Consider All Your Options

Not all home theaters are built the same way. Some families feel a media room is more appropriate for their lifestyle, while others want to bring the big cinema experience home. Do you want a multi-purpose space that can transform from a room for entertaining guests or lounging on the couch with a good book to a movie room? Or, do you want the room to be used solely for movies? One factor that may determine that decision is what space you have available. If you have an open basement or extra room that would be an ideal place for a dedicated theater. However, if your home has a more open layout and you don’t have separate rooms or spaces to spare then a media room is a better choice. Also keep in mind that we can customize your room to satisfy all of your needs. Our next point in this blog will cover that. 

Pick the Purpose of the Room

Is your theater going to be more of a man cave for watching sports, or are you going to use it for family movie nights? It's important to figure out what you are primarily using the room for so we can design a system that matches your goals. For sports, we can create a video wall or multiple-source, video distribution system that allows you to play different channels at the same time so you don’t miss any Sunday afternoon games. If you just want a cinema-style room, we can install a 4K projector and a surround sound system by a premier manufacturer like Paradigm or Anthem. If you want a more casual space for playing video games, shooting pool or listening to music then sofas, beanbags or recliners will fit. But if you want a more formal space for movie-watching, we have cinema-grade theater seats as well.

Choose a Custom Theme

Another good question to ask yourself before you get started is what am I most passionate about? If you love sci-fi movies, customize your theater by making it look like the interior of a space ship like the Enterprise or Millennium Falcon. If you are a big fan of the Razorbacks, then you can decorate the room in bright red and white and show off your team memorabilia. The beauty of working with a local professional like us is that we can help make the room reflect your personal style and deliver perfect performance at the same time.
