Given the advent of top-notch movie quality experiences from numerous excellent home theater equipment manufacturers, many homeowners are demanding the inclusion of a media room in their property searches. It’s become a mainstay of residential properties in even more modest price points, creating an entire industry around superlative media room design.
It used to be that in order to get fully immersed into an action movie, sci-fi thriller, or any other film genre where out of this world sights and sounds are of the utmost importance, you had to go to the movie theater, which meant uncomfortable seating and overpriced refreshments … actually, it’s more like REALLY OVERPRICED refreshments.
Luckily, all that has changed and you can get an even better moviegoer experience now right in the comfort of your own home. In fact, professional media room design has taken on a whole new level of creativity and decorative flair. You can go for the prototype of a movie theater complete with red carpet and even a rope barring entry until it’s showtime. Put an inexpensive classic theater-themed popcorn machine with soda fountain in the back and you have the complete experience of going out to the movies without leaving your home … or the REALLY OVERPRICED refreshments. It’s all you can eat popcorn and soda any night of the week in the family movie room.
If you’re looking for a more contemporary look, consider ambient back-lighting on the surrounding walls with dimmable, recessed lighting on the ceiling and nothing pointing directly at the screen, which would produce a distracting glare. Put a big comfy, leather reclining seats or sectional around the primary viewing area and you’ve got seats more comfortable than even the the most state-of-the-art theater is capable of. Try throwing a few bean bags closer to the screen for a more relaxed front row where the kids can even lie down for the ultimate in comfort, while getting up nice and close to the action.
