How to store the dining plates in as small space as possible

Try to get cabinets that go all the way up to the ceiling. Also you will need fillers (they are pieces of wood that go between the wall and the cabinets in case the walls aren't perfect) I would put a pull out spice rack there, it save ALOT of space, well if you cook anyway. Also If you have a corner cabinet do a lazy susan or a blind cabinet so you can use all of the "dead" corner space. Then I would get a dishwasher that goes under your sink, that free up at least 24" of cabinet space. Also get a microwave about the range that has a vent within it. Hope that helps you out!
