Now having a home theater at home is indeed a satisfying experience and you can even amp up the atmosphere by getting yourself a dedicated where you can watch movies. The thing is, not everyone has the money to build a home theater. Not to mention, the space constraint that every home has will definitely pose a challenge.
As a matter of fact, there are several other things that any homeowner may do in giving their home an improvement and achieve a home theater feel atmosphere into it.
Repainting
Truth is, using rich and dark colors like navy blue and burgundy creates a home theater feel to your home. Not only that, since light is not reflecting dark colors unlike light colors, the video played on your TV will be improved greatly.
Consider Reorganizing Your Furniture
The screen at your local cinema is positioned right in front of your seats and so does your TV too. This might need a minor adjustment though with your furniture to achieve this level. But it is a small work so it should be the least of your worries.
Add Details
Basically, pillars, decorative moldings and several theater inspired details are easily accessible and can accentuate the place.
Use New Lighting
Majority of the preshow lighting used in commercial theater is actually produced by sconces installed on its wall.
Try putting some walls of your family room in order to create additional lighting which looks as if it is the real thing. Using rope lighting is the closest thing you can get to what theaters are using.
Don’t Forget about Dimmers
If you do not want to run lines of electrical wiring for your sconces, then at least consider swapping your existing switch for dimmers instead. You can fade out lights before the movie begins.
Hide Unsightly Components
Consider removing all audio as well as video components of the home theater system in the room. Rather, put them in a place that it won’t be seen such as a utility room or closet. Trade your remote control to a radio frequency-based remote for aesthetics and functionality.
