Just wait until you discover the dishwasher.
I wanted to put a rack for those dishwasher trays into a regular cupboard, so that we could have basically a real dishwasher for dirty stuff, and a cupboard for clean stuff so that we never have to empty it.
My husband Veto'd it, because "that's the epitome of laziness". Which I think is exactly the point, but whatever. It's his job to empty the dishwasher now, which solves the problem too.
Do you mean like this?

It's basically in every kitchen in Finland, and has spread somewhat to the other Nordic countries, but is apparently rare elsewhere.
No, I mean those dishwasher drawers you have in there? You should be able to take those and just slide them into a regular cupboard. You out empty ones in the dishwasher, and over time you fill those when you use the dishes.
This idea is too good to not exist
that is basically the idea with commercial dishwasher racks and well basically all commercial kitchen containers/trays follow the same standard size meaning everything slots perfectly in every cabinet, fridge, counter etc. sad that only dishwashers typically might not follow the GN standard but have their own standard for racks

doesn't the cupboard get moldy if you keep putting wet dishes inside?
Its hollow from the bottom, the wooden part at the bottom is just in the front so water drips to the sink area under and has good ventilation.
Ooh that some clever design! I know some people who just put dishes in regular cupboards before they are fully dry and it always feels like a moldy disaster waiting to happen.
Yup, my father in law insists on putting pots and pans back in the cupboard right after a quick/cursory toweling and I’ve had to clean out his cupboards more than once. Fortunately the wood is mostly mold resistant, but I’ve had to clean all of the contents of those cupboards more than once now.
