Did somebody order caffeine and cuteness? ☕️
There are probably plenty of places in your home that are purely functional, but what about an entire spot that’s devoted to “me time?" Where you can breathe in the aroma of a freshly brewed hot drink and perhaps nibble on a treat or two before starting your day. If you’re all about java and are looking to build some self-care moments into your busy routine, then a DIY coffee station is right up your alley.
The good news is that you don’t need tons of space or a huge budget to create the home coffee bar of your dreams. It can be neatly tucked into a corner of your kitchen, placed on a tiered tray, or on top of floating shelves. Or you can opt for a “go big or go home” approach by using built-ins or a piece of storage furniture to make your bar a focal point. There are several DIY kitchen décor ideas as well, including printable labels for your flavored syrups or a tutorial for building an entire set of cabinets from scratch. And then there are countless ways to decorate your coffee bar, whether you’re leaning toward a boho look or can’t get enough of the farmhouse feel. No matter how you’d like to set up your coffee bar, you’re guaranteed to find some inspiration with these 30 ideas! Once you're all set up, try Alex Drummond's coffee recipe or any of your own personal favorite types of coffee. Cheers!
