Coffee Bar Styling
Sure, it might take a few bucks to set up a gorgeous coffee bar at home.
But then you get to save money on expensive coffee drinks while enjoying the cozy vibes at home without having to leave your house on cold mornings.
Bliss.
You can go as elaborate or as simple as you want with your coffee bar design.
If you have a small kitchen, there are ideas for a tiny corner nook, and ideas for an entire coffee pantry or counter if you have a lot of space.
Let’s get to these fun coffee bar styling ideas!

1. Open concept coffee wall
If you have the space, highlight your love of coffee with a coffee accent wall.
A fun coffee bar design idea for large kitchens, this design looks clean and modern, and sticks with a simple color palette of white, grey, and light brown.
Display your espresso cups, coffee mugs, and your Italian stovetop coffee maker out in the open.
Your coffee bar wall will make a beautiful focus area to your kitchen.

2. Small coffeemakers for small spaces
If you have less countertop space in your kitchen, go small with your coffeemaker.
There are beautiful coffee machines that rival the ones in coffeeshops, but not everyone has the space (or budget – holy cow!) for those.
Here is a simple and small coffee maker for small kitchens; it’s sleek and has cord storage so it looks tidy on your small countertop.
3. Add a coffee sign
Adding a sign for your at-home coffee bar gives it extra coffeeshop vibes.
Here are a couple of our favorite coffee signs:
- this metal coffee sign – so pretty and sleek (and surprisingly inexpensive)
- this wooden rustic coffee sign
4. Rustic coffee bar coasters
Adding some stylish coasters elevates your morning brew very inexpensively, and works with any sized kitchen.
These wooden coasters have the perfect sayings on them for your at-home coffee bar.
5. Coffee Bar Styling: Coffee corner for small kitchens
All you really need for an at-home coffee bar is coffee, cream, and sugar (or for some people, just the coffee!).
To make it more of a styled coffee bar, add a small plant to your coffee corner, and a matching coffee beans (or ground coffee), cream and sugar set (like this one) made for small spaces.
6. Coffee Bar Styling Background Touches
Adding a chalkboard to the wall with a cafe menu is a simple way to bring coffeeshop vibes home.
This is a popular wall chalkboard with a birch wood frame, and this one has a black wood frame if that matches your kitchen better.
7. Coffee bar styling for the beans
This is an easy coffee bar design to add to your kitchen.
Get three glass milk jugs, pour some whole beans into each, and add some dried or fake flowers to each coffee vase.
Easy coffee bar nook!
If your milk doesn’t come in glass jars delivered by the milkman (are there still places that have this? It sounds so dreamy)…here are the perfect glass vases for your coffee beans.
This wood and wire basket would match this rustic farmhouse coffee bar style really well.
8. Coffee bar styling ideas: go seasonal
Add seasonal decorations to your coffee corner, coffee bar, or coffee nook in your kitchen.
For Halloween, or the fall season, add decorative pumpkins, leaves, and fall colors to your coffee bar design.
I love these white and gold pumpkins for a different look.
9. Rustic coffee bar accessories
Decorate with a metal tin and wooden coffee scoop to showcase your beans in your home coffee bar.
A bonus is that coffee beans smell great. They also act as a natural deodorizer, and absorb other kitchen scents that might not be as nice.
You want the freshest beans when you make your at-home coffee, so I’d recommend not grinding and brewing these ones – just use them as part of your coffee bar decor.
10. Everything in one place
If you have room in your kitchen, you don’t have to pick and choose which parts of your coffee routine you’ll display…you can put everything out that you need to make your perfect cup of coffee.
Coffee mugs, coffee maker, cookie jar, cinnamon sugar, honey, sugar, stir sticks, etc., put it all out in your coffee nook.
Add a small sign, and your coffee bar is ready to make your perfect brew, stat.

11. Rustic browns coffee bar design
Keep to the color palette of coffee with different tones of rustic browns for your coffee bar design.
Think decorative wooden crates, brown woven baskets to store coffee mugs, wooden shelving, and natural potted plants to accent your coffee nook.
12. Gray and white coffee bar styling
Another coffee bar styling idea is to have a stand-alone storage unit with the top to showcase coffee cups, plates, sugar, etc.
Use the ample storage in the drawers for all the extras that go with making coffee.
Display your favorite pieces on shelves above and beside, and store other pieces inside.
Add contrast to this modern coffee bar with an antique hand coffee grinder (this one is gorgeous).
Here is a budget version of a rustic manual coffee grinder.
And a sleek, modern version if you want to stick to the gray and white color palette for your coffee bar aesthetic.
13. Pink coffee bar design
Here’s a fun example of a coffee bar styling design with pink!
Pink and the brown tones of coffee and coffee beans complement each other very well, and adding a pop of color with the green and yellow macarons, makes it all come together.
14. Another way to store beans
A simple glass jar or large glass mason jar makes a nice display for coffee beans in your coffee bar or coffee nook.
I like this wide-mouth glass container with an airtight seal, to keep those beans fresh.
15. Use pretty ceramics in accenting colors
Instead of those plain wire racks or plastic carousels that most people have to store their coffee pods, store your k-cups in a pretty ceramic container like this, this one, or this.
