With smaller cabinets I would actually recommend getting smaller sized dishes as they will fit smaller cabinets easier, will be easier to hand wash if you need one cleaned right away, and have the overall benefit of discouraging large amounts of food. Then you only need about double the number of people for breakage or being dirty.
