First, How to Create Your Perfect Coffee Bar
1. Identify the Ideal Location
The first step is to decide where your coffee bar will go. If you’re using countertop space, consider placing a small shelf or narrow table at the end of your kitchen.
Also, you can hang a mug holder near your coffee machine to save space.
If you have room elsewhere, like in your dining room or home office, a small table or cart can serve as the foundation for your coffee bar. Of course, if you enjoy your coffee with milk you may also need a mini fridge for your home office!
Ultimately, the best location is where it’d be the most convenient for you (it could even be a little coffee bar moment on the way into the home office room)!
2. Choose Your Coffee Bar Essentials
Now that you’ve picked a spot, it’s time to make it functional. Depending on your coffee preferences, you can add a Nespresso VertuoPlus for espresso lovers or a Chemex for pour-over aficionados. Don’t forget to include your favorite coffee blends, flavored syrups, and mugs for easy access.
3. Optimizing Storage For Your New Coffee Bar
To maximize storage, consider installing shelves above or below your coffee bar.
You can use these racks (shown below) to hang extra mugs and free up cabinet space. I prefer these ones specifically because they’re NOT the swivel/dangly hooks. I like to just hang my mugs quickly without worrying about it dangling around!
And then finally, make sure to keep your favorite sugars and flavored syrups within arm’s reach for a truly functional coffee bar!
4. Decorate your coffee bar with things you love – plants, flowers, artwork, etc.
Now for the fun part! What better way to start the day than to have your favourite cup of joe in your personalized cozy coffee bar spot!
Use functional items like clear coffee bean canisters, or a cute coffee mug tree as well as a few additional pieces to help your coffee bar not only be more functional but a beautiful statement as well.
Also, this beautiful coffee bar sign would be a great addition to any coffee bar.
The options are endless when it comes to decor items!
Tip* Before you start adding more decor – you can also try taking away any clutter or removing existing decor (sometimes more blank space adds airyness and a balance).
