1 | Set up a coffee and tea station
Having everything you need to quickly grab your cup of coffee or tea in the morning is a great styling opportunity.
- First, place your coffee and tea into air tight canisters that fit your decorating style.
- Next, grab a couple of your favorite mugs.
- And anything else you use regularly to prepare your coffee or tea like small spoons, sugar, or lemon.
- Place everything on a tray or platter to anchor them.
Place the tray next to your coffee maker to create a beverage station that both functions and adds style to your kitchen.
