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.
Coffee Bar Cart
Lacking counter space? No problem. This hip bar cart functions as a small-space coffee station with room for your favorite coffee ingredients and a bottom shelf to hold extra coffee beans, tea and mugs.
Practical and Pretty Coffee Station
Not every coffee station has to be super fancy. Sometimes keeping it simple is best. Using a multi-tiered plate stand for food or coffee-related items can dress up any coffee nook.
Coffee Bar in Home Office
This coffee bar, with a clever pegboard for coffee mugs and shelves, accents a home office that is sure to inspire creativity.

A semi-automatic espresso machine tucked into a corner of the kitchen makes it easy to create frothy coffeehouse-style drinks without having to leave the comfort of your home. An antique metal-enamel tray next to the coffee maker holds sugar, flavorings and mugs. The tray gives everything a place without making the counter look cluttered.
