DIY Coffee Bar Ideas for Home Kitchens

February 8, 2023DIY Woodworking

These DIY coffee bar ideas include cabinets and floating shelves, building plans, and ideas for transforming furniture into home coffee bars.

I love having a coffee bar in my kitchen at home. Not only is it my favorite part of my kitchen, but it also saves me money on takeout coffee (ahem, Starbucks). I added a DIY Corner Coffee Bar build that is great for everyday use or entertaining and here are ideas for inspiration for a coffee bar in your kitchen as well.

Coffee Bar Ideas for Your Kitchen

I love entertaining in my home, and so often I hear “it feels like I’m at a coffee shop!” when guests make a cappuccino or latte in my kitchen. It’s one of my favorite compliments, especially because this corner was completely bare when we moved in.

My corner coffee bar was a build from scratch. I built the base corner cabinet and added floating shelves and backsplash. But, there are so many fun ideas for coffee bars in your home.

You can build one from scratch, below I’ll link a few custom plans for these, or you can transform old furniture into a coffee cabinet. I hope you find some inspiration here so that you too can have that coffee shop feel without leaving your home.

Coffee Bars with Floating Shelves

I love the look of a cabinet base with floating shelves coffee bar. This is a really fun way to display a coffee mug collection or add some syrups and jars in an aesthetically pleasing style.

Here are 5 tips for styling your shelves! 👇

1️⃣ Balance: vary shapes, sizes, and height to create visual interest

2️⃣ Color Coordination: You can group similar colors together or use gradients of a color palette. An easy way to do this is to stick with either warm or cool tones.

3️⃣ Layering: Place larger items at the back and smaller items in front to create depth and visual intrigue, or small items on top of large. 

4️⃣ Negative Space: Leave some empty space to allow the eye to rest and to highlight the items you’ve chosen to display.

5️⃣ Personal Touches: Incorporate items personal to you such as photos, artwork, or keepsakes to make the shelves feel more personal and reflective of your style and interests.
