OK, completely gut-feeling and probably wrong ESL version:
That thing in the kitchen for storing food is a: cupboard. You people don't seem to have a good word for it that I know of. (A pantry is a small kitchen.) There should be a word that's something like "foodery", but alas, there isn't that I know of
That thing in the kitchen for storing dishes is a: cupboard. It's a board with cups on it.
That thing in the bedroom for storing clothes is a: closet. Which is all kinds of wrong now that I think about it since the only other thing that's a closet is a water closet, but nevermind.
That thing in the passage for storing sheets/old books/whatever is a: Yes, that too is a cupboard.
That thing in the laundry for storing random laundry junk is a: Guess. It's a friggin' cupboard.
That thing in the living room for displaying pretty crockery is a: Vitrine. Does anyone actually use that word?
no subject
