We have seven easy and affordable steps you can take to achieve that Korean cafe look in your home. It won't take up much space and will work even for small HDB flats in Singapore!

#1 A small round, white table

Start a clean and minimalist slate with a small round table in white. This has a more cosy aesthetic than square or rectangle tables. The white colour also lets your dinnerware and food stand out!

#2 Wooden chairs

Wood colours add warmth to the stark white colour of the table. Pick a chair with a simple design for a more minimalist Korean cafe look.

#3 Wooden trays

Trays might seem unnecessary, but they add a cute cafe vibe to your home! They also have a practical use as it's easier to carry items from the kitchen to the dining area.

#4 Matching dinnerware

Mismatched dinnerware can be a cute look but if you want to achieve the clean and stylish look in Korean minimalist cafes, go for matching dinnerware instead! Pick dinnerware in the same or similar colours in different tones. Mix it with white, glass and wooden dinnerware to avoid an overload of colour.

#5 A collection of small round plates

Instead of large plates which may look too grand and overwhelm the small table, go for multiple small plates. This will give your home a cute and cosy look like in Korean cafes!

#6 Stylish cups & glasses

Hot drinks look best in round mugs with saucers and cold drinks can be shown off in simple glasses. The key is to pick simple, rounded designs that look like they would belong in a cottage in the woods.

#7 A small vase of flowers or plants

Add the finishing touch to your Korean cafe-style dining area at home with simple decorations! Like the plates, choose a small vase to display a few stalks of flowers or leafy plant sticks.

Once your Insta-worthy home cafe is created, it's time to enjoy some equally visually appealing food and drinks in it! Check out some easy recipes for Korean cafe-style drinks and cute toasts.
