Would open shelving or a closed cabinet work better for storing dishes in a small kitchen?

I am reorganizing a compact kitchen and want everyday dishes to be easy to reach without making the room feel cluttered. Open shelves would keep things visible and accessible, while a closed cabinet would hide visual mess and reduce dust. Which option has worked better for others, and what tradeoffs should I consider?
