Coffee Station in a Small Space

Coffee drinkers know the value of storing coffee-making essentials together and at-hand. A home coffee station makes the morning routine much easier and can serve as a stylish spot for making coffee drinks for guests or an after-dinner cup of java. We've got coffee station ideas for a variety of spaces, whether you're looking for coffee bar ideas for small spaces or custom butler's pantry bars.

Lisa Robazza designed this coffee bar "to utilize an awkward space under a stair in a small kitchen for a client who entertains often." You can get the same effect by reorganizing a corner of your kitchen (ideally a spot near your sink) so all your coffee-making supplies are together: the machine on the counter; mugs or cups in a cabinet above; and filters, pods or grounds in a drawer underneath.

Color Coordinate With Style

This beverage station includes essentials for a weekend brunch or an after-dinner dessert. Place mugs on a two-tier tray to save counter space. Keep in mind, not all the mugs have to match — as long as they are the same color scheme, your display will look chic and tidy.

Pantry Turned Coffee Station

Wake up with bright wallpaper! A pantry was renovated into this in-home coffee bar, featuring a neutral single-serve coffee maker, woven baskets for storing coffee accessories and pods, and a basket of fruit for a snack on the go. Everything is set against a bright, mustard yellow wallpaper.

Pull-Out Cabinet Keeps It Neat

Your coffee maker doesn't need to camp out on the countertop. Install a slide-out tray in a counter-level cabinet to set up a coffee station that can be hidden away after everyone is sufficiently caffeinated.
