There’s nothing quite like enjoying your favorite movies from the comfort of your home. Today there are affordable options for video projectors, sound systems, wifi-enabled receivers, and other components to create theater visual and sound quality within just about any budget. But once you’ve planned for the best technology, what else do you need to consider when designing the ultimate home theater?
Ideas for Designing Your Ultimate Home Theater:
Ideas for Designing Your Ultimate Home Theater:- Furniture. Since one of the most significant benefits of a home theater is comfort, furniture is one of the most essential elements in your room. Of course, you’ll want to consider your preferences–for example, if you want individual recliner-type chairs or couch-style furniture. Leather-covered furniture generally stands up better to spills and is more durable than other fabrics. Home theater professionals can help you measure your room, assess your screen and speaker locations, and help you plan the most optimal locations for seating.
- Flooring. Many homes now feature wood, laminate, or tile flooring. However, sound bounces off solid surfaces, which doesn’t work well for sound systems. Wall-to-wall carpet or carpet tiles will absorb sound and create a better audio experience for you and your guests.
- Wall colors. Think about the colors of the walls in your favorite cinema. Likely you’ll see very dark colors like black, red, navy, and purple. These colors help to absorb excess light instead of reflecting it. Choosing dark paints for the walls, rich stains for wood furniture, and black or brown leather for seating will help keep your screen light, bright, and the center of attention.
- Lighting. Lighting isn’t just functional–it can also bring your personal style into your home theater. Wall sconces and decorative floor lamps can all be connected to your home automation system, so light can be dimmed or raised either automatically or by using an app on a tablet or smartphone. At the same time, don’t forget to reduce lighting with black-out shades and blinds for your windows. AEInteriors can install automated blinds so you can open and close them from a remote device.
- Treats. Don’t forget about designing an area for snacks and beverages in your home theater. Adding a small refrigerator for sodas, a place for a popcorn machine, and shelving for your favorite candy selections will make it easy to grab a treat without missing a moment of the movie.
