Creating a Home Coffee Bar

July 30, 2014 · 5 Comments

Creating a Home Coffee BarThere’s nothing like a perfectly designed and functional bar area for easy entertaining, it creates both a beautiful and functional touch to any home. But what about that daily morning cup of coffee or afternoon tea. Something we use on a daily basis like a coffee machine and mugs, don’t seem to get as much design attention as liquors poured into beautiful crafted bottles.

I’ve cut back from my usual amount of coffee drinking but being European, I enjoy treating myself to a good quality espresso mid-day. Working in New York City you get exposed to many amazing things, including the best tasting coffee I’ve ever had from the most elaborate coffee machine I’ve ever used. The Swiss company Jura, has been making high-end appliances, and have made their mark amongst the field of espresso and coffee machines, including the Impressa One Touch. In one simple click, it uses the finest italian roast to produce an exquisite espresso with perfect foam, a latte macchiato, and any other coffee creation imaginable. It’s just like having an authentic brew in a beautiful al fresco Italian cafe. Which is why this amazing machine inspired me to share some tips and ideas to create your own at home coffee bar worthy of any European cafe.

Creating Home Coffee BarIf you’re fortunate enough to have extra space in your kitchen, create a custom space within your cabinets with shelves and drawers dedicated to your mini coffee bar. This one looks just as beautiful as any coffee shop, and is a treat in any home. Creating Home Coffee BarJust like a liquor bar, a cart with wheels can be moved around anywhere in the kitchen or dining space, making it great for any small space. Creating a Home BarCreating a Home Coffee BarMake your coffee area more appealing to look at, with art and a cohesive color palette. I love the neutral yet rustic look of a grey cabinet, or white selves simply decorated {top image via, bottom image source unknown} Creating Home Coffee BarI will forever love the look of a French inspired beach cottage, as in this space which uses a vintage desk for a small coffee station. At-Home Coffee BarPlace your coffee machine atop a beautiful tray, like this handmade marble one Creating Home Coffee BarBlack and White Coffee BarI love glass containers and rustic boxes, use different shapes and sizes to keep coffee capsules, shortbread cookies, spoons and other coffee must haves {top image via, bottom image via}

Some Coffee Bar Essentials:

Coffee Brewing Equipment: whether it be high-tech, a capsule type machine or a French press

Mugs, espresso cups, saucers, and spoons

Coffee Bean Grinder

Coffee Bean and Tea Selection

Carafes and Teapots

Containers

Flavorings: sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, liquid coffee syrups, rock candy stirrers

Dessert Liquors: Baileys, Sambuca, Kahlua, Portuguese Port Wine

        Haha! My sister-in-law’s dad always says “This isn’t an either-or world.” It doesn’t usually occur to me to think like that. 🙂

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”
……
This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
