Hi Friends,
How are you all? I feel so good to be back to blogging after so many years.Was so occupied with issues in family and personal front that I almost forgot how much I used to enjoy blogging. But now that I am back will make sure to continue my blogging journey again with new motivation.
For those who doesn't know me, I am Tamali , a Software Engg from India. Writing is my passion and I love to interact with people and share my knowledge to others. I have many skills but I will disclose those in coming posts which may interest you.
So as I said, I have decided to start afresh. And no other better way to start than starting from our Home first. I was always into Home decor and you may find my older posts in this blog on Home Decor. But that time I used to live in rented apartment in USA and I was a bachelor . So my style priorities were totally different back then.
Cut to 2020 , I am married now and We have our own brand new Apartment in India. And I am totally obsessed with decorating my Home. We decided not to hire a interior decorator like others do, Party because we didn't have much budget and also We wanted our special personal touch in all the nook and corners of our home.
I am going to write a series on Home Decor , I know you will love it because we enjoyed the process the thoroughly and the outcome is stunning. So without further ado, lets straight back to business.
Coffee Bar Corner / Coffee Nook/ Snacks Bar Ideas for Home
Ok, so this was my dream to have a Coffee Corner / bar at our home. I really liked the concept of having a personal space, where friends can come over and have a cup of coffee and snacks.
So to accomplish the dream of a coffee Bar we created a below Blue print -
1) Finalizing the space / corner where we want our coffee bar.
2) Fixed the budget to 12k (This includes a cabinet) as we didn't want anything fixed, We wanted design something which can be changed over time.
3) Look for the decor items, tables etc we already had in our home.
4) Work with Carpenter to execute our Cabinet Design ideas.
5) Layout a design to decorate the space.
6) But necessary items from Amazon.
7) Assemble everything together to create a cozy Coffee Corner.
And this is the final outcome of the Coffee Corner. Looks stunning isn't it.
Lets break up the total Cost we spent -
1) The Below Cabinet , we already had this in our kitchen unused. So we used this as a base Table. - So Total Cost - 0
You can check similar cabinet from here. :
2) The above Crockery Cabinet, we custom made by carpenters which works as both crockery cabinet and Snacks bar.It has light installed inside it. Total Cost - Rs. 10,000 ($142)

3) A Tray for keeping the cups and making coffee. We already had the white tray at home. If you also have trays please reuse them . No need to buy new stuffs. But If you are starting from scratch, I would highly recommend below Trays.
Set of 2 Trays
4) A Kettle to make Hot water for Coffee or Tea. Now if you have a coffee machine, you are good to go. But since we didn't find any Milk coffee machine within our budget in India, We used our kettle to boil water and mix coffee and creamer on top.
Some best quality Kettles available in India are :
And Best Coffee Makers available in India currently :
5) The Areca Palm Tree we bought from Local Nursery . This costs - Rs, 250 ( $5)
Previously we bought similar but small in size palm Tree from Ugaao. You can check it out here :
6) The cup holder. Now the Cup holder is not a must have if you already have a crockery cabinet.
But I wanted people to come and grab a cup to make coffee. So keeping a holder is really helpful.
This costed us : Rs. 350
Similar Cup Holders :
7) A Lamp to lit the place. My husband gifted me this lamp on Valentines Day. It has our pic printed. Looks really cute and overall gives a personal tough to the place.

8) Other Miscellaneous Items like Candles, Spoons, Napkins, Stirrer , Coffee Frothing Tools etc.
Cost < Rs, 1000
