It’s no secret that hipsters and craft beer go hand in hand. If you’re hoping to achieve a space that is perfect for sampling a few new brews, set up your very own craft beer bar. Put a couple of comfortable chairs in the corner of your living room, add a mini fridge and treat yourself to a selection of delicious brews—voilà, your craft beer corner is complete!

Are you rocking a surprisingly dashing beard? If so, this idea is for you! Tailoring part of your bathroom into a dedicated beard trimming station is a great way to individualise the room, as well as making it practical. Invest in some cool lighting, a good mirror and a couple of shelves for all your products.

The minimal study

Yes, that’s right—even hipsters have to work. For an area that will get your creative juices flowing, create yourself a minimal study. This area needn’t take up too much space. Simply invest in a quality lamp, few study accessories (notepads, pen pots etc), a couple of shelves and a comfortable table and chair!

The juice bar
