Factors to be considered when building a Wet Bar in your Home

What kind of amount you want your wet bar to contain will be dictated by space and budget considerations . You may want to go big and install a widescreen TV, surround sound systems and seats for 15-20 friends. Or you may just want a cozy spot to relax with your favorite beverage and a few close friends. Now getting back to favourite beverages, what type of storage requirements do they have? Do you need a wine fridge plus a regular fridge? Are beer taps a must-have? What about a dishwasher or microwave? The number and size of glasses and various items you want will help you properly plan your wet bar.

Two things you’ll want to take into account include space for the sink (most wet bar sinks are small, with an 18-inch-wide sink base) and how much cabinetry you need. Think of all the bar tools you’ll want to have on hand when entertaining: plenty of glasses in a variety of styles (cocktail, wine, beer, etc.) small plates and silverware for munchies, plus tools, wine or other bottle openers, shakers, a blender, and other accessories.

As there’ll be a lot of liquid on your bar, you’ll want a water-resistant top for both the serving and prep areas and you'll definitely want to add a backsplash behind the sink. You might also want to consider laminate flooring behind the bar, in the prep area. Get creative with your design. You can choose your finishes to complement the rest of your home’s design or, if you’re building your wet bar in an unused space, you can use the freedom to create something completely different.

If you want a beer tap system, you’ll need to plan space for taps, a drip tray and your keg lines. Keg lines will need regular cleaning so keep that in consideration and do not hide them away. You might also want to include a kegerator to keep kegs cold. It’s also smart to get a fridge with a built-in icemaker to avoid conservation and fun breaking scenes when you jog to kitchen every time for just ice. This is when it’s really important to know your electrical system. Having a few plugs is great, but will they be able to handle the increased electrical load?
