Coffee mugs are more than cups. Not only do they redefine our morning routines, but they act as decor for our cabinets and kitchen shelves.

Given these varied roles, Sarah Jessica Parker has chosen one of the best coffee mugs: it's the Marimekko Oiva/Siirtolapuutarha coffee cup.

The actress gave fans a glimpse of the cup in a recent Instagram post. Her black, white, and yellow mug is inspired by the 'Siirtolapptarha' or 'city garden.' It features motifs of both the urban landscape and nature in its stunningly line-drawn design. It requires coffee mug storage that shows it off.

These coloful mugs would be the perfect complement to open shelving in a kitchen. Rather than a remodel or repaint which is expensive and time-consuming, colorful mugs can be easily picked up. Marimekkos designs are more than patterns; they are miniature works of art.

I think Carrie Bradshaw, SJP's fashion-obsessed character on Sex and the City, would approve.
