analysis: 5 Things to Keep in Mind When You Design Your New Home Theater

Location is key

Notes:

• The best size room for creating a home theater is around 20 feet by 13 feet. A garage or a basement could be ideal. However, the room you choose needs to be well insulated. This will help keep the noise from disturbing the neighbors. It will also help keep you and your family comfortable while enjoying the theater.
• You’ll not only need to insulate the inside of the walls but also install acoustic foam panels on the walls and ceiling. The acoustic tiles should be black or another dark color.
• This will prevent the light from the screen or windows reflecting off the walls, which would brighten the room enough to lower the screen’s image quality and distract from your watching experience.

Find a reputable dealer for your A/V solutions

Notes:

• There are a few different pieces of audio visual equipment you’ll need to create a full, surround-sound theater effect. These include, at a minimum, a home theater projector, a screen, an A/V receiver, Blu-ray players, and a speaker system that includes subwoofers.
• Deciding on what you need, while staying within your budget, can be an overwhelming task. However, an electronics dealer who is well-versed in A/V setup, like Briggs A/V Solutions, can help you put together the ideal home theater for you while staying within your budget.

Wiring the room

Notes:

• Your home theater needs to be wired for the speakers, the projector, and the ambient lighting. This will take some planning to optimally place everything for the best effect. Most home theaters use five to seven speakers.
• The projector system usually includes two cables, an HDMI cable for high-definition video, and a CAT5 control wire for remote control. The ambient room lighting also needs a thoughtful layout to create a movie theater atmosphere. Recessed ceiling lighting and wall sconces are perfect.
• You need to ensure that you have the power sources for each of these elements. This means that you’ll likely have to plan out the placement for everything in the theater before you call the electrician. Otherwise, the outlets and hookups may not be optimally placed.

Lay down comfy carpeting

Notes:

• A thick, plush carpet with thick padding underneath, will further insulate the room and improve the sound quality. It will also decrease the noise for people moving around the room, and it will keep you and the other viewers warmer and more comfortable through the viewing.

Theater seating and furnishings

Notes:

• There are quite a few options for furnishing your home theater, but comfort is key. You can simply go with a sofa, loveseat, or recliners, or you can go with real theater seats. You may even be able to find antique or vintage theater seats from a defunct theater.
• Arrange the furniture so that everyone has a good view of the screen. For a finishing touch, you can add a popcorn machine, snack bar, and refrigerator for drinks. Finally, invite your friends, relax and enjoy the show.

• FINAL REMARKS

  A home theater can elevate a house from just a house to a comfortable gathering place for friends and family. It’s also a great way to enjoy your favorite movies the way they were meant to be watched. If you’re thinking about adding a theater room to your home, keep these five elements in mind.
