Chic Coffee Mugs To Kickstart Your Morning

Flat White, Cappuccino, Americano… whatever your coffee of choice, you know it’s going to taste better in a good solid mug. From novelty finds to hand-painted styles, we all have our favourites, but we’ve searched out our pick of the most stylish. Not the ones emblazoned with slogans or cartoon characters, but the chic creations that might happen to be insta-worthy. Picture earthy shades to complement the creamy froth of your latte or colourful checkerboard prints to brighten your breakfast table.

Handmade mugs have a unique look and feel. Understandably, you may pay more for these one-off pieces, due to the nature of the time, skill and craft behind them, but my goodness, they are beautiful. Founder of Barton Croft, Laurena Lawson, is proof to that. She barely knew what she was doing when she started, but she fell in love with the process of turning a lump of clay into something spectacular. Today she boasts a vast collection of stunning ceramics for the perfect tablescape. On a larger scale, British company, Burleigh has been producing earthenware mugs since 1885 and are still as treasured as they’ve ever been.

Rustic tableware from the likes of Nkuku or Soho Home are giving true cosy winter vibes, while the bold options from Free People or Artemis Deco will make your cup stand out. Alternatively, to avoid anyone stealing your favourite mug, look to Sézane or Oliver Bonas for their monogrammed iterations.
