$461 Wet Bar

A block of cabinetry near the dining room becomes a stunning wet bar with the addition of a new sink, faucet, and wine refrigerator.

A wet bar in close proximity to the dining room facilitates keeping guests' glasses full. The black sink ($126) picks up on the dark tones of the countertop.

What's a wet bar with out a wine cooler ($180)? Spirits and stemware stored together make impromptu entertaining a breeze, and a wine cooler keeps bottles chilled and ready to serve. Even better!

A simple chrome bar faucet ($155) coordinates with the cabinetry's chrome hardware and works well with the black sink.

Tip: Get creative (and brave) with your sink-faucet combination. Introducing a mix of colors and materials that play well with your existing space creates a distinctive, unique look.
