How to Make a Fabulous Beverage Station that will amaze your entire family

Having a beverage station in your home will organize all your drinks and glassware, allowing for an easy and relaxing morning routine (Affiliate Link).  Let's create a beverage station in your home.  I love this idea!  We have one in our home and use it all the time. The kids love it!  It doesn't need to be big.  It just needs to be functional for you.  You can do what you want with it. You can add liquor only or make it family-friendly with teas, hot chocolates, and coffee.  This list is just to start you off.  Feel free to customize it to your particular situation.

Find a place for the beverage station.

Second, decide on a place for your beverage station. We use a corner of the kitchen away from the cooking area. This way, at parties, we can have two different parts for people to get their food and drinks. It works beautifully. Make sure all your items fit in the space. Below, I found some bar furniture (Affiliate Link) from Amazon(affiliate).

Then, organize the items by type of beverage.

All the mugs are in one area, all the wine glasses are in a zone, etc... Remember to add the supplies you would use here, too, like juice, tonic water, club soda, beer, wine, etc...

That's pretty much it.  Feel free to print out the above list to keep in the area so you can check off items you may need.

I hope this helps you and your family create your beverage station. If there are things I missed on this list, please feel free to leave a comment below with the item's name so others can see it, too.
