Cheap Couches for Sale: How to Create a Home Theatre

 

Home theatres are quickly becoming a popular feature in many modern homes. Not only is a home theatre a great way to watch your favourite movies, but it can also be an excellent way to make use of an empty room and increase the value of your home. With our easy step-by-step guide, you can create a home theatre in your house to make countless memories with friends and family. The cheap couches for sale from 5Star Furniture allow you to take your movie nights to the next level with comfortable seating in your home theatre.

 

 

Steps To Create Your Home Theatre:

 

A home theatre is more than just a room with a big TV and a comfortable couch. A home theatre captures the mood and experience of going to the movies, whilst still being in the comfort of your own home. We have highlighted the easy steps you can take to transform a room in your house into a home theatre.

 

1) Choose a Dedicated Space:

 

Home theatres are no longer reserved for the rich and famous. Now anyone with an empty basement or spare room can have their own home theatre to make memories in with friends and family. Find a room in your home that is not in use and transform it into your dedicated home theatre. An ideal size space for a home theatre is roughly 6 meters long by 5 meters wide, but you can tailor your home theatre to the space you have available.

 

 

2) Control Natural Lighting:

 

Homeowners often strive to increase the natural light in their home, but in a home theatre, natural light is a major problem. Natural light will affect the quality of the movie on your screen and decrease the enjoyment of watching movies in your home theatre. When creating a home theatre, you need to take every step to prevent natural light from coming into the room.

 

The easiest option is to choose a space that does not have any windows, such as a basement. If you do not have a basement in your home, you can then use block-out curtains or blinds in your room to sufficiently block the natural light. Make sure to add a door guard to prevent any natural light from slipping in under your home theatre door.

 

3) Set The Mood:

 

You need to set the stage for your home theatre by creating a cinema-like experience. The easiest way to do this is by painting the entire room black. While painting the whole room black may be a terrifying thought, this will create a cosy and comfortable mood in the room and ensure an optimal movie-watching experience.

 

Another way to set the mood in your home theatre is with sconce lights. These lights placed in equal intervals along your home theatre walls will allow everyone to find their seats before the movie in a cinema-like style. Select light sconces that can be dimmed as the movie begins for the ultimate home theatre experience.

 

 

4) Insulate the Room:

 

An ideal location in your home for a home theatre would be an area that is away from your home office or the bedrooms. This way you can ensure that you will not be distracted while you are working if your family is watching a movie, and your movie night with your spouse will not keep your children awake. If this is not an option, you can easily control the sound with acoustic insulation.

 

Acoustic insulation is the best way to keep noise inside the home theatre, as well as block out any outside noises from distracting from the movie. Acoustic insulation will also improve the experience of watching the movie. Rather than the sound bouncing off your hard walls and ceiling, the sound will be absorbed and thus improve the sound quality in your home theatre.

 

The easiest way to insulate your home theatre for acoustics is with acoustic panels. Acoustic panels can be easily purchased and then hung on your walls. Acoustic panels also come in various shapes, colours, and patterns, allowing for a personalised touch in your home theatre.

 

5) Surround Sound:

 

One of the best aspects of a cinema is the surround sound as it allows you to feel immersed in the movie. By installing surround sound in your home theatre, you can create the perfect movie-watching experience. We recommend hiring expert installers for your surround sound to ensure that the sound is suitable to your home theatre size and that the wiring is expertly done.

 

6) The Big Screen:

 

No home theatre is complete without the big screen. You can either select to have a large TV or a projector screen on the wall of your home theatre, depending on your budget. If you choose to have a projector screen, you will also need to purchase the projector and install it in a ceiling projector bracket. If you choose to go with a projector screen in your home theatre, we recommend choosing a smart projector as these projectors can connect to your home network so that you can easily watch Netflix movies.

 

 

7) The Perfect Seating:

 

The seating you choose for your home theatre is critical. Above everything else, your seating needs to be comfortable. No one wants to go through the time and effort of creating a home theatre to not enjoy watching movies in the room because of the seating.

 

When choosing your seating, you can stick to the classic cinema style of rows of single seats or have two or more couches placed in the room. Your quantity of seating will depend on the size of your room and how many people you would ideally like to have over for movie nights. When planning your seating, keep in mind that there needs to be adequate space between the first seats and the screen, as well as enough room for your friends or family to comfortably move around.

 

8) Consider Tiered Levels:

 

One of the greater novelties about going to a cinema is walking down the steps to find your correct seat. You can achieve this effect by creating tiered levels in your home theatre. Not only will this capture the nostalgia of going to the movies, but it will also optimise the viewing experience for your friends and family.

 

To create tiered levels in your home theatre, you need to first measure the space and work out how many levels you can have while still allowing for a comfortable distance from the screen. To create the tiered levels, you can either build your own platforms, buy pre-built movie risers, or hire a specialist to craft a personalised set of platforms for your space. Choose an option that works with your budget and preferred time frame for the completion of your home theatre.

 

 

9) The Finishing Touches:

 

You can go to town with the finishing touches in a home theatre. Popcorn is a major component of going to the movies, so you can consider investing in a popcorn machine for your home theatre. Classic cinema designs always have a red velvet curtain positioned alongside the screen, which you can incorporate to enhance your home theatre experience. Find finishing touches that make the space feel enchanting so that you always feel the magic of going to the cinema when in your home theatre.
