Your home bar does not have to look like your local sports pub.  Lighted beer signs are not necessary nor will they impress your friends unless you live in a frat house.  Metal wall art that features ancient beer prices will not class up your bar area, unless of course you are a beer connoisseur.  Instead of going for the cliché bar look, here are some more sophisticated, adult ideas you can try. 

Center the theme of your home bar around wines instead of beer.  Give the wall surrounding your bar an aged faux finish and if possible a Venetian mural design.  Paint a window scene of a winery scene and frame it with ivy leaves. 

Furniture for your home bar area should be rich upholstery fabric for the seats on an ornate wrought iron décor frame.  Install a black iron footrest near the bottom of the bar. 

At the back of the bar, install mirrored shelves, with or without doors.  If you do use doors, they should be see-through.  Fill the shelves with gold trimmed wine glasses.

Finally hang a beautiful iron wine rack on the wall like this Milano Iron Wine Rack.  Measuring 44" high X 18" wide, this wine rack has a beautiful stylized design and will allow you to display up to five of your favorite bottles of wine.  If your bar area is large, I recommend you purchase two of these to flank your shelves where your wine glasses are held, especially since the price is so reasonable.
