What are the signs of a good media room design?
1. Convenience
Media rooms should not make you work to enjoy your media. Automated sound systems placed where you have easy access should rule the day. Windows with automated shades can help enhance your viewing pleasure without making you get up and fiddle with the lighting, too. And don’t forget to arrange furniture for easy access to anything you might need.
2. Good Acoustics
Nothing is worse than straining to hear your favorite show or game over the din of guests whose conversation gets amplified because of where they are standing. Experiment to find the best spot for the TV and speakers so you can hear what you want to hear. It also helps to pick shutters for the windows to avoid muffling sound.
3. Space Enough For Everyone
Media rooms need sharing. They are the center of Super Bowl parties, where the music selection is, and the best place in the house to hang out with your friends. Yes, there is only so much room in the house, but you can capitalize on the space you have to make your media room feel large. This means that furniture should take up only as much space as needed, leaving room for your crowd. Speakers can hang on walls to avoid tripping people, and wires should hide out of the flow of traffic. That is another area where automated shutters and sound systems come in- they don’t have wires hanging everywhere.
