Jumpstory Download20200916 034114

With so many people having to spend more and more time at home than they ever have in the past, people the world over are trying to find ways that they can have fun and be entertained without having to leave their own property.

For those who previously enjoyed going to the movies, putting your own home theatre together could be a great way to get a similar experience in a safer environment. To help you put something like this together, here are three tips for creating a home theatre.

Be Smart With Your Budget

If you’re trying to create a whole home theatre from scratch, this could become pretty expensive for you. So if you don’t have the money in your budget to put all the pieces together at the same time, you might need to do some strategic thinking about how to work with your budget.

To help you with this, Aline Chahine, a contributor to ArchitectureLab.net, recommends that you get all the technical aspects of your home theatre first before worrying about the comfort or finishing touches of your space. This will allow you to use your home theatre as soon as you have the display system, sound system, and receiver in place, even if you don’t have your ideal seating or snack stations set up yet.

Focus On The Lights and Sounds

When setting up the area that you’ll use as your home theatre, one of your main priorities should be blocking out any outside lights or sounds so that you can focus all of your attention on the media you’re watching without being distracted by anything else.

To accomplish this, Lee Wallender, a contributor to The Spruce, recommends blocking out any light that might be coming from the windows and any sounds that could be coming from inside or outside of your home. This can be done by installing large blackout shades or installing soundproofing materials for added layers of protection from the outside world.

Put In Theatre-Style Seating

The last thing you should add when setting up your home theatre system is your theatre-style seating.

While putting in actual movie theatre seats is an option, you could also put in soft couches, lounge seating, or anything else that you think could be comfortable. For the best viewing, Sherry Rauh, a contributor to HGTV, recommends that you try to elevate the back row so that you can have a great view of the screen no matter where you’re sitting in the room.

If you’re wanting to install a home theatre in your house, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you make the perfect space to enjoy TV or movies with your friends and family.

“Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space… On the one hand, it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure.” – Zaha Hadid
