This includes coffee stations that are made from new, repurposed or DIY furniture to those set up in built-in kitchen cabinets. In addition, I am sharing TEN creative ways to display your coffee mugs. Here are some creative ways to set up a coffee bar at home using a variety of furniture.
This is a great idea to create a coffee bar in a breakfast nook or any place that you can take advantage of wall space.
First, simply drill a hole in the back to hide the cord of the coffee maker. Whether you use a cubicle organizer like those from Ikea or an old bookshelf table, bookshelves offer plenty of room to display your mug collections.
In addition, a tiered tray works great to store extra supplies. Sand, paint or stain, add new hardware or remove doors on furniture.
If you are handy with tools, build open shelves above the kitchen counter or even a buffet table. A true Fixer Upper fan will remember this awesome coffee bar with DIY floating shelves and a chalkboard wall… Plus, screw hooks to hang mugs. DIY projects are the best way to customize a piece that fits your space while creating something truly unique to your home. This DIY mug rack or coffee bar cart can be built in an afternoon with a few tools, 1×4 wood pine and metal tubing.
Another Fixer Upper favorite, this built in shelf acts as a coffee bar in an upstairs office at Joanna Gaines’ farmhouse. Either way, I love how these coffee stations are designed to blend right in with the kitchen cabinetry.
However, these spaces stand out with unique features of open shelves and beautiful backsplashes. Perhaps you have an ‘appliance garage,’ or space inside a butlers pantry that you can transform into your home coffee bar. I like to use a large tray to gather items, which makes the space feel less cluttered. In addition, decorative wall shelves are the perfect size to store mugs.
You can find a great selection with hooks, cubbies, or baskets at Hobby Lobby, or any Homegoods type stores like Wayfair. Use baskets or containers to hold extra travel mug lids or K-cups.
