Bar molding is one of the most popular ways of to enhance the appearance of your home bar. Bar molding generally refers to the different types of single-piece moldings that can be installed at an angle around the bar top. The moldings create a profile that projects out to make the bar top more comfortable and to give the bar top a more rich appearance.
As the name suggests, bar molding acts as an ornamental capping for your bar top. However, this ornamental capping can also be put on other bar features such as walls, cabinets, and built-in features. If the bar molding and similar molding is used throughout the bar it will then create a spectacular architectural element. Adding decorative bar molding to rather simple bar features adds a certain character that the bar would not have otherwise. Many intricate looking bar molding profiles consist of a series of simple moldings installed together to achieve a custom finished appearance.
