardware
Avoid the common BTO kitchen mistakes — work triangle, countertops, hardware and ventilation explained.
The kitchen is where BTO owners most often overspend — and most often regret it later. Most of these pitfalls can be avoided at the design stage.
Five things to get right
- Work triangle: keep sink, hob and fridge within easy reach. A U-shape suits most 4-room kitchens.
- Countertop upstand: a quartz upstand around 9 cm keeps splashes off the wall and is easy to clean.
- Pull-out baskets vs. bins: baskets trap dirt in corners and rust over time; many owners prefer removable, washable bins.
- Door sizes: don’t oversize doors — size them to how you actually reach in.
- Ventilation holes: shoe cabinets, DB boxes and appliance cabinets all need airflow.
These details are only possible with true custom work. BTO Group Reno is factory-direct — worktops, cabinet bodies and hardware in one place, priced transparently by the foot-run.
