If you want to add style to your morning cup of coffee, you might consider putting DIY coffee bar ideas to use in your home. Organizing your coffee essentials into a home coffee bar will not only make your coffee enjoyment more convenient, but also give you the opportunity to add a personal touch.

Countertop coffee station

It's common for the coffee maker to live on the counter, but using your spare counter space to create a dedicated coffee bar is a great way to level up your brew. Try clear Mason jars to store supplies like coffee filters, stirrers and sugar. Put everything together on a chic tray for a refined aesthetic.

Repainted dresser station

A bedroom dresser can easily turn into a coffee bar. Choose a bold hue to create contrast, or use your favorite wood stain to integrate your coffee bar into the rest of your decor. You can also add bracketed shelves displaying coffee cups and other accessories while saving space.

A dresser coffee station can go anywhere, but for even more mobility, try a coffee cart on wheels. You can use any traditional bar cart for all the coffee essentials you might not have room for in the kitchen.

Super storage nook for coffee aficionados

Storage is essential to an excellent coffee bar, and finding furniture with enough room can become difficult. One way to solve this conundrum is to set up a storage nook for your coffee supplies. Include a multitude of cubbies, drawers and shelves.

DIY Chalkboard coffee bar

With a bit of chalkboard paint, you can turn practically any surface into a message board or coffee sign straight out of the most stylish farmhouse coffee bars. Try painting an old mirror or surrounding your DIY chalkboard with a fun vintage picture frame.Fresh coffee bar ideas to upgrade your morning brew infographic
