More and more people are planning to build a home theatre. Who can blame them? Watching movies is one of the most enjoyable things to do. If you do not want to spend any more on movie tickets to see the latest films on the big screen, you can save up and build a home theatre instead. With all the high-tech home theatre systems available today, you can easily recreate a movie theatre right in your own home.
Of course, it will cost money to build a home theatre but with careful planning, you can make sure that your investment will be worth it. If you have serious plans to build a home theatre, you would need to think about the following:
First, you need to decide whether you will be converting a spare room to a home theatre or if you would be installing the home theatre system in your living room or perhaps you would want to build an additional room. A dedicated home theatre room is, of course, the ideal choice because you can go all out in setting up and decorating it as a small-scale movie theatre. However, in most cases, the living room is also the home theatre. This is perfectly fine but there are certain limitations because the living room cannot, of course, look like a mini movie theatre.
Once you have decided where to build a home theatre, you need to make several purchases including that of the home theatre system, furniture, lighting and décor. The home theatre system is, of course, the most important and the biggest purchase. You can either buy a complete set or you can start with the basic components such as the TV, DVD player and audio system and just add other devices later on such as extra speakers. Test different systems before making a purchase. Check the TV's picture quality and the sound quality of the speakers. Read consumer reviews of different home theatre systems to find out what actual home theatre owners recommend.
Furniture is also very important to your home theatre. It has to offer both comfort and functionality. Consider the size of the room and pick your furniture accordingly. Position the pieces in such a way that every seat in your home theatre is in a good viewing and listening position. Do not forget to choose appropriate furniture if you will be using a multi-purpose room.
Create the perfect movie theatre ambience by using dimming lights or variable lights for living rooms. Choose those that can be remotely controlled so you can easily adjust the lighting in the room. For dedicated home theatre rooms, add some décor such as movie posters or personalised signs.
Draw a plan of your home theatre design. Think about how you will set up the system. Get professional help or ask a knowledgeable friend to give you a hand. When you plan ahead, you will find it is not too difficult to build a home theatre.
