Fun and Festive Small Space Fall Coffee Bar

By Rebecca St. Clair

You know what I want when the chilly fall weather settles in? Warm and cozy drinks! Making your own DIY Fall Coffee Bar is the perfect way to bring that cozy fall vibe into your home! It is not only beautifully festive but also practical and will be in use all season long!

So let’s stock this with the best the fall season has to offer and make a fun and inviting drink station the whole family will be lining up to use!

Find the Space for a fall coffee bar

No need to carve out a large area in the home. This fun DIY coffee station can fit in a small corner of your kitchen counter or even on a rolling cart that you can tuck into the corner of a living room!

Clean up the area first so you can start with a clean slate! Adding to an already full space will leave things feeling cluttered and uninviting.

Seasonal Fall Flair

Fall is full of vibrant colours. Pick a colour scheme and build your décor around that! For smaller spaces work up instead of out!

Hang a small banner or chalk board signs.
Use a small shelf, hooks, or a mug tree to open up counter space.
Use a tiered serving tray to make better use of limited space.

Depending on where you live there is different foraged and natural material that are gorgeous at this time of year. Where I live we are filled with bright leaves, acorns, pumpkins, squash, corn, and dried flowers. Using these natural and foraged items are a great inexpensive way to decorate.

Tiny decorative pumpkins and vibrantly coloured fall leaves.
Dried Indian corn in a vase is beautiful and will last for years!

Autumnal serving bowl and containers are a perfect double duty purchase for your fall coffee bar! They provide function as well as being decorative!

For a small space try to find things that are double-duty. You get more bang for your buck, especially in smaller spaces.

Fun and festive mugs

This is one of my favourite swap outs during the festive season! Changing everyday mugs for fall themed mugs is so much fun!

Make sure to leave them on display in your fall coffee bar to add more of that fall aesthetic!

Seasonal flavour

What would a fall coffee bar be without pumpkin spice? Make sure to stock all the supplies you will need to make all of the warm drinks!

There are coffee beans with a bar of chocolate, star anise, and cinnamon on top.

Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and cardamom are all part of a festive pumpkin spice blend. You can either make your own blend or pick and choose what your family likes!
Flavoured coffee syrups and creams. There are so many fun fall flavours to choose from. Or make your own and print off these fun labels for all your DIY syrups and spice blends!
Marshmallows for hot chocolate, cinnamon sticks for hot cider, and vanilla sugar all bring that delicious unique flavour we enjoy at this time of year!

There are 12 circlular label stickers with fall themed graphics.

Sweet treats for a fall coffee bar

What goes better with a hot drink than a little treat on the side! Make your own fall themed treats or grab some store bought ones. Place them in clear jars so everyone can see what’s inside!

If you are looking for some delicious homemade sweet treats that go perfectly with a hot drink try one of these!

If you are making cut out cookies, try using fall themed cookie cutters or decorating you cookies with festive sprinkles and decorations!

A Fall Coffee Bar for the whole family

Make sure to keep your fall coffee bar stocked with things for the whole family!

Maybe you have little kids, are hosting friends, or not everyone in the house is a fan of coffee. Have options for apple cider, tea, and hot chocolate.

For an adult gathering you can add in some delicious coffee liqueurs like Khalua, Baileys, Tia Maria or any of your favourites that go well with a hot drink! Just make sure these are out of the reach of little hands.

Coffee!

Don’t forget the most important part! Grab your favourite coffee or a few festive coffee blends! Whether you have an automated machine, a French press, or anything in between, make the set up as easy as possible to use and enjoy all season long!
