Got an Extra Room? Why Not Turn It Into a Home Theater?
Where to Start?
Draw out your ideas to use the entire space within the room. Determine where the screen will go, where the theater seats are to be placed, and where the stand alone, Fluance speakers will stand to offer the best sound in the room. Think of the seating arrangement for the entire family. You may want to include special child seating and play area, a karaoke machine, different gaming machines, etc. You may even want to consider adding a mini bar area where you can mix cocktails for your friends. Of course, the elements you add to your home theater room will depend upon the size of the room and your budget.
Getting it Done
You can implement the home theater design yourself, but if you don’t feel capable of doing this, then you can hire a specialized home theater and audio technician to recommend the best equipment and installation methods. Remember, while you want to keep the style high-tech, you also want your Nuance speakers located in area where they won't be turned over and where they can offer wonderful sound quality.
If you do decide to install the system, yourself, make sure you purchase all the devices, equipment and cables to connect your devices. The most important of your purchases are the new Nuance speakers and the flat-screen television, so be sure your budget enough money for these high-dollar items. Don’t skimp on these items; you can expect the high-quality Nuance speakers to cost somewhere around $1,000 and the television a few thousand dollars more. Remember, you want your home theater to last over several years so be sure you purchase quality equipment.
The Furnishings
Once you buy the high-tech, high-ticket items then you can think about the furnishings. Choose your furnishings according to your needs. You don’t necessarily have to have cinema style chairs for a home theater room, and can instead opt to put in comfortable couches for a more intimate feel.
Bottom Line
The point is that you carefully plan out your video room. Make sure the décor and colors you choose are intimate and warm, yet offer a dark environment when showing the movie. Make sure you choose heavy blinds or drapery for rooms that have large windows. Use darker, warm colored tones as the room colors. Purchase equipment that is of high quality, and
furnishings that are extremely comfortable. Remember, this will be a room you spend a lot of time in.
