Exactly. Then you simply ask, "Who was it who wanted to design a
kitchen around a cannister set?"
BTW, I gave my wife an expensive cannister set as a gift. Ceramic.
She oohed and aahed, displayed them empty on the counter for maybe 2
months, then stored them in the basement.
She's a professional chef.
BTW, about 12 years later we started to give them to a daughter but
found the "brass" hardware had corroded. Dumped them at Goodwill.
The hardware will collect grease even if it doesn't corrode.
As somebody else said, everything behind doors and flat surfaces makes
for much easy kitchen cleaning.

Same thing goes for the shop. I used to have tools and such hanging on
pegboard. Now, I hung the cheapest HD cabinets over a 16' workbench/RAS
saw and have much more storage with much less dust.
