subject: Choose Auditorium Seating For An Authentic Theater Experience [print this page] Once limited to only the wealthiest homeowners, today's entertainment technology has made it possible for anyone to have their own theater in their homes. With affordable large screen TVs, DVD players, and surround sound audio, a spectacular visual and sound experience in one's own home is making the home theater one of the most popular home improvements going. Due to demand, builders of new homes are incorporating the home theater into their floor plans and owners of older homes are converting basements, attics, and other lesser-used spaces into dramatic theaters.
Furniture manufacturers are getting in on this new trend as well with seating and accessory furnishings designed especially for home theater use and comfort. These are often large, overstuffed reclining chairs and sofas that require large spaces and offer limited seating potential. For a true theater experience, purists are going for auditorium seating that offer all of the conveniences and comfort along with the style and durability of actual theater seating. This type of seating accommodates larger audiences for entertaining more friends and family in the smaller, more intimate spaces that are more often available in average family homes.
Auditorium seating has come a long way in comfort and elegant design as any visit to a new upscale theater will confirm. Ergonomic designs, thick cushions, and movable arm rests with cup holders allow for comfortable, convenient seating for hours while enjoying the longest movies. Modern designs with elegant fabrics offer a sleek contemporary look with virtually indestructible durability ideal for hard use. For those who are looking for a more "old time" historical decor, entirely refurbished used theater seating can be chosen. Add framed, vintage advertising on the walls for a delightful trip down memory lane.
Refurbished or slightly used, high quality auditorium seating can save a lot of money in beautifully furnishing a home theater while giving it the comfort and fun of an actual upscale theater. This allows more of the budget to be devoted to the highest quality video, audio, lighting, and automation equipment for a professional theater-quality experience. The different theater seating designs and fabrics available allow for decorating in any style for any taste with the durability of the seating making it worry-free when the rowdiest kids are entertaining their friends.
When designing your home theater, go for the real thing with true auditorium seating to expand your seating capacity in comfort while duplicating the actual theater experience.
