I’m transforming a messy, cluttered corner of our dining room into a high-end, built-in coffee and drink station using an epic IKEA hack with the HAVSTA cabinets. This project combines style, function, and that cozy coffee shop vibe, perfect for our family (and especially for my kids, who love whipping up Starbucks-style drinks at home)!
Watch as I take you through every step of the process, from planning on Pinterest to designing a mockup, choosing the perfect cabinets, and even adding some unique custom touches like a wood feature wall, marble backsplash, and a retro mini fridge! I’m also sharing some of my favorite tips for creating a luxury look on a budget, adding crown molding, stained pine shelves, and brass accents to pull it all together. This DIY project was so fun (and a bit challenging!), but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!
If you love IKEA hacks, DIY transformations, or just want some inspiration for creating a coffee bar of your own, you’re going to love this video! Grab your favorite coffee, settle in, and join me for this cozy makeover journey! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments what you think of this IKEA coffee bar hack.
