5 Coffee Bar Styling Ideas: 1. Show off your coffee maker
Your coffee maker is the heart of your at-home coffee bar, so it’s essential to show it off. Whether you have a sleek, modern machine, a classic French press, or just a traditional coffee maker (or maybe a couple of choices) make it or them focal point by giving them pride of place on a shelf or countertop. You can even add some greenery or colorful flowers around it to create a natural, relaxed vibe.
2. Get creative with your mug display
Mugs are some of the most fun items to collect, they make me seriously happy. My mug collection is mismatched and makes me smile every morning as I pick out a message or vibe that fits my mood.
Plus, they’re an essential part of any coffee bar. Display them on an open shelf, us mug hooks or use a mug tree to showcase your collection. If you want to add some color and style, playful, cheeky, and humorous mugs are always a hit.
Mix and match colors, styles, sizes, and patterns to add depth and personality to your coffee bar design. Or if you like a really sleek look it’s ok if you want them all to match too.
3. Add some ambiance to your at home coffee bar with lighting
Want your coffee bar aesthetic to really be shown off? There’s nothing like the warm glow of a lamp to create a cozy ambiance at home, so why not do the same for your coffee bar?
Add some under-cabinet lighting or even a special candle or two to give your home café a luxurious touch. Warmer lights create a homey vibe and are better for popping on in early morning when you brew up your first cup of joe.
4. Organize your coffee ingredients
A well-organized space will always look much neater and more inviting. Keep your syrups, sugars, stirrers, and other coffee ingredients within reach with elegant jars or containers.
Keep them stylish with labels that match your home décor. These glass coffee bar jars are perfect for your favorite additions whether that be sugar, cinnamon, or marshmallows. These black coffee bar jars are also super stylish and can fit with any aesthetic you choose for your coffee bar.
5. Choose the perfect complementary furnishings when styling your coffee bar
The whole vibe of a coffee bar or coffee station is that it’s more than just your coffee pot and grounds sitting on the counter. Choose a style that represents you and decorate your designated at home coffee station with that aesthetic.
Add in some farmhouse signs that say “Rise and Shine It’s Coffee Time” or a rooster or hen figurine or windmill picture.
Maybe you want a boho vibe. Then add in a live plant and some macrame hangers. The more coffee supplies showing, the better.
If you like a really clean or modern look consider adding in some green (the on trend kitchen color). You can even add it with peel and stick paper so you can change your vibe whenever you want.
You can just choose a special corner in your kitchen to pile up all the coffee goodies. If coffee in the morning gives you happy vibes like me, this doesn’t feel like clutter. It’s a glorification of your happy place.
Let your at home coffee bar bring you joy, help you wake up on the right foot, and give you the energy to take on the day.
