How to Create a Stylish Starbucks-Style Interior in a 1K Apartment for 100,000 Yen
I will explain specifically how to create a stylish Starbucks-style interior in a 1K apartment with a budget of 100,000 yen. The characteristics of Starbucks interiors are a sophisticated space that incorporates warm wood, a color scheme based on dark colors, ambient lighting, and plants and art. Let's recreate this atmosphere cost-effectively.
1. Changing the atmosphere of walls and floors
• Wallpaper sheets/Remake sheets
(Cost: 5,000–10,000 yen)
Utilize wood-grain or concrete-style remake sheets that can be applied to walls. Choosing a peelable type is safe even for rentals.
• Recommended colors:
Dark brown, gray, beige tones
• Area to apply:
Just adding accents in parts is fine.
• Rugs or joint mats
(Cost: 3,000–5,000 yen)
Lay down rugs or mats in calm colors to match the flooring.
2. Furniture selection and placement
• Wood-grain tables/shelves
(Cost: 10,000–15,000 yen)
Use second-hand furniture, Nitori, or IKEA to choose dark brown low tables or shelves.
• Example: Nitori's "Low table
(4,000–6,000 yen)" etc.
• Chairs and stools
(Cost: 5,000–10,000 yen)
Stools or chairs with metal frames and wood are Starbucks-style.
• Cafe-like counter items
(Cost: 5,000–10,000 yen)
Make a simple counter table DIY or use an inexpensive shelf as a counter.
3. Creating atmosphere with lighting
• Ambient lighting or pendant lights
(Cost: 5,000–10,000 yen)
By installing multiple warm-colored lights, you can create a soft space like Starbucks.
• Example: Simple lamps from Nitori or Muji
(around 3,000 yen).
• LED candles or light strips
(Cost: 2,000–3,000 yen)
Placing them on windowsills or shelves increases the stylishness.
4. Decoration
• Greenery (houseplants)
(Cost: 3,000–7,000 yen)
Starbucks always incorporates plants. Fake greenery is also fine.
• Example: Monstera, Sansevieria,
small succulents.
• Art frames and posters
(Cost: 2,000–5,000 yen)
Display art with a simple and sophisticated design.
Coffee-related posters are also great.
• Small items
(Cafe-style mugs, trays, bookstands) (Cost: 2,000–5,000 yen)
Decorate with small items to add a cafe feel to the space.
5. Points for cost-cutting
• Utilize recycle shops and flea market apps
If you look for second-hand furniture on Mercari or Jimoty, you can find high-quality items within your budget.
• DIY
Handmake small items and storage using 100-yen shop items.
• Only buy necessary furniture
In a 1K apartment, choosing the minimum necessary furniture keeps costs down while leaving space in the room.
With this method, you can create a stylish Starbucks-style room for about 50,000 to 70,000 yen. Using the remaining budget for DIY or art projects to arrange it freely will add even more personality!
