You know what’s better than having a dedicated coffee station in your home? Having a coffee AND wine bar that serves both your morning caffeine fix and your evening unwinding needs.
Trust me, I learned this the hard way after setting up separate stations and realizing I basically created a traffic jam in my kitchen every time guests came over.
Whether you’re working with a sprawling kitchen or a tiny studio apartment, there’s a coffee and wine bar setup that’ll make you wonder how you ever lived without it.
And here’s the kicker – you don’t need to be a design expert or drop thousands of dollars to create something that looks straight out of a Pinterest board.
Rustic Farmhouse Coffee and Wine Bar
Let’s kick things off with the style that makes everyone feel instantly at home. The rustic farmhouse coffee and wine bar combines that cozy, lived-in charm with serious functionality. Picture this: weathered wood shelving, mason jar storage, and that perfect imperfect aesthetic that somehow makes everything look intentional.
I set up one of these beauties in my friend’s kitchen last year, and the transformation was ridiculous. We started with a simple wooden console table from a thrift store (score!), added some floating shelves above it, and boom – instant farmhouse vibes. The best part? You can mix metals without anyone batting an eye because farmhouse style embraces that collected-over-time look.
Key Elements to Nail the Look:
- Distressed or reclaimed wood surfaces
- Open shelving with wrought iron brackets
- Wire baskets for storage
- Vintage-inspired coffee grinder as decor
- Chalkboard labels for wine bottles
- Edison bulb lighting
Want to know what really sells this style? Layer in some greenery. A few potted herbs or trailing ivy instantly softens all that wood and metal. Plus, fresh basil for your evening cocktails? Yes, please.
Minimalist Modern Coffee and Wine Bar
Now, if clutter makes your eye twitch (guilty as charged), the minimalist modern approach will be your jam. This style screams “I have my life together” even when you absolutely don’t. The secret lies in clean lines, hidden storage, and a color palette that sticks to neutrals like they’re going out of style.
I remember walking into a friend’s apartment and seeing their minimalist bar setup – it was so sleek I didn’t even realize it was a bar until they opened it. Everything tucked away perfectly, with just a sleek espresso machine and two wine glasses on display. Does it spark joy? Marie Kondo would be proud.
Making Minimalism Work:
The trick with minimalist design isn’t just buying less stuff (though that helps). You need to invest in quality pieces that multitask. Think about:
- A single-color scheme (black, white, or gray typically)
- Built-in storage solutions that hide the chaos
- One statement piece (like a copper espresso machine)
- Geometric shapes and clean edges
- Absolutely zero clutter on surfaces
Compact Apartment Coffee and Wine Corner
Living in 500 square feet doesn’t mean you can’t have nice things. I spent three years in a studio apartment, and let me tell you, every square inch counts when you’re trying to create a functional bar area. The key? Think vertical and get creative with corners.
My game-changer was a corner shelf unit that went from floor to ceiling. The bottom held my wine rack, middle shelves stored mugs and glasses, and the top displayed my pour-over setup. Did it take some Tetris-level organization skills? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Every single morning and evening.
Space-Saving Solutions That Actually Work:
- Wall-mounted wine racks (they double as art!)
- Magnetic strips for metal coffee accessories
- Nesting tables that tuck away when not needed
- Over-the-cabinet door organizers
- Fold-down bar tables
- Rolling carts that slide between appliances
FYI, those rolling carts from IKEA? Total lifesavers. You can wheel your entire setup out when entertaining and tuck it away when you need the space.

Outdoor Patio Coffee and Wine Bar
Why should indoor spaces have all the fun? An outdoor coffee and wine bar transforms your patio into the ultimate entertaining zone. Picture yourself sipping espresso while watching the sunrise or hosting wine nights under string lights. Weather-resistant materials are your best friend here.
Last summer, I helped my neighbor create an outdoor bar using a repurposed potting bench. We sealed the wood, added some weatherproof storage boxes underneath, and installed hooks for hanging wine glasses. The whole setup cost less than $200, and now their backyard is the go-to hangout spot.
Weatherproofing Your Outdoor Setup:
You’ll want materials that can handle whatever Mother Nature throws at them:
- Teak or cedar wood (naturally weather-resistant)
- Stainless steel accessories
- Covered storage for coffee beans and wine
- Outdoor-rated mini fridges
- Solar-powered LED lighting
- Waterproof cushions for bar stools
Vintage Chic Coffee and Wine Nook
Ever walk into an antique shop and want to live there? That’s the vibe we’re going for with a vintage chic setup. This style lets you mix different eras without looking like a time traveler’s garage sale. Think Art Deco bar cart meets mid-century coffee pot meets Victorian wine glasses.
The beauty of vintage style? Nothing needs to match perfectly. In fact, it looks better when it doesn’t. I scored an incredible brass bar cart at an estate sale for $30, paired it with my grandmother’s crystal decanters, and suddenly my corner looked like something from a fancy hotel lobby.
Hunting for Vintage Treasures:
- Estate sales and auctions (best prices, honestly)
- Antique malls for one-stop shopping
- Facebook Marketplace for local finds
- Etched glassware and crystal decanters
- Brass or copper accessories
- Vintage coffee advertising as wall art
Industrial Loft Coffee and Wine Bar
Industrial style brings that cool, urban edge that makes you feel like you live in a converted warehouse (even if you’re in suburbia). Exposed pipes, raw wood, metal fixtures – it’s basically the bad boy of interior design, and I’m here for it.
My brother transformed his basement bar area with this style using copper pipes as shelving and reclaimed scaffold boards as the bar top. The whole thing looked like it belonged in a trendy downtown café. The best part? Industrial materials are surprisingly affordable when you know where to look.
Industrial Elements to Include:
- Pipe shelving systems (DIY-friendly!)
- Concrete or metal bar tops
- Wire cage pendant lights
- Metal bar stools with wood seats
- Exposed brick or faux brick panels
- Dark wood and black metal combinations
Want to soften the look slightly? Add some warm Edison bulbs and maybe a leather element or two. It keeps the edge while making it feel less like a factory floor.

Elegant Marble Coffee and Wine Station
Sometimes you want to feel fancy, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. A marble coffee and wine station says “I appreciate the finer things” without screaming it from the rooftops. The natural veining in marble means every piece is unique, which automatically makes your setup one-of-a-kind.
Fair warning: real marble requires some maintenance. I learned this after staining mine with red wine (oops). But honestly? The elegance factor makes it worth the extra care. If you’re not ready for that commitment, marble-look quartz or laminate can give you the aesthetic without the anxiety.
Creating Elegant Vibes:
- Marble or marble-look surfaces (obviously)
- Gold or rose gold hardware
- Crystal wine glasses and decanters
- Mirrored backsplashes
- Velvet bar stool cushions
- Fresh flowers always
Coastal Inspired Coffee and Wine Bar
Bring those beach vacation vibes home with a coastal-inspired setup. This style makes you feel like you’re at a seaside café, even if the nearest ocean is hundreds of miles away. Light, airy, and refreshing – it’s basically the design equivalent of a sea breeze.
I helped my aunt create one of these in her Florida condo, and the transformation was incredible. We used a whitewashed wood console, added some rope details, and incorporated blues and sandy neutrals throughout. Now every morning coffee feels like a mini vacation.
Coastal Elements That Work:
- Whitewashed or light wood furniture
- Navy blue and white color scheme
- Rope or nautical hardware
- Glass containers for coffee and wine storage
- Seashell or coral decorative elements
- Natural fiber baskets
Scandinavian Style Coffee and Wine Setup
Scandinavian design teaches us that functional can be beautiful and cozy doesn’t require clutter. This style combines minimalism with warmth through a concept the Danes call “hygge” – basically, creating a cozy, content atmosphere. 🙂
My Scandi-inspired setup focuses on light woods, white surfaces, and just enough texture to keep things interesting. The result? A space that feels calm and organized without being cold or sterile. Plus, everything has its place, which makes my Type-A personality incredibly happy.
Achieving Scandi Simplicity:
- Light wood tones (think birch or pine)
- White or light gray base colors
- Cozy textiles like wool or linen
- Simple, functional storage solutions
- Minimal decorative elements
- Plenty of natural light

Boho Cozy Coffee and Wine Corner
Bohemian style throws the rule book out the window and says “mix whatever makes you happy.” It’s the design equivalent of that friend who somehow pulls off wearing seven patterns at once. Layers, textures, and unexpected combinations create a space that feels collected and personal.
My boho corner started accidentally when I couldn’t decide between styles. Now it’s got macramé plant hangers, a Moroccan-inspired bar cart, vintage Turkish coffee pot, and somehow it all works together. The secret? Stick to a cohesive color palette even when mixing patterns.
Boho Elements to Layer:
- Macramé or woven wall hangings
- Rattan or wicker furniture
- Colorful patterned textiles
- Hanging plants everywhere
- Vintage brass or copper accents
- Eclectic glassware collection
Glass Cabinet Coffee and Wine Display
Want to show off your collection while keeping dust at bay? Glass cabinet displays turn your coffee and wine supplies into functional art pieces. It’s like having your own personal coffee shop and wine boutique in one gorgeous package.
I invested in a glass-front cabinet last year, and game-changer doesn’t even begin to cover it. My wine glasses sparkle behind the glass, my coffee equipment looks like a curated collection, and best of all? Everything stays clean and organized without daily dusting.
Making Glass Cabinets Work:
- LED strip lighting inside (trust me on this)
- Organized by color or height for visual appeal
- Mix functional items with decorative pieces
- Glass shelves for maximum light flow
- Mirrored back panels to enhance display
Wall-Mounted Coffee and Wine Bar
No floor space? No problem. Wall-mounted bars are having a serious moment, and for good reason. They maximize vertical space while keeping your floor clear for actual living. Plus, there’s something undeniably cool about a bar that folds away when not in use.
My friend installed one in her tiny apartment, and it’s genius. The bar surface folds down when she needs it, folds up flat against the wall when she doesn’t. Above it, floating shelves hold everything from wine bottles to coffee beans. Small space, big impact.
Wall-Mounted Must-Haves:
- Fold-down bar table or shelf
- Floating shelves at varying heights
- Wall-mounted wine rack
- Pegboard for hanging mugs
- Magnetic knife strip for bar tools
- Under-shelf lighting
Hidden Cabinet Coffee and Wine Nook
Sometimes the best bar is the one nobody sees coming. Hidden cabinet bars are like design magic tricks – boring cabinet on the outside, party central on the inside. They’re perfect for keeping things tidy or if you prefer your drinking habits to be less… advertised.
I converted an old armoire into a hidden bar, and guests lose their minds every time I open it. The doors swing open to reveal a complete coffee station up top, wine storage below, and even a small prep surface that pulls out. IMO, it’s the ultimate conversation starter.
Creating Your Hidden Haven:
- Armoires or large cabinets work perfectly
- Interior lighting activated by door opening
- Pull-out surfaces for prep work
- Dedicated electrical outlets inside
- Organized zones for coffee and wine
- Lock option for households with kids
Reclaimed Wood Coffee and Wine Bar
Reclaimed wood brings character and sustainability to your space while telling a story. Every scratch, nail hole, and weathered patch adds to the narrative. Plus, you get major eco-friendly points for giving old wood new life.
Building my reclaimed wood bar was a weekend project that turned into a labor of love. We used old barn wood for the top, industrial pipes for the frame, and the result looks like it’s been there forever. Each piece of wood has its own personality, which means your bar will be truly unique.
Working with Reclaimed Materials:
- Source from demolition sites or architectural salvage yards
- Sand lightly but keep the character marks
- Seal properly to prevent splinters
- Mix wood tones for visual interest
- Combine with modern elements for contrast
- Include the wood’s story in your decor
Open Shelf Coffee and Wine Station
Open shelving puts everything on display and forces you to keep things organized (or embrace beautiful chaos – your choice). This style works especially well if you have gorgeous glassware or coffee equipment that deserves to be seen.
My open shelf setup started as a temporary solution but became permanent because I loved how it looked. Everything accessible, everything visible, and surprisingly, it motivated me to keep things tidy. Who knew that displaying your wine collection would make you want to organize it by region? :/
Making Open Shelves Shine:
- Consistent spacing between shelves
- Group items by function or color
- Mix practical and decorative elements
- Use baskets for less attractive items
- Install proper brackets for weight support
- Add under-shelf hooks for mugs
