Creative design and advanced technologies can help you create a theater experience anywhere

When you close your eyes and picture a private home cinema, what do you see? The most common picture that comes to mind is a large, isolated room with a roll-down projector screen, plush theater seating, surround sound, and soft mood lights. And while that’s the dream for some homeowners in Morris County, NJ, that design isn’t to everyone’s tastes.

Some people don’t have space for a dedicated theater room, while others prefer a more flexible design that can accommodate multiple entertainment activities. With creative design techniques and a little help from sophisticated AV, lighting, and shading technologies, you can build a unique home theater system that meets your specific lifestyle needs. Keep reading for three inspirational theater ideas!

Outdoor Theater

How does a movie night under the stars sound? With the right outdoor technology, you can recreate the cinematic experience on your patio or open-area living space. We recommend investing in a durable, weatherproof TV designed for the great outdoors. Leading outdoor televisions range from 55” to 75” and have superior brightness and 4K resolution for fantastic picture quality. When you add a robust outdoor sound system and landscape lighting, you have the perfect setup for streaming the latest HBO Max release with the family on a warm Friday night.

Hidden Theater

What about a theater that only appears when you’re ready to watch a movie or TV show? Hidden technology allows you to create a concealed theater in your family room, living room, den, or great room without altering the room’s interior design. A concealed cabinet, ceiling mount, or beautiful framed artwork can hide your TV until you’re ready to use it. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers can deliver amazing surround sound that’s heard but not seen. Round out your room with motorized shades and smart, dimmable lighting to control the ambient light when it’s time for the show.

Integrate your home theater system with a centralized control platform like Savant. On movie night, use your smartphone to unveil your cinema setup with a single button press. Another tap on your smartphone will fold all your technology back into place at the end of the evening.

Multipurpose Media Room

How about a home theater that doubles as an entertainment hub? Multipurpose media rooms are designed to support a range of entertainment choices — movies, TV shows and other media content, video gaming, and non-techy activities like a pool table or board games. Your media room might contain multiple screens (a fantastic addition during football and basketball seasons), comfortable, flexible seating arrangements with love seats, recliners, and bean bags, and smart, dimmable mood lighting.

Integrating your media room tech with Savant home automation makes it easy for you to send audio and video to multiple display screens and adjust the lighting for specific activities using a single smartphone app or tablet.
