Having your dishes organized can maximize space and make it easier to work in your kitchen. This is a guide about organizing dishes.
We live in a manufactured home without much cupboard space. My solution for organizing my dishes is to make them part of the decorations. Our round oak table takes up most of the dining room area so there is no room for a china cabinet.
I hung decorative plate racks on the walls and keep my every day dishes on them. They are part of my decorations. It makes table setting easy as I just reach over and pick my dishes off the wall. My china cups and tea service are on the table. I have the cups on a rack or tower. I am always prepared for company this way.

I recently expanded my kitchen and use vertical racks for storing my dishes. It uses less space, and I don't need to lift my dishes. I just pull out what I need, and dishes are so easy to put away.

Put a dish drainer in the cupboard to store your plates. This keeps them organized and males it easier to get one.

I felt that my dish storage space was not being used effectively, so I purchased some inexpensive wire racks at Ross. They turned out to be about half the height of my current dish shelves, and therefore doubled the space. In these pictures, about half of my dishes are being washed, but when the shelves are full, they are full! I feel that the space is better used, and now I have an upper shelf freed up for other uses.
