The best way to keep you pepped up throughout the day.
Some people just can’t function without coffee. But what makes your daily cuppa even more refreshing? Why, a charming coffee nook, of course!
“But my house doesn’t have enough space!” you cry. Fret not, dear readers, and let these homes serve as an inspiration to create your own nook, no matter how big (or small) your house is.
1. A farmhouse aesthetic

How about a quaint little nook with the rustic, idyllic charm of a farmhouse? Take a leaf out of this one, where the warm, wooden accents are reminiscent of an old-school farmhouse far from the concrete jungle that is Singapore.
To achieve this homely look, one simple way is to get a multifunctional coffee machine like the Nespresso Atelier.
Nespresso Atelier comes with an in-built milk frother, to create 9 café-style coffee recipes from a cappuccino to a mocha, meaning you don’t need separate appliances to achieve the milk texture you like. Best thing is, you aren’t just limited to just dairy milks - you can also froth plant-based alternatives like almond or soy! You can enjoy your morning coffee the way you want it, and lead a simple, back to nature lifestyle in line with your farmhouse aesthetic.
2. A luxe marble counter

If there’s one thing you need for a modern, luxe look, it has to be marble. The homeowners of this Choa Chu Kang HDB know this well, and have created this nook using a white marble countertop paired with black accents to create this oh-so-sleek look. We also love their plants and rattan chairs here, as it adds a natural element to the room.
And the sleek, chrome finish of the Nespresso Atelier will look right at home on your modern luxe marble counter. Coffee aficionados will love its Ristretto function, which isn’t found in many coffee machines, and is sufficient for an extra shot of energy on the days you need some.
3. A simple white-and-wood nook

Those who love the minimalist look will love this coffee nook. Designing a nook along the lines of the wall is a great way to ensure that the house layout remains simple and clean. We also love how the blue bar stools add a small, yet vibrant touch of colour to the home!
Thankfully, the Nespresso Atelier is slim enough to look right at home on any surface, large and small. Also, it also helps you keep in line with the fuss-free life of a minimalist, as the detachable, dishwasher-safe parts are easy to clean. Plus, it has a quick heat up time of only 25 seconds and is equipped with an alert system that sends you reminders when it’s time to clean your machine.
4. A window settee

Got a high window in your home? Consider installing a settee below them to turn it into a cosy nook. It’s a streamlined, more space-efficient option to the typical stool-and-counter breakfast nook, and it’s also a great place to catch some sun – especially if you don’t have the time to head out.
And in the event that it gets too warm to your liking, simply brew up a cold drink with the Nespresso Atelier. Whip up a simple iced latte, or if you’re feeling fancy, elevate it to a luxurious coffee treat with a simple touch of the “Ice Frappe” button. Yes, that’s all you need to make indulgent coffee drinks (like this Ice Cheesecake Frappe, for example). Easy, isn’t it?
Additionally, the machine’s cold frothing capabilities allows you to churn out your favourite drinks chilled.
5. A balcony breakfast bar

There are a ton of things you can do with a balcony. This home in Pasir Ris shows you just how it can look – with a full length table and chairs, it’s turned into a private area that’s perfect for journaling over a cuppa in the morning. It’s also a great place to host your friends and family!
In the event that you’re serving multiple guests at a time, you’ll be able to create their coffee of choice with the Nespresso Atelier at the touch of a button. And the possibilities are endless – hot, cold, dairy or plant-based, and even a mocha using actual chocolate pieces!
For some recipe inspiration, check out the range of indulgent coffee creations you can whip up with Nespresso’s dessert-inspired Barista Creations flavoured coffees.
Create your favourite drinks with the Nespresso Atelier!
Whether it’s for your morning coffee or a midday pick-me-up, having a cuppa at a charming coffee nook may be just what you need to keep you invigorated throughout the day.
With a one-touch system, the Nespresso Atelier machine is a go-to for all your favourite hot, cold, coffee or milk-based drinks. Whatever your preference is, it’s the perfect appliance as it’s able to froth up your choice of milk (both dairy and plant-based kinds), thanks to its in-built auto-frothing technology.
So go ahead – make it the newest addition to your coffee nook, and let your imagination run wild as you create whichever coffee recipe you fancy, whenever you like.
