Three Uniquely Designed IKEA Coffee Stations

If creative design and IKEA SEKTION cabinets had a baby, it would look like one of these coffee stations. There is something comforting about a favorite coffee shop: the smell of freshly brewed coffee with the background noise of typing, chairs scraping, and friendly chit-chat. The barista knows your name and usual order. However, you can’t always justify a trip across town to your favorite spot, and if you start thinking about how four coffees from Starbucks cost about as much as an entire can of Maxwell House, you may feel a little less comforted.
