16 Super Creative Coffee Bar Styling Ideas

If coffee and home decor are your two favorite things, then you need a coffee bar! A small section or corner of your kitchen (or dining room) dedicated to your AM coffee regimen both streamlines your morning and sparks joy. With all your supplies lined up and within easy reach, mornings will run smoother.

Easy access to all your syrups, favorite coffee blends, tea, and mugs will make guests feel like your home is a fancy B&B. Or create fancy Parisian bakery vibes with artwork, florals, and a cloche for keeping croissants or scones handy. Or you could create a new display every season. The possibilities are endless.

If you’re short on counter or cupboard space, not to worry—a coffee cart, console table, or even a repainted dresser will work. Ideas for vertical storage are abundant: brass rods, hooks, floating shelves, or cubbies. 

Antique & Collected

Vintage toile dishes and an antique hutch have this coffee station feeling like a historic B&B. The mismatched dishes and books enhance the loved, collected, and authentic feel.

DIY Coffee Cart

Coffee carts are the new bar carts! Pro tip: a cart is just as appropriate in a dining room or breakfast nook, thus freeing up valuable kitchen space. This DIY industrial cart is a great starting point.

A serene corner used as a pour-over coffee station is a brilliant way to invest in a small amount of space. Use a small cart (this one’s from Ikea), to keep everyday coffee supplies within reach. Use hooks or shelves to create vertical storage and show off statement pottery.

Eclectic & Mismatched

A buffet or console table, or even a dresser, can be a perfect addition to your kitchen. I love how the slightly mismatched pieces in this kitchen play off of each other. Add cubbies to create vertical storage (as well as to display your fancy mug collection.)

This modern farmhouse industrial coffee bar is brimming with great ideas adaptable to any decor genre. Matching minimalist labels for coffee syrups, floating shelves, a hanging coffee tree to display mugs, a cloche to keep scones or biscotti within arm’s reach–I love everything about it.

This creator had the great idea of turning this hutch from Facebook Marketplace into a coffee bar. Although it needed to be sanded and given a protective coat, it works perfectly as a home for an espresso machine.

Do you have a million mugs tucked away in a cupboard where you forget they exist? A DIY mug house is a great way to get your mugs out in the open so you can enjoy them every day. Add some coffee accessories below, and you’re good to go!

Coffee & Donuts Bar

Coffee and donuts are a match made in heaven, so I love the idea of using donut artwork to accent a coffee bar. You could take it in an artsy and elegant direction like this, or do a quirky and cute rendition with a more bright and vibrant donut print.

An array of mismatched mugs in a neutral color palette is almost like a blank slate that will be fun to switch up during the different seasons. Warm lighting, or some candles, will make it feel extra cozy.

Subtle Touches of Pink

This decor style is somewhat reminiscent of an upscale bakery like Magnolia Bakery in NYC. High end, classy, with a subtle retro influence, and the perfect touch of pink.

Cottagecore Coffee Bar

This coffee corner genuinely feels like taking a step into a cottage out in the country. It shows you can use even a simple, rustic wood table for your coffee station. Brass rods are a genius way to display mugs and floral pitchers, but the real star of this show is the beadboard.

Office Chic

You aren’t limited to a home coffee station–why not create one at the office? This mid-century modern office coffee corner contains great ideas for your office (or home office) coffee station. It’s giving vibes of “upscale coffee shop in the big city.”

This is one of my favorite kitchen makeovers! The author’s grandfather made this long whitewashed table, which serves double duty as a dry goods pantry shelf. A cute tray holds all the coffee essentials, and the finishing touch is a pretty vintage painting.
