A wet bar is a fun home improvement project that can add value and enjoyment to your household. Acting as a bar combined with a galley kitchen, a wet bar usually has a countertop, cabinetry, and a sink. To learn more about considerations before installing a wet bar and the array of features they can incorporate, review the following guide.

Location & Size

Deciding on the location of a wet bar is the first step to take. Some people opt to place it between the kitchen and dining room to join these two spaces together. You could also put a wet bar in the basement to create a new room for relaxing and entertaining.

A wet bar should vary in size depending on your needs. They can be customized to fit into an available niche, corner, or nook or even tucked away into a large closet. They can also be more spacious, lining the full length of a basement wall.

Styling

Seating & Accessories

You can personalize wet bars in many ways. Accenting the space with stylish accessories allows you to make it your own. You can add stainless steel or plexiglass barstools with plush cushions, a selection of etched cocktail glasses, and perhaps a custom neon sign that matches your home decor.

Cabinetry & Countertops

To achieve a modern design, choose a sleek marble countertop and white cabinetry for your wet bar or add a little color with a mosaic backsplash. A brightly colored wine rack or shelving lined with patterned wallpaper is another idea to play up color. The paint on walls that delineate the space can make a wet bar stand out from its surroundings. A stone floor or glass-fronted cabinets would add a touch of elegance.

Entertainment Additions

Adding a TV or stereo system to a wet bar can turn it into a destination for entertaining. You and your friends can gather to watch the game at your in-house bar or listen to music while enjoying appetizers and cocktails.
