HIDDEN SPEAKERS AND TV

The technology behind speakers and home theater displays has rapidly advanced in recent years, making it easier to get quality performance from smaller devices. In terms of your home theater, what this means is it’s easier to get your speakers and TV off your floor. This frees up space and removes bulky, ugly components from view.

You can mount your speakers in your ceiling or walls, creating a surround-sound experience while also making your home theater more aesthetically pleasing. As for your display, you have several options for installing it in a more visually pleasing manner. If you opt to install a projector and screen, the screen can roll up when it’s not in use. If you go for a more traditional flat-screen TV, you can mount it behind a retractable wall panel. Another option is to buy specially made furniture that hides your TV until it’s time to watch something

PICK OUT A THEME

There’s no better way to make your theater unique than by incorporating a theme based on your movie tastes and favorite flicks.

An easy place to start is to hang up some posters from classic movies. For something a little more involved, try including some design elements that reflect your preferred movie genres. If you’re a big fan of Westerns, maybe you want hardwood walls along with some cowboy ephemera. Or perhaps you’re more into science fiction and you want to create a field of stars in the ceiling with LED lights. If fantasy is your favorite genre, hang some prop swords and shields on the walls, and perhaps some dragon-themed décor.

You can mix and match styles and themes until you’ve created something entirely your own. Other options include putting movie posters on the walls, installing a popcorn machine or adding some movie props as decorations.

SEATING AND ACOUSTICS

Your home theater includes more than the video and audio systems you use. Your furniture and décor can have a substantial impact on the viewing experience. Why not go with theater-style seats instead of a traditional sofa or chairs? Our partners make recliners and loungers in a variety of colors, styles and fabrics. You can choose from larger sofas that fit multiple people, individual seats, or a combination of the two. Whatever you choose, you’ll be watching in supreme comfort.

We can also improve the sound quality in your home theater with acoustic treatments. We’ll install acoustic panels throughout your space to absorb and reflect sound waves to account for your theater’s unique characteristics. The result: Everyone enjoys crystal-clear sound throughout the room.
