Time to Update Your Home Movie Theatre

If you have an extra room in your house, making a home theatre or media room may be one of the best ways to use it. To create the ultimate cinematic experience in your home is a very fun challenge and there are several things to consider. You should take your time to review all available options before selecting the most appropriate components. You’ll want to consider various aspects such as the seating preference and size, your sound system, picture size and quality etc.

Read on to get the best ideas on how to make the best mini home movie theatre.

Seating comes first

Proper seating is one of the most important factors  for an ultimate home cinema experience.

First of all, have in mind that the seating arrangement, size of the room and the size of the screen all need to align. If you’re planning on having more than one row of seating, it’s best to plan for approximately 18 inches to 24 inches between them. You have a lot of space to play with the size, shape, and color of the seats in your home theater room. Many even add custom seats for your kids. To take it to the next level you can even set up different seat accessories such as power controls, inbuilt USB chargers or cup holders. 

If you’re curious about finding the right seating arrangement for your home theatre, there are plenty of options in the market. Here’s what we recommend.

The Panasonic massage lounger could just be the right thing for your home movie theatre!

Model EP-1285K features a contemporary design with high quality leather and a float mechanism which gently touches the body. It also offers a thumb-sensation massage heads that permit 44 types of techniques including Hawaiian massage. This is slightly more affordable option that you can find in 2001 Audio Video store.

A bit more supreme model is The Real Pro Ultra EP-3004K intensity plus massage lounger. It offers a float mechanism that simulates the movements of a rotating wrist for an amazingly life-like massage. 

All that sound

Without a proper sound system, the idea of making a home movie theatre is a total waste. There are many types of sound systems available that are suited for a small home theatre system. 

Start by determining the number of speakers you’ll need in your room based on the size of the space. Then, think about ways you can strategically place the speakers in the room to reduce your investment.  If you’re going to go through the effort of building a home theatre, you’ll want to use either a 5.1 or 7.1 channel surround system. The first one combines 6 different speakers to create an atmosphere of surround sound. Similarly, 7.1 surround sound systems leverage 8 channels in total with two extra speakers improving the audio quality of the home theater system. More budget-friendly option can be choosing a 3.1 soundbar setup. Although a 3.1 system is not surround sound, it can deliver a great sound for a smaller space in your house and is a great value for money. 

You can find some amazing surround sound systems and in the same time save at your local Best Buy.

Picture

The picture quality is one of, if not the most, important aspect of any home theatre system. You’ll need to decide whether you’re going to go flat screen or projection. Projector screens are much more cost-efficient than flat screens provide by TVs.

Have in mind that a big projection screen paired with a budget-friendly projector is significantly cheaper than a large screen TV, especially if you want large screen options. You will spend much more buying an 80-inch flat-screen TV, for example.

If you decide to go for projection screens don’t forget they will fit in the best in a room where there are no windows to disrupt the lighting of the room – ideally a basement or room positioned in the shade with not much sun light during the day.

Custom lighting

Another detail to think about (though it’s more a touch up) is the way you can transform the light in your room to improve the overall movie watching experience. Blackout curtains can help darken the room to make movie viewing more enjoyable. There are specific home theatre blackout curtains that you can buy, just have in mind the price is much higher from the one of classic curtains.
