I figured since y’all loved my DIY coffee bar I did in my camper, I would show you a step by step process of how to style an Easter coffee bar as well.
This coffee bar is my big one I have at home and you know I love to style it for different seasons. So I thought it would be fun to go into more depth and explain my process behind styling the coffee bar.
And since Easter is coming up soon, it is the perfect time to redecorate and show y’all!

Start With The Basics
When I restyle my coffee bar, I like to remove all the pieces I had on it for the previous season. I had it decorated for Valentine’s Day and I wanted to start fresh.
This also helps me get everything organized to pack away for next year’s decoration as well. After removing all the seasonal decor, I am left with the basic pieces I keep on the bar year round.
Such as my Keurig, tiered tray, and my coffee and tea canisters.
I don’t really go back and look at my previous years past on how I styled it then. My decor is always revolving and changing.
I do usually keep the same pieces, but mix it up when styling them. For example, I always reuse my Rae Dunn Easter pieces but change up where I place them each year.
Add In Some Seasonal Mugs
I always start with adding in my seasonal mugs to my coffee bar. My sweet hubby drilled 6 hooks underneath the shelf for me to hang my mugs on.
We basically did the same thing here as we did at the camper too. That way, you can easily see my Easter mugs hanging there. If you don’t have any seasonal mugs, no worries.
I think a basic white mug or any kind of mug would do just fine. You don’t always have to create a coffee bar for every season if you don’t want to.
I just enjoy it so much and look forward to the next season when I can redecorate it. It’s good for my creative soul!
Style The Shelf
Once I have placed all my mugs on the hooks, I start to style the shelf.
I always like to start with one big piece as my anchor first. I chose to put a big canister on the top left corner and start there.
Then I like to add in a seasonal sign, such as this cute one from Rodworks in Asheville. I like little signs like the one below because it doesn’t take away from my big coffee bar sign above.
I want everything to look nice and neat and not have to fight against each other for attention.
Then, I like to add in a few more fun details. Such as another seasonal mug with some fun paper straws in it. I love using colored and patterned paper straws like this.
You can usually find them at Michael’s or any other craft store for that matter. I have many different colors already and they are easy to switch out from season to season.
The pink color is so versatile because not only can I use it for my Easter coffee bar, but also Spring decor as well. And I even used it already for Valentine’s Day decor too!
Fill in The Gaps
I’m not a professional decorator and I just like to play around with things until they look good to my eye. The best advice I can give you when styling an open shelf is to step back and take a picture.
If things look off in the picture, then start rearranging them! Also, don’t be afraid to just take a break if you start feeling overwhelmed when styling.
I have to be in the mood to style and decorate and if I try to force it, it just doesn’t work for me.
Another thing I like to do to fill in some space is to add in a fun garland.
I have this cute Easter egg one that I found at Hobby Lobby several years ago. It is perfect for my Easter coffee bar!
Style an Easter Tiered Tray
I always have a tiered tray to go along with my coffee bar decor. So I of course like to style that for Easter as well. I just add in simple little touches to things I already have on the tray.
Such as little carrots in my creamer pitcher. Or little Easter eggs in my stackable bowls. I also add in small, tabletop signs and some more of my favorite paper straws again.
Another final thing I like to do is add in a seasonal apron. I attached a command hook to the side of our cabinetry next to the coffee bar.
And I like to switch out fun aprons with pretty patterns from season to season as well.
Conclusion
Well, I hope this gave you some inspiration on how to style your own Easter coffee bar. I also hope it gave you some insight into how my thought process works when I am styling a space.
Again, you don’t have to go all out every season like I do, but I think adding in little seasonal touches here and there is so much fun.
Plus, having reusable pieces that you can incorporate into different seasons is key too! So tell me, do you decorate for Easter too?! Let me know below!
I really love this and your collections of seasonal mugs! Where do you get them? I really like the font on them. Your decorations ideas never disappoint! Thanks for sharing x
Thank you so much! They are Rae Dunn mugs and you can find them at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Homegoods!

Luv, luv your coffee bar styling! Itsdo bright & farmhouse. Would like to kno where to find the shelf. Found the cabinet & pies sign! Many thanks fr your blog I am enjoying reading it!
Thank you so much. We just got the shelf from Lowe’s several years ago (I don’t have a link for it unfortunately) and my hubby drilled hooks underneath it for my mugs. I couldn’t find one with hooks that I liked so we just did it ourselves.
So cute and inspiring
Thanks for sharing

Thank you, I am so glad you think so as well.
Great post! I am in love with the colours and the labels for all your items!
Thank you so much! I love the colors too!
Great style, Do you use the mugs on the hooks for quick reach or just extra mugs for decoration?
Mostly extra for decoration because I have plenty in the cabinet that I actually use for coffee.
Wow! Another gorgeous holiday inspired coffee bar! You may not be a professional decorator, but you really should be! I just love your style. Thanks for sharing!
Awe thanks Jodie. I really appreciate that sweet comment!
I absolutely love your coffee bar. It is so cozy and bright at the same time. I just love. I wish I had more space to recreate your style. However, I’ll steal some ideas. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
Thank you so much! I am so glad I could give you a little inspiration then!
Your coffee bar looks amazing! It looks exactly like the ones I see on Pinterest. I don’t have a coffee bar, but I certainly want to have one now! Thanks for sharing!
Awe thank you so much. I am so glad you think so!

Thank you so much. I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Your designs are always so bright. I love them. Please do post such ideas.
Thank you. I really appreciate it!
This turned out so cute. I am IN LOVE with your seasonal mugs. I adore the way that they tie into your original style/foundation of the coffee bar while also adding that fun Easter twist. That being said, I’m a mug addict, so I may be biased lol I have been looking at doing a bit of seasonal decorating with our mantle and I am taking some inspiration from the way that you approach this.
Awe thank you so much. I really appreciate that! I am a mug addict too. I have way too many and my coffee bar is to blame lol
I love this! Your coffee bar is stunning and the eggs and bunny are adorable! I wish I had a little more room in my place to be able to do something like this.
Awe thank you so much. I love being able to add in seasonal touches here!
Thanks for sharing your easter coffee bar, looks like a lovely idea 🙂
Thank you so much.
I love how you decorated your coffee bar for Easter & the Easter-themed cups & decor are so cute!
Thank you so much! I love to style it!
Aw, this is super cute! I love how subtle the decor is and chic! I hate tacky decor and this makes me want to decorate for Easter. Thank you for sharing xx

Thank you so much Lucy. I appreciate it
I love all your seasonal decor! I don’t think I’m aware of anyone who decorates so thoroughly for the seasons, it’s amazing. This coffee bar looks fab! x
Awe thanks so much Jenny. I appreciate that sweet compliment!
Beautiful! I’ve been meaning to get started on creating our coffee bar but COVID keeps stepping in the way. I love the details and the destress on the coffee bar is gorgeous.
Thank you so much! I hope you find time to create it soon!
This is so creative and well-done! I have a tiny space on my kitchen counter for my coffee pot and my espresso machine is in my office/library room, so there’s not really much of a space to decorate. But you sure are giving me great inspiration for the future!
Thank you so much, so glad it could give you some inspiration!
So cute, you even have the special Easter cups. Love this vintage feeling..
Thank you so much
The design style is similar to my cousin’s who is an event organizer! She loves decorating things like these and this is a great tip for her too! In your picture, it looks so neat and organized. Thanks for sharing xx
