FREE Raising the Bar, Right in Your Home Guide -strategic location will create the fun

Since entertaining guests usually involves food and beverages, this not-so-simple task often means that people end up in the kitchen instead of enjoying the rest of your home. And, if you manage to get everybody into the place where you planned to entertain them, you're constantly running back to the kitchen to grab essentials instead of being social with your guests.

In your home, a properly planned entertainment area in a strategic location will create the fun, warm, and inviting environment you've always wanted. The wet bar centralizes the entertainment of your guests and doesn't need the kitchen to do so. It provides a place to store and serve food and beverages, and has cleanup capabilities as well. This is why the wet bar is called a wet bar: it has access to running water.

Before getting this project started, you should know a few things. The key to completing any project deliberately and effectively is planning. First, we'll talk about bar-location planning, and then about the amenities you'll want in your bar, which go hand-in-hand. Finally, we'll discuss lighting for your wet bar.

Location planning is crucial. A few things to consider are: water, waste lines, and electricity.

Access to a waterline and a waste line is mandatory for the bar to be considered a wet bar. This is where talking to your plumber really helps. He or she should be able to suggest a place that's within reach of these two necessities-and hopefully within the area of your proposed place of entertainment. Accessing water and waste lines should be relatively simple, and your plumber should be able to make it work.

Second, access to and wiring for electricity makes lighting and appliances at your bar possible. Of course, your electrician will need to know what major appliances you'll want in your wet bar (see below). He or she will situate the proper amount of amperage/voltage you'll need for running your appliances. Also, plan for extra electrical capabilities in this area if you decide to add more appliances later.

Next, it's time to plan for the amenities.

Until next time, Happy Home Improving!
