5 Steps to Create A Cosy Coffee Nook In Your Home

Enjoying a morning coffee can really set the tone for the rest of the day. If you’re someone who loves to enjoy a warm cuppa in the comfort of your home, as opposed to grabbing one on the move, then why not have a dedicated space to enjoy the morning ritual?

Inspired by one of the latest Scandinavian interior trends, Kaffeepause, we’re looking at how you can curate an idyllic spot for that morning moment of self-indulgence. If this sounds like your idea of a dream, then this blog post is for you. Keep reading for our top tips.

Find the perfect spot.

Maximise an awkward alcove or unoccupied corner in your home and transform it into your own retreat. Try and find a spot with good natural lighting. If there's a window available for this space, it means you can enjoy gazing out the window with your coffee in hand. Identify if there’s room to integrate shelving or storage where you can keep your favourite books to read. If you work-from-home and plan to use this space to work, then ensure it’s close to a power source to save messy extension cables spreading across your room.

Choose the right colour palette.

When it comes to decorating, you can create a Kaffepause-inspired space by looking at colours which mirror the natural landscapes of Norway. Think soft neutrals like cream and beige paired with earthy tones like terracotta, deep browns and forest greens. Using environmentally connective colours blend the nook from the outside to indoors which promotes a welcoming and calming space.  

Have an on-display coffee station.

If you’ve invested money into a top of the range coffee machine, then this is your perfect opportunity to show it off.  Glass cabinets are a great way to display the coffee station without feeling too cluttered in your kitchen. Get creative by adding hooks or floating shelving to your kitchen walls and choose a few aesthetic mugs to put on display. Keep your pods, sugar and any other coffee supplies in scandi-style storage jars to tap into that Kaffeepause trend.

If you don’t have the luxury of a dedicated space in your kitchen for a coffee station, alternatively you can invest in a rolling cart. A three-tiered storage trolley can be a perfect way to display your mugs, coffee supplies and any cutlery needed. What’s better than a coffee cart on the move?

Be selective with your furniture.

Comfort is key when it comes to creating a tranquil spot. If you’re looking to create a cosy area for one then sink into an armchair in a similar style to our Model 06 which welcomes you to stay for a while and relax. Modular seating like our Model 03 is ideal to accommodate larger groups whilst still promoting a calm and comfortable space. Alternatively you might have the room to introduce a banquette style seating for a few guests. Then add a bistro-style table to bring to life that cafe ambiance. 

Don’t be afraid to get experimental with textures. Achieve a soothing vibe by using materials such as boucle and soft linen combined with a wood surface table to seamlessly bring the space together. This is a great opportunity to tap into the 2024 trend; The Art of Upcycling Furniture and Accessories. Breathe new life into any old pieces of furniture, and give them a fresh look by repainting, reupholstering or refinishing and incorporating them into your coffee alcove.

Get accessorizing. 

Create a nook that feels completely like you by putting your favourite decor on display. Incorporate accessories such as wall art, candles, quirky mugs and plants to create a corner full of character. Why not take it a step further by attending your own pottery class so all your crockery is sentimental and personal to you. Be selective with your lighting, an ambient glow that’s not too overpowering keeps the space feeling relaxed and inviting.   

 Life is about enjoying the small things. If your morning coffee is the highlight of your day, then this trend gives you an opportunity to maximise on the sentiment and dedicate some you-time.
