Home Theater Design Tips
There is always something exciting about going to the theater to watch a movie. The smell of popcorn is enticing, the slushie machine shows off its brightest colors, and we wait in anticipation as the lights dim and the movie begins. If you wish you could experience this experience each day, then you just might be ready for a home theater! From converting an old guest room to building a new addition to your house, spare rooms are an excellent place for home theaters. Of course, if said rooms have a lot of windows, you might worry about glare on your screens and bright lights ruining the movie mood. Fortunately, our home theater design tips are here to save the day. Read on to learn more.
Tip 1: A Dark Room
When it come to our home theater design tips, room darkening shades are right at the top. After all, no one wants bright sunshine or street lamps causing a glare on their screens! Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers a wide variety of room darkening shades that prevent this from happening. For example, LightLock™ system available with Duette® Honeycomb Shades is optimized to absorb or deflect nearly all incoming light throughout the day and night. This can include natural sunlight during a hot summer afternoon or artificial light from street lamps and passing cars at night time. The result is a home theater that, much like a real theater, is undisturbed by unwanted light.
Tip 2: Automated Shades
If you really want to take your home theater to the next level, then you will love what is up next on our list of home theater design tips. PowerView® Automation allows you to open, close, or adjust your window treatments with PowerView® App on your phone, the sleek Pebble® Control, or your voice if you hook your PowerView® Automation up to your favorite smart-home system. This includes Apple Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. This means that instead of getting up to open and close your shades, you can sit back, relax, and let PowerView® Automation go to work.
Tip 3: Fun Decor
Last but not least on our list of home theater design tips is adding fun décor. Whether you want to add framed photos of classic movies or install a vintage popcorn machine, the finishing touches that you add will set the mood for your home theater. Options can also include old cameras, cardboard cutout standees of your favorite show and movie characters, and more. Throw in a couple of comfy blankets and pillows and you have a home theater that will make you question why you ever went to a theater outside of your home in the first place.
