You know, I never use the word cupboard. Never. I wonder why that word fell out of practice around me. Is this an American thing or an Emmie thing? Huh.
Cabinet in the kitchen. Pantry for what's essentially a closet for food. But everything else is just a closet. You might say "linen closet", "hallway closet" and "bedroom closet/my closet".
Ah, chest of drawers. I think I've used that in the past, but mostly it's dresser.
Where I am, in the midwest, it's cupboard. You can call it a kitchen cupboard if you like, but there's really no need -- a cupboard is in the kitchen unless you specify that it's another kind.
I never say cupboard, either. Of course, I also never say pantry. I think of a pantry as a walk-in closet for food, but I don't have one of those, and neither did my parents. In fact, I don't know anyone who does. We just keep our food in the kitchen cabinets.

Though I've had a pantry before in my old apartment, and I know some friends who've had pantries. But they're distinct from cabinets.
