In a media-driven culture like the one we live in home theaters are a growing trend. Having a theater system conveniently located in your home makes for easy and affordable enjoyment of the latest movies and video games! If you’re considering installing one here are a few things you should consider to make the planning and installation process as painless as possible.
1) Plan your layout: Take into consideration power sources and light fixtures as you plan the layout of your home theater system. Consider wall mounts and wire organizers to save space and maintain a tidy appearance. Forethought like this will save you significant time when the professionals arrive to help with the installation of your new equipment.
2) Provide seating options: What good is a home theater without comfortable and abundant seating options? You can choose from couches, lounge chairs, settees, ottomans and armchairs or you can go with a trendy mix-and-match approach and use all of the above!
3) Choose a color scheme: You are the interior designer of your home theater. Purchase movie posters or memorabilia from your favorite films, select a trendy color scheme or plan the room around a unique theme to make the room a funky and fun reflection of your style and favorite films.
4) Invest in quality equipment: You don’t have to buy everything at the same time or purchase all the newest equipment however; whatever you do choose to purchase should be high quality. Choose speakers, gaming consoles, televisions and DVD players from well-known and reputable companies. While the up-front cost may be slightly higher, the money you save in repairing and replacing broken electronics is well worth the investment. Finally, save yourself a lot of headaches and pay the professionals to set up your equipment – they’ll be able to trouble-shoot any problems that arise and you’ll be guaranteed a finished product in half the time.
