IMO We'll need to see the rest of the kitchen if we want to make a determination about the cohesiveness of the kitchen with the office. Speaking from personal experience, if one wants to properly deal with clutter closed cabinets are the way to go. If you and I were total neat freaks, open shelving might be an option. Is there any other spot in your home for this office? If you are thinking of selling in the next five years, an office kitchen of this size may need to relocated to a better location in the home. If you are keeping this home for more than five years, do what you want. I like defined areas in the home - kitchen be a kitchen, office be an office, etc., but that's me. If you or a potential buyer has a family, I can't see how on earth they can use a kitchen and be able to concentrate in an office at the same time. Fine for a single person, however.

You need all that closed storage. Just make sure your equipment fits in the spaces, or you’ll be adding more bits again.

Perhaps look into allocating space for all of the extra office stuff by adding open shelves above the current desk you have.
