This slate-grey wet bar is just steps from an elegant and well-lit dining room. The dark palette marks it as a service room separate from the more formal dining and entertaining areas.
The formal area's lighter feel gives way to the wet bar's richly dark tone.
Other good spaces to experiment with dark colours: media rooms, powder rooms, libraries.
The glass mosaic tile backsplash adds layers of texture and reflexion to a largely monochromatic design scheme.
Decorative hardware is an excellent way to underscore the charm of a room. The round glass knobs used here are from Restoration Hardware.
The wine fridge was left unconcealed - a cost savings of at least $1,100.
