How to create a coffee nook in your kitchen

Coffee is not just a drink. It is also about culture and rituals. Creating a coffee nook as part of your kitchen refurbishment in Guildford provides you with a dedicated place to enjoy the calm and quiet, while brewing more conveniently.

What is a coffee nook?

Every place and time has its own coffee culture. Today, some people like to go out to drink coffee and meet friends in cafés designed just for that purpose.

If you are serious about coffee and your favourite place to drink it is at home, then it makes life much easier to have all the necessary equipment collected in one location, generally with some combination of cabinet, worktop, cupboard, shelves and drawers. Designing a coffee nook can be part of your kitchen refurbishment Guildford.

What do you need?

You start with the cabinet, which can be anything from homey and traditional to sleek and modern depending on your taste and the general style of your kitchen. There are many choices when it comes to colours and materials.

Then you decide the layout of the units based on the available space. The base units must be able to support the worktop and top cupboard. Remember, you need room for your beans and mugs as well as the machine itself. You may want a fridge close to hand too, so you have access to milk.

Discuss your exact requirements with the provider of your kitchen refurbishment Guildford and they can inform you of the products and services available that may suit your needs. This may include plumbing and wiring for taps and lights.

Then you can think about finishing touches, such as skirtings and cornices for the cabinets and cupboards to make them look more stylish and complete. Painting, handle design and ornamental elements are all ways to add increased personalisation and character.

Once you have your coffee nook, you can begin every morning in your special place, following the easy and convenient rituals of coffee-making as you savour every part of the preparation and drinking process.
