Tips for Creating a Home Theatre

Nothing beats watching a movie from the comfort of your own couch with endless snacks, comfortable blankets, and the ability to press pause. Home theatres are no longer only an extravagance for the rich and famous. Thanks to more affordable technology, many families can enjoy a true movie theatre experience without leaving their house! 

Here are a few tips for creating the perfect at-home theatre.

Prioritize Comfortable Seating

Seating is an area where you can get creative according to your overall vision for your home theatre. Some individuals may prefer a solo viewing experience with separate armchairs for everyone. Others may want to recline and place a high priority on seating options with that possibility. Or maybe your ideal viewing experience means having your snacks close at hand, so you want a chair with built-in cup holders or a flat arm on which items can be balanced. 

Perhaps you would prefer a couch or loveseat that can seat multiple people. Whatever your personal preference, make sure your seating options reflect it. Even things like the material might be worth considering. While softer fabrics can be cozy, you may want to select leather for durability.

Focus on Proper TV Placement

Depending on the room size you choose, you’ll want to consider where the TV will fit, given the furniture selection. 

Suppose you’re planning on mounting the TV to a wall. In that case, you might consider having an entertainment system specifically for storing electronics, movies, remotes, cords, etc. If you really want to up your home theatre vibe, consider getting an entertainment center with a built-in fireplace.

Don’t Forget the Snacks and Extras

The best part of having a home theatre is enjoying all the food and beverage your heart desires without the expensive price tag. Arranging side tables around your seating will help you give you a place to set your snacks. Consider including a bar cart to make cocktails or simply create a portable “snack cart” that can easily be brought in and out of the room!
