Lets face it- billions of people loving coffee all over the world isn’t exactly a groundbreaking development. The love off coffee has been real and deep for centuries at this point, and with an ever increasing number of drive through coffee shops sprouting up here and there- it’s safe to say that its going nowhere.
One development that is beginning to gain traction, however, is the number of coffee lovers who are opting to recreate the coffee shop experience from the comfort of their own homes. As we talked about in my recent post: Bringing Cafécore to Your Home, the café aesthetic is set to take the home décor world by storm this year, so if you’re ready for your next home styling project- this could be for you.
Here are some ways to put together a gorgeous station that will have your friends coming over constantly for their fix.
A Stylish Coffee Machine:
As home décor taste levels continue to rise the standard of coffee machines on the market has truly risen to the challenge. From professional grade competitors, to Nordic inspired models, to retro aesthetic ones- there are more choices coming out every other week.
Here’s three of my favourites:
Swan
Nordic
Breville one touch
Coffee Storage Jars
Sure, you can keep your coffee beans in the bag that you bought them in, but if you’ve found your way to this little home décor blog, I can assume that you are someone who enjoys a stylish finishing touch. It’s a good option to go for containers that have a suction fit on the lid, to keep your coffee fresh
Space For Your Cups
For an authentic coffee shop feel, try stacking or handing your coffee cups above the coffee machine. This is also good for easy access, but remember that the more things you have out, the easier it is to look cluttered and messy, so it’s a good idea to opt for matching and similar styled cups for a cool yet cohesive look.
And while we’re on the subject of cups- a truly seasoned coffee connoisseur of will have an option for their espresso as well as their latte, so here are some lovey coffee cup options:
Nice Syrup Dispensers
Sure you can pour from the bottle you bought them in, but your syrups deserve better. There are lots of syrup dispensers and matching labels available to elevate your coffee prep game.
A Fancy Milk Jug
There are milk frothing jugs, and there are milk frothing jugs. This beautiful retro-chic gold option is the latter.
An Artful Touch
In adding the finishing touches to your coffee station, you could add in a touch of coffee shop inspired art, and perhaps a little plant or two for extra style points.
