What makes having a coffee corner special in your kitchen?

A coffee corner is a special spot in the kitchen or dining area, with everything you need to make coffee, tea or matcha. To create a good base, you'll need:

 

‣ Espresso machine or matcha set

‣ Coffee beans, matcha powder, or your favourite tea

‣ Mugs and glassware

‣ Teaspoons, syrups, and other accessories such as reusable straws for iced coffee

‣ An organiser, such as a cabinet or shelf 

 

With all your coffee essentials in one place, you won’t have to search through different cupboards or drawers. This makes your morning coffee routine more convenient and enjoyable.

How to set up the perfect coffee corner

Planning to renovate your kitchen? A coffee corner is a great addition to include in your design. Even in a small kitchen, there’s always a way to create a dedicated space for your coffee, tea, or matcha routine. 

 

Look at what’s possible in your kitchen or dining area: 

‣ Limited space? 

If you have a small kitchen, make the most of an empty wall by adding wall shelves or wall-mounted racks. This frees up space on the worktop, and you can display decorations on the shelves that bring extra warmth and character into your space. 

 

‣ More space available? 

If you have a larger countertop or a kitchen island, you can use a cabinet or open shelving unit as the base for your coffee corner. The OMAR and EKET storage solutions from our assortment are popular choices for creating a coffee corner. Ideal for keeping all your coffee essentials neatly organised.

How to add more style to your coffee corner 

The important thing when furnishing any space is that everything matches well and enhances each other to create a cohesive look. 

1. Choose a base style and colour first 

‣ Use a wooden look for a warm and natural feel.

‣ Choose white or metal for a modern and clean look.

‣ Go for dark tones to create a more luxury coffee bar feel.

2. Add small decorative accents 

‣ A small plant

‣ A decorative lamp

‣ A tray

Storage jars and tins

Art prints or pictures

Tip: Try not to mix too many styles, patterns, or colours, as this can make the space feel cluttered. It's better to choose one style. Combined with one colour or pattern.

3. Keep your coffee corner organised 

‣ A coffee corner looks best when everything is kept clean and organised.

‣ Loose packaging of coffee beans, matcha, or tea can make your coffee station look messy. Rather, store them in matching jars, tins, or containers.

‣ Having too many mugs and teacups in different styles can make the overall look feel disorganised. Only keep your favourite mugs & cups that matches well together, and store the rest in a cabinet.

‣ A kitchen trolley is also ideal for storing your coffee essentials: it’s flexible to move around and keeps everything within reach.

Ways to upgrade your coffee corner

Have you already started your coffee corner but feel like something is missing or could be improved? Here are a few important tips to keep in mind when designing your coffee corner.

 

‣ Keep a consistent style

Choose one main style and pair it with matching decorations. Because when colours, materials and patterns complement each other, your coffee corner feels cohesive instead of busy.

 

‣ Less is more

Minimalist doesn’t have to mean boring. Only keep your favourite decorations, mugs and most‑used items on display to maintain a calm, cohesive look. 

 

‣ Make smart use of your wall

To make the most of a small kitchen, use your walls to create extra space to store and display your favourite decorations.
