IKEA is renowned for its wide range of storage furniture options that can be easily customized to suit individual needs. The trend of IKEA "hacks" where furniture pieces are transformed into something new is popular among DIY enthusiasts worldwide. While some projects require advanced skills, IKEA also offers solutions for those who prefer simplicity, like creating a home coffee beverage station.

1. HAVSTA

YouTuber Champagne Chaos demonstrates how the IKEA HAVSTA cabinet can be used to create a stunning DIY coffee station. By combining multiple cabinets to form a wall of storage, she achieves a custom-built look at a fraction of the cost of traditional kitchen cabinets. Adding a quartz countertop and stained pole wrap behind the coffee bar elevates the design. For a simpler version, the HAVSTA base cabinet alone can serve as a compact coffee bar with a similar aesthetic.

2. TARVA

Instagram user @mygrandparentschair showcased her budget kitchen remodel by repurposing a six-drawer IKEA TARVA dresser into a stylish built-in coffee bar. With simple modifications like closing the bottom to create a baseboard, painting the dresser, adding a cost-effective countertop, and new hardware, she achieved a customized look that blends seamlessly with her kitchen decor. This $250 solid wood dresser is not only perfect for a morning coffee station but can also be stained to match any home's style.

3. IVAR

For those new to DIY, the simplicity of using IKEA's solid wood IVAR cabinets is perfect for creating a clean, modern sideboard to house your entire coffee setup. Instagrammer @freesiapark painted her IVAR cabinets a calming beige and lined up three along her kitchen wall to serve as a coffee station, happy hour bar, and additional kitchen storage, creating a long sideboard look. If you have limited space, this tutorial to transform a basic IKEA IVAR cabinet into a floating coffee station is ideal.

If DIY is not your strong suit, consider a finished IKEA piece that only requires assembly to kickstart your morning caffeine routine. The HAUGA sideboard is a spacious coffee station option that comes ready to use without any modifications. With two doors, three drawers, and a wood backsplash, this sideboard ensures your coffee pods stay in place. The sideboard version is about 55 inches wide and comes in gray, while smaller and taller options are available in white for tighter spaces.
