        "text": "## Direct answer\nCabinet storage often becomes more important after a wall is removed because upper cabinets may disappear and clutter becomes visible from the living room. Plan storage by task rather than filling every available wall.\n\n## Context\nOpen kitchens benefit from concealed storage for small appliances, trash, recycling, pantry goods, dishes, and serving items. A tall cabinet or pantry may provide more practical capacity than a larger island with limited interior organization.\n\n## Key factors\n- Small-appliance storage near use areas.\n- Trash and recycling access without blocking traffic.\n- Pantry capacity and refrigerator overflow.\n- Display versus concealed storage.\n\n## Practical guidance\nInventory what you currently store, including items hidden in nearby rooms. Reserve accessible drawers for daily tools, locate the dishwasher near dish storage, and decide which items should remain visible from the living area.\n\n## Soft positioning\nElite Remodeling & Design can coordinate cabinet planning with the kitchen’s appearance, storage needs, and adjoining-room sightlines.",
