How to Decorate Your Kitchen in a Coffee Theme

Lisa Riggs
Coffee lovers know that the day just couldn't begin without one or two steaming hot cups of coffee. Not only does coffee help you to get going in the morning and clear the fog from a night of sleep, it is also a comforting drink that is best when shared with friends. Why not take your love of this very popular drink and use it as the theme to create a cozy and inviting kitchen? Read this article for how you can redecorate your kitchen in a fun and unique coffee theme.

How To Decorate Your Kitchen In A Coffee Theme: Walls. Since the color of coffee evokes feelings of warmth and can vary from very light beige to deep dark brown, opt for a paint color that is warm and inviting. Consider a taupe for your walls with the baseboards and accents painted a dark brown. If you simply can not imagine painting your kitchen walls anything other than traditional white, choose an off white as that will be warmer and less sterile than a bright white. Since kitchens are famous for spills and messes, choose a washable paint that will allow you to easily clean after any kitchen disasters.

How To Decorate Your Kitchen In A Coffee Theme: Appliances. Use your kitchen appliances to your advantage when decorating in a coffee theme. If it is time to replace your mixer, toaster or coffeemaker, purchase appliances in a deep brown or red to display on your kitchen counters. You may be hesitant to choose a bold red for your appliances, but they will look wonderful in your coffee themed kitchen. A few splashes of red here and there in your kitchen will really draw the eye and make the kitchen decor pop.

How To Decorate Your Kitchen In A Coffee Theme: Coffee Mugs As Decor. Install several shelves on the largest wall of your kitchen and arrange your most favorite coffee mugs on them. Visit local thrift and consignment stores to pick up interesting and colorful mugs for a song. Do not worry about whether they match or not as displaying unique, mismatched mugs will give your kitchen an eclectic flair.Bring your coffee mug tree out of retirement and set it up on one of the counters to keep your everyday coffee mugs within reach.

How To Decorate Your Kitchen In A Coffee Theme: Coffee Wall Decor. Stores such as Kohl's, and Boscov's carry a wonderful selection of Coffee themed prints and wall signs. You will find many of these decorations in the colors of brown, black, red and white which will match perfectly with the bit of red you incorporated with the appliances. Visit a craft store for a coffee mug stencil and stencil groupings of coffee mugs over the kitchen table, above the refrigerator and stove. Do not concern yourself with any imperfections in the finished stenciling as that only adds to the personality of your coffee themed kitchen.

How To Decorate Your Kitchen In A Coffee Theme: Miscellaneous Coffee Themed Kitchen Decor. Hang taupe, white or red dishtowels from hooks in your kitchen or over the handle on your oven. Coffee patterned dishtowels are relatively easy to find at discount department stores such as Kmart, Walmart and Target and even at your local dollar store. Place a coffee scented pillar candle on your table to ensure you always have the fresh and comforting scent of coffee wafting in your kitchen. Arrange taupe colored cannisters on your kitchen table around the pillar candle with sugar, sweetener packets, individual coffee packets and flavored spoons to make sharing a cup of coffee with friends a very festive and tasty experience.

Now put that pot of coffee on, because you will surely have all the neighbors wanting to enjoy a cup of coffee with you in your coffee themed kitchen!
