1. The Concept
A good coffee station is a great idea even for small spaces. It can be the easiest way to make your space feel more personal and welcoming.
There are many ways to create your own coffee station, but here are some of the best ideas to get you started.
The first step is to take some time to study the layout of your kitchen. It doesn’t matter how much space you have.
If you are determined to have a coffee bar, even a coffee cart, counter space, or a table and some chairs will do.
However, for now, let’s see what you can do with some extra space that perhaps is already available.
Check and make sure that you have enough storage space for all the supplies needed. Make proper use of available cabinet space. If you have space, you could build more shelves.
More space can be created by installing wall hooks for mugs and cups.
As you scan around the kitchen, remove items that don’t really belong there and put everything back in its place. Free up some cabinets as you will need the space.
2. The Coffee Bar Design
Having taken a look at your kitchen, the available space, and with all the supplies ready, it is easier to locate a good position for the station. The best positions are usually next to the window but within reach of kitchen cabinets.
If you want an easy project, consider a basic modern coffee house. It is uncomplicated because you will keep as much of your original kitchen design as possible.
This means you might just have to make use of the existing cabinets, countertops, and utensils.
The style of this coffee station is simple. The countertop should be the number one choice for the station’s location. Another option is using a corner of the kitchen that is not much frequented.
Kitchen Coffee Bar Accessories
Here are a few coffee bar accessories that will add a personal touch to your beautiful coffee bar.
- Pick a coffee organizer you can place on the countertop. The one below is similar to the one I got for my DIY kitchen coffee bar. It fits all the Nespresso coffee pods nicely, and it looks really cute.

- The one below is perfect if you love the rustic style and need something small but spacious enough to keep all your coffee items perfectly organized. A great space saver!
- If you don’t have enough kitchen counter space, you could use a kitchen cabinet, trolley, or rack where you can place all your coffee bar supplies.
3. Creating a Theme
Home coffee bars look more appealing when they have a theme. A modern coffee house cafe-style theme with a touch of vintage spruce will look great.
You can decide to go retro-vintage, elegant-modern, or just a simple rustic look-country style. Mix styles to suit your taste.
- For instance, for a modern theme with a touch of retro-vintage, you could go for a bistro seating style with the chairs painted in cream, brown, or tan shades. Next, shop around for coffee-themed mats, wall art, and vintage serving dishes. A vintage coffee grinder will also do wonders.
- You could also display some cakes or cupcakes on a decorative cake stand and cookies in clear glass jars similar to the one below.

- Make a difference on the wall by painting a portion of the nearby wall with chalkboard paint, and have some fun writing daily coffee quotes below the menu of the day’s special treat.
- A wooden sign with a quote or saying that you love will make a great addition.
4. Supplies
This step involves making a list of all the things you will need to bring to the coffee station. In many cases, you will find out that you have almost everything you need. But if you don’t, check the choices below.
Here is a list of coffee accessories that will apply to most people:
- Coffee makers
How would you like your coffee in the morning? Coffee makers take center stage on your kitchen bar and should be allocated a special place on your countertop.
