Coffee Station Styling Ideas and Inspiration

And suddenly, it’s week 3! Eek! In case you’re just tuning in, I am participating in the One Room Challenge hosted by the blog Calling It Home. During this 6 week challenge, I am creating a coffee station in our dining room. Let’s start with a little bit of progress and then I’m going to show you some of the most amazing ideas for styling a coffee station ev-er! Ready?

Last week I shared some of the buffet tables I was looking at… and then I told you how I found this amazing website that shares free furniture plans… and how I found this gorgeous buffet table… and how my husband said he’d actually make it for me… Well, here’s the buffet table in progress…

Coffee Station Styling

… and last night, stain was applied to the top…

Can you even believe it? I have to give my hubby a standing ovation because, seriously, I told him I’d do the coffee station and he wouldn’t have to lift a finger… Ahem. I guess I lied found an amazing buffet table that I couldn’t make myself. I think we have the paint picked out, but I haven’t actually bought it yet, so feel free to weigh in with your thoughts…

Coffee Station Styling

So, we’ve got the buffet table underway, which is the biggest project for sure. With the paint chosen (almost), I started thinking about how to actually style the table. This thing is massive. Seriously. The top is 8 feet long. Eight. Feet. So, where do I go for inspiration? Hello Pinterest and Instagram! Check out these amazing spaces!

How can you not love this set-up for Halloween? Definitely think that Holiday styling is a necessity.

I love, love, love the wire drawers holding all the k-cups. And can I just say RAE DUNN? I love all those mugs and the sugar and creamer holders… as matter a fact, I just bought this one (not Rae Dunn, but close)… and these (actually Rae Dunn 🙂 )

Again, with the Rae Dunn items! I have looked tirelessly for that coffee canister, and I cannot find it anywhere. If you happen to find it, let me know 🙂 Love all the wooden frames with coffee quotes!

This space was featured in my Favorite One Room Challenge Rooms: Spring 2016. Even though I’m not installing shiplap, I love it! And I love the wreath and I love the wooden framed sign and I love the little wooden boxes in the wire crate. Seriously? What’s not to love?

While this coffee station is a lot smaller than ours will be, I am loving the fabric-lined wire bins. And, I think I actually have those smaller bins from the Target Hot Spot. Woot!

How cute is that mug holder? I need that, right? I also love the addition of the hand towels and a little bit of greenery to brighten the space.

      That is definitely the vibe I’m going for. I want a cozy space where friends and family feel they can just sit down, with their cup of coffee, and enjoy some conversation.

      Hey Jen- I popped over to see your laundry room, and for some reason I always struggle with the Disqus comments (user error, I’m sure). Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE the flooring you chose for the laundry room. Looks ah-mazing!

    I love the new buffet your husband built and all the accessories! I used naval on a potting bench with a stained top. I love it and would use it again but it does look purplish blue in the daylight. and not near as dark as I expected but I have it outside so that makes a difference.

      I love that naval color. We plan to use the paint, not only on the buffet, but also on our island and table legs. I walked around to each space in different light, and unfortunately the naval was just too blue. I would definitely consider it somewhere else in our home though. It’s a gorgeous color.

    That buffet is amazing!! The stain for the top is beautiful; I think it would pair nicely with Naval. Can’t wait to see what you chose 🙂 I love your styling inspiration too – you’re making me want a coffee bar to style!

      Thanks Emily! I always get scared choosing paint and stains. I’ll have a vision in my head, but until you actual see it on the project, you just never know. This definitely turned out the way I had hoped. I’m pretty excited to get the buffet finished so we can actual work on putting the space together.

      You are awesome to find that. Not sure I can justify $63 for the canister and another $22 for shipping, but it sure is cute 🙂 Thanks for sharing the link!

        I also happened to spy some Rae Dunn mugs at my local HomeGoods/Marshalls 2 or 3 days ago. No coffee caisters, but who knows? You might get lucky . . . .

    I used Naval in my son’s bedroom last spring for the ORC. Love it! Can’t wait to see how your buffet turns out. Looking good!

      Thanks Amy! Sounds like Naval is a pretty popular color. We plan on doing our island and table legs in the same color as the buffet, so I took all the samples to each spot and tested them out in different lighting. Unfortunately the Naval was just a little too blue for the space, but I absolutely LOVE it and I’m keeping it in mind for other spaces in our house.

    We used Naval in our closet and love it! At least in our lighting, it’s a true deep blue without any crazy undertones. So many navys seem to lean purple, which is good or bad depending on what you are going for!

      Naval must be a pretty popular color as so many people have commented on using it. I really love it, but in our space it was just a little too blue. Definitely keeping it in mind for another spot in the house though 🙂

      I am so grateful that my husband was willing to take on the project. I always think there’s a little extra love in a space when you made it yourself vs. buying it at the store. Excited to it all to come together.

      I am SO grateful that my husband took on this project, especially being that I told him he wouldn’t have to do anything in this space… oops.

      … and those baskets would be so perfect in a laundry room.
