Add a big dose of style and sophistication to your early morning routine with a one stop coffee station right in your kitchen! Stylishly keep all of your java essentials in one convenient spot so you never have to go searching/stumbling around the kitchen before your eyes have fully opened.

What you'll need:

 

• A cart or open shelving unit
• Coffee maker or french press 
• Small coffee grinder (for whole beans)
• Container for beans or grounds
• Chic coffee cups
• Sugar or other sweetener with container
• Stirring spoons or sticks
• Tea (for your non-caffeinated friends)
• Any small accessories for accents

Invite the outdoors inside in 2016 with big, bold, and beautiful floral wallpapers in rich colors and textures. Style tip: Keep the room decor simple and neutral, and go big with the wall decoration. You can also use a fabric, instead of traditional wall "paper" for added depth and richness.

From antique china to lighting and upholstery, make everything old "new" again in 2016 by incorporating timeworn pieces into your modern home. Shop flea markets and antique fairs to find the perfect pieces at decent prices.

With roughly 34% of the entire American workforce doing freelance work and telecommuting, an organized and functional workspace is a must. Make your desk area a place you want to be by adding some beautiful design elements to inspire creativity.  Surround yourself with your favorite art prints, wall colors, flowers, small potted plants, natural linen curtains, soothing aromatherapy candles, chic lamps, luxe chair, functional shelving, or coordinating accents.
