subject: Creating The Perfect Home Theater Room [print this page] As thrilling as it is to see a really great movie on the big screen of your local theater, wouldn't it be even more exciting if you could watch the movie in the comfort of your own home with the same great sound and viewing experience? For many, having a theater room inside the home is the ultimate dream. A home theater room is the best movie watching experience. Many people focus on getting the big flatscreen TV or projector and the biggest and best sound system, but what many people don't realize is that the room you choose to have your home theater in and what you put in that room can make the biggest difference when it comes to the best movie watching experience.
One of the biggest factors in a great home theater is the furniture in the room you've dedicated as your home theater space. You'll want to decide whether you want a big sofa to accommodate large groups or individual seats and recliners. What most people prefer in their movie room is a great sectional. Sectionals are ideal for home theater rooms because many of them can be custom designed to fit the space you have available. They are also very versatile and can fit the tastes of each member of the family. Sectionals with reclining edge seats are perfect for people who prefer to watch movies from the comfort of a recliner.
Sofa sectionals are great for fitting large groups of people on one sofa. Since drinks and snacks are a big part of the movie-watching experience, many sectionals have built in cup holders on the armrests. Leather and microfiber are popular fabric choices for home theater furniture. Microfiber is especially popular because it is stain and spill resistant and outlasts many other fabrics.
Another important element to your home theater room is curtains. If your home theater room has any windows, regular curtains won't quite do the job of cutting out all of light coming in from the window. For your home theater room, you're going to want to look at a blackout curtain. Blackout curtains are designed to block out almost 99% of any sunlight coming in through windows. This will add tremendously to the movie-watching experience. Blackout curtains also provide noise deadening, which will enhance the acoustical properties of your desired room.
Lighting is also important in your room. Accenting lighting can add that final touch to your home theater room that makes it feel like you're watching a film at the theater. Wall sconces especially are a popular way to add low light mood lighting.
When planning your home theater room, don't forget that after you've installed all of your dream gear, the next step is getting the right furniture and decor to turn your home theater room into the ultimate movie-watching mecca.
