1. Splurge on Comfortable Seating

Nothing distracts you from a great film like wiggling around in uncomfortable seating the whole time. Chances are, you’ll be spending several hours at a time sitting in your theater, so we recommend investing in seating that’s comfortable and supportive. Look for padded theater-style seats with neck and lumbar support to avoid back pain and stiffness. You can customize your seating with fun features like cup holders, snack trays, charging stations, and even heat and massage functions for added enjoyment.

2. Add Colored Lighting

Enliven your home theater with color-changing LED smart lights that you can change with the press of a button on your smartphone. Adding a splash of pink, green, yellow, purple, red, or blue to your theater can instantly set the atmosphere and vibe of the space for all your viewing events. For example, soft orange lighting enhances the experience of watching spooky Halloween movies, while alternating red and blue lights are perfect for watching the Buffalo Bills on game day. 

3. Soundproof the Theater Room

Audio should be a priority in your home theater design, seeing as sound is at least half of the movie-watching experience. Treating your room with insulating materials and acoustic treatments can help optimize audio inside the theater while keeping unwanted noise (like the HVAC or kitchen appliances) out. While you can soundproof your room as a DIY project, you’ll see better results by working with a professional like Electronic Concepts. Our team will identify trouble areas in your theater and determine the best types of room treatments to balance the soundscape.

4. Add Fun Finishes

Go wild with fun décor that adds charm and personality to your home theater. If you’re a movie buff, line the walls with vintage film posters with custom LED backlighting to show them off. If snacks are your favorite part of the movie-going experience, bring in a popcorn machine to have fresh popcorn to munch on during movie night. Or, if relaxation is the name of the game, build a custom bar in the back to mix up cocktails and serve wine during movies and TV shows.
