Why create a coffee corner?
This trend of having a coffee corner or coffee bar started as a decoration trend of separating a space in your home or workplace to prepare a coffee.
However, it has been gaining more and more appreciation from people around the world. Not only because it’s a space that often brings sophistication and extra charm, but also because it’s practical, brings coziness, and is easy to implement.
It’s an environment that brings a lot of practicality when preparing your morning coffee or receiving that last-minute visitor.
Which is yet another advantage of this space that creates more connection and helps you have special moments with your friends and family around the aroma of coffee.
And the best part is that you don’t need to spend a lot to create it.
5 steps to set up the coffee corner of your taste!
Step 1: Find a space
The cool part about making a coffee corner is that it can be versatile, meaning it can be done in any environment.
Preferably a common area where it’s possible to socialize, receive a visitor, etc.
It’s worth checking if there’s a space in your kitchen, living room, dining room, balcony, entryways, among others.
Now if your problem is precisely the lack of space, some solutions found are using suspended corners, which help optimize space, or having custom-made furniture.
Step 2: Decide what furniture will be used?
If you’ve already chosen the location, it’s time to check if you need some furniture for support.
Some people use the kitchen counter itself to do this, but not all homes have a spacious area that can be utilized.
That’s where practical furniture comes in, such as: sideboards, buffets, small tables, multipurpose carts, shelves, and suspended shelves.
Use your creativity! It’s also possible to repurpose a piece of furniture that’s sitting around, like an old dresser that can be transformed to hold your utensils.
Regardless of the furniture you choose, our suggestion is furniture that brings coziness and practicality to your space.
Just don’t forget to consider the size of the chosen location, as well as the circulation of people, to choose something appropriate for the environment.
Step 3: What can’t be missing from your space dedicated to coffee!
Of course, besides the coffee, your corner can’t be missing the items you use to prepare your coffee.
A large part of people who plan this space opt for a good coffee maker, but the true coffee lover will certainly have other essential utensils for their coffee.
So, in addition to the coffee maker, you can also store equipment like a French press, Chemex, Italian coffee maker…
Or even the coffee grinder, scale, dripper, filters, everything you like to use to prepare a good coffee.
There are those who opt for a simpler corner and leave just a thermos, and the containers they’ll use, like cups and utensils.
Step 4: Time to decorate with your style
The decoration is what will give your personal touch to the coffee corner.
At this moment, you should consider the style in which your home or nearest environment is decorated and try to harmonize it with the space you want to create.
There are several styles, such as rustic, modern, contemporary, among others, and from the one you choose, you’ll define the details that will give the final touch!
To decorate, you can invest in items like:
- Cups and utensils;
- Trays, which in addition to keeping the place more organized, help protect the furniture;
- Glass jars or other materials;
- Baskets;
- Capsule holders;
- Decorative frames;
- Signs;
- Flowers and/or plants, which will give more life and charm to the place.
Another important item is lighting, which also contributes to creating a perfect atmosphere. Try to place warmer or softer lights to give that cozy feeling.
There are people who like to give a more personal touch to the coffee bar, placing photos, a travel souvenir, or some other piece of sentimental value.
Whatever you choose, the important thing is to use your creativity to give personality to this corner.
Step 5: Choose a specialty coffee to compose your corner!
