September 15, 2023 at 4:14 PM PST

As more people embrace the work-from-home lifestyle, the need for functional yet aesthetically pleasing home spaces has become increasingly popular. One home feature, in particular, is the coffee station—a dedicated nook for your daily java ritual. A coffee station enhances your morning routine and your home’s overall look. Keep reading if you’re looking for design tips to create an upscale coffee station in your home.

Pick the perfect location.

Your coffee station should be conveniently located near, yet separate from the primary kitchen work areas. Opt for an underutilized corner or section of your kitchen counter away from the main cooking and meal prep area. If you have limited counter space, a rolling cart is an excellent option for a mobile coffee station that can be tucked away when it’s not in use.

Invest in quality appliances.

The heart of any coffee station is the coffee machine. Whether you prefer a sleek espresso machine, a classic French press, or a convenient Keurig, select a high-quality coffee maker that complements your interior design. Elevate your coffee station game by adding a premium grinder and milk frother.

Utilize storage solutions.

Store coffee beans, grounds, and tea selections in stylish, airtight containers. Glass or ceramic canisters help preserve coffee’s freshness while adding visual appeal. Under-counter cabinets or open shelving can store items like coffee filters, sweeteners, and creamers. Use trays or wooden boards to group similar items together, making your coffee station as user-friendly as possible.

Add personal touches.

Design your coffee station with items that bring you joy and are a reflection of your personal style. Personal touches can make your at-home coffee routine more enjoyable, whether it’s a favorite coffee mug, unique spoons, or a piece of art. A small chalkboard with an inspirational quote can set a positive tone for your day.

Remember small details matter.

Small details can take your coffee station from average to exceptional. Add a high-quality kettle with temperature control for tea lovers, beautiful cups and saucers that elevate the drinking experience, and a small sink or miniature fridge for creamers and milk.

Add convenient features.

Consider adding electrical outlets for your appliances, hooks for hanging cups, or a small trash can for used pods and tea bags. These small features make your coffee station more convenient for everyday use.
