- If you find yourself spending a small fortune every month at the local coffee shop, then it’s time to wake up and smell the, er, coffee, with the resulting realisation that, maybe, what you need is a coffee bar right in your home for your daily fix. Take a look at these homes that have succeeded beautifully in creating coffee counters at home, be it in the kitchen, the living room, the dining room or any other spot around the house.
- Timeless elegance personifies this coffee bar with its royal-blue lacquered surfaces, mirrored cabinet and highly reflective countertop. The mirror framed in ornate gold adds to the luxe appeal of the coffee bar.
- This rustic, farmhouse style coffee bar is a charming spot in which to prepare your cup of coffee. Floating ledges that match the centre table hold kitchen paraphernalia and coffee mugs, while the writing on the wall is clear about what needs to be done here.
- Old-style melds nicely with industrial here; a Victorian bureau is converted into a coffee counter, while an industrial metal basket holds all necessary items required in the brewing of coffee. Classic grey-and-white cabinetry creates a perfect balance between bright and subdued.
- An eclectic collection of food-related menus, a circus posters and a butcher receipt hang in this coffee corner. The cabinet in distressed finish adds a nice touch to the whole vintage vibe.
- This little alcove enclosed within distressed doors is a far cry from a coffee bar in a regular cabinet. The vintage doors are strong in character, while the Smeg refrigerator and mosaic floor tiles lend a retro vibe to this coffee corner.
- An ultra-modern kitchen optimises space by turning a floating shelf against a black chalkboard wall into a coffee counter. Sleek drawers provide ample storage, leaving the top free, just enough to hold the machine, cups and a tray.
- Rich stained wood, grey glass subway tile with a glass-and-stone accent strip running through, a quartz countertop and stainless appliances are integrated within a traditional framed inset cabinet to form a compact coffee bar. A sleek coffee machine is paired with a steel tree to hang coffee cups.
- A powder-blue cabinet doubles as a coffee counter and a wine bar. A modern-looking steel-foil backsplash complements the metallic refrigerator in a happy contrast to the farmhouse-style barnyard door.
- A multipurpose cabinet painted in cheery green makes for an eye-catching coffee bar amidst beige walls and richly-stained hardwood floors. The shiplap backsplash in light green gives depth to the coffee counter.
- Create a true likeness of a coffee shop with a wooden cabinet and a couple of ledges in matching wood, set in a niche against a chalkboard wall with just the kind of scribblings you see at a real coffee bar.
- Small, awkward corners in the kitchen are perfect to turn into coffee bars, as they don’t require much space and can be customised. Here, built-in shelving above and cupboards below provide plenty of room to store provisions, while the oddly shaped counter is just large enough for the machine.
- A coffee bar with a hidden coffee capsule organiser and shelf really makes this kitchen its own. The veined marble counter gives a dash of pattern and texture to an all-white palette.
- Built-in shelving tucked away in the cabinet accommodates the coffee machine and assorted mugs and cups. The tray on which the machine is placed slides out for ease of use.
- A coffee station complete with hot water tap and fully plumbed sink features sleek joinery and handle-less design. Shelving installed with internal lighting creates a lovely ambience and prevents the corner from appearing dark.
- This kitchen pantry cabinet fitted with pocket doors turns the largest shelf space into a breakfast-cum-coffee station. Built-in lighting is a great idea for the deep-set shelves, providing not only a warm glow but also allowing for easy visibility and access.
- A combination wet bar and coffee bar, where the marble countertop accommodates the coffee machine and the bottom drawer is sized for liquor bottles. A faux brick backsplash creates an element of interest, along with a glass-front upper cabinet that includes LED backlighting and is perfect for coffee cups, wine glasses, or decorative glassware.
- The dead space under a staircase is turned into an a.m–p.m. beverage bar. The solid-wood countertop breaks the monotony of a black background that is adorned by an authentic-looking signboard and lit up by farmhouse-style lamps.
- A teal-blue cabinet houses a coffee station and a wet bar. The honeycomb-tile design makes for a striking backsplash, broken by a floating ledge running across it a – handy feature that keeps coffee mugs ready at hand without having to open the cabinets above.
- A New York loft recreates a city coffee bar right beside its open kitchen. Starting with the Cafe signboard to the tiled backsplash against a chalkboard wall to enough counter and cabinet space to accommodate accessories for all kinds of beverages, this is a veritable coffee shop within a home.
- An all-white colour palette that marks this combination wet bar and coffee bar is broken by a warm wood countertop. While the bottom shelf is made for liquor bottles, glass-fronted cabinets store coffee cups and glassware. A tiny sink is handy for a spot of quick washing.
