In your media room there will be a choice of a drop down projection screen for viewing or a large projection television styled screen, possibly hidden in custom cabinetry. Your screen, whichever one you choose, is best hidden within the room design. It keeps the space uncluttered and sophisticated looking until such time as you are ready for your movie viewing. Speakers will be placed throughout the space to create a surround sound effect in such a way that is most appropriate for your seating arrangement. All the audio equipment is discreetly hidden in such a manner that it practically renders itself invisible, almost stealth like.
For the aesthetics in your room consider acoustical panels for the walls to help with the soundproofing. Durable fabrics for the seating that are kid and food spill friendly will go a long way in keeping your media room low maintenance. Commercial grade flooring is an excellent option as well considering the amount of traffic you can expect to have in your new space. Coffered ceilings are another popular choice to add architectural detailing as well as tasteful and stylish faux finishes. Should your media room have an exterior window, consider a motorized window shade for convenience and it can add to the movie theatre experience.
Last but not least, don’t forget the FUN accessories you can have in your media room. A concession counter serving candies, popcorn, pop and latte’s is a fun way of adding to your movie theatre experience. Adding movie posters that mean something to you and your family, possibly an old favourite that you all enjoyed together. Built in cup holders are an extra but well worth it to keep drink spillage at a minimum. No matter what size room you have there will be a screen and audio system that is sure to fit your space and your budget.
Enjoy your media room, no driving in traffic, standing in lines, just sit back and take pleasure in the space you have created. You deserve it!
