If you want to elevate your morning routine and add character to your space, consider implementing a coffee bar in your kitchen. A coffee bar is a charming spot devoted to giving you a good start to your day every day.

Not only does it make mornings more convenient, but it also serves as a focal point in your kitchen. The best part is that you don’t need tons of room or money to create a home coffee bar.

There are plenty of ways to set one up. They can be simple or elaborate, depending on your needs. No matter how you decide to design your coffee bar, just make sure it’s in an area near an outlet for your coffee maker. Here are a few decor ideas to give you some inspiration!

Floating Shelves

If you’re short on counter space, floating shelves are your friend. Mount them on a blank wall where they can house your mugs and other coffee-related accessories. It’s perfect for small spaces! Additionally, you can layer in cute, coordinating plates, teapots, and houseplants to give it a pop of color.

Coffee Cart

Reuse a bar cart to store your coffee essentials, or craft your own using some plywood and copper pipes. With a coffee cart, you can wheel it around wherever you want and change up the location you keep it in. So, now your coffee bar doesn’t have to be limited to the kitchen!

Console Table

Whether you’re going for a coffee bar with a modern, clean look or a cozy, rustic vibe, a console table will work for your purposes.

Install a hanging mug rack or pegboard above it to hold a collection of spoons, coffee cups, and anything else you might need. If your wall space permits, hang artwork above the bar that’s in theme with your aesthetic.

Vintage Dresser 

Convert a vintage dresser or another old furniture piece like a credenza or sideboard into a coffee station. Use pieces you already have at home or go hunting for something at garage sales or thrift stores.

Either way, it’s pretty affordable and will be easy on your pockets. Once you have acquired the right vintage piece, cover it with a coat of fresh paint if necessary to make it look presentable.

Movable Coffee Bar

For those who find the idea of a coffee bar appealing but don’t have any available space, consider making your coffee station movable. It’s a minimalistic approach that will still help make an ordinary cup of joe more special in the mornings.

Use a marble tray to stack a handful of matching mugs and saucers. Add cream, sugar, and a tin of your favorite coffee grinds. You can keep the tray on your countertop. When you need to make more room for cooking, just lift the tray out of the way.

Pull-Out Coffee Bar

Having a tray you can pull out from the base cabinet will maximize your space. You can place your espresso maker on the countertop above it. The tray is super convenient and can accommodate your cups and silverware.
