4 design tips for creating the best home theatre room
There’s a lot that goes into the perfect home
theatre. Controlling the light, casting a big enough image,
and reducing ambient sound, are just some of the features
needed to deliver an exquisite viewing experience. However,
the one thing which gets overlooked most of the time is the
room itself.
If you’re designing a new home theatre or refurbishing an
old one, then there are a few things you should be thinking
seriously about. Here, we give you the top four
design tips that help to create the perfect
home theatre room.
Select seats to ensure proper viewing and comfort
One of the main aspects of an excellent
home theatre is the seating. From a two-person seating to a
large themed design, there are several seating options for
you to choose from.
Keep the basics in mind when choosing
seating. Keep the designs plain and dark coloured. This is
so the fabric doesn’t get reflected on the screen, which
distracts from the viewing experience. The popular luxe
fabrics at present include leather and suede, although you
are only limited by your imagination.
The chairs absorb sound and help to
minimise sound deflection too.
Contact WaveTrain to have custom seating designed for you that
is ultra-comfortable and designed for the home theatre.
Pay attention to the ceilings
The ceiling design has a lot to do with
a home theatre’s effectiveness. Unlike a normal room, where
brighter the ceiling the better, a home theatre is best
enjoyed with darker ceilings near the screen. This is
because light reflection isn’t a desirable trait and hampers
the viewing experience. If you already have the ceiling
made, then you can consider toning down the paint with a
neutral paint colour or a dark grey.
Achieve the perfect home theatre sound
The
audio of the home theatre affects the entire experience. As it
bounces around the room a lot, it loses much of its quality.
Preventing this bounce is key, and it can be done in various
ways –
•
Put up wall-to-wall carpeting as it absorbs much of
the sound-reducing bounce
•
Try installing soft materials like draperies on the
walls
•
Selecting a large room as opposed to a smaller one as
the latter confuses audio signals
•
Replace hard furniture and fixtures with softly
cushioned seating which helps absorb ambient audio.
Design your home theatre to resemble a cinema
Traditional commercial theatres have
sloped floors with tiered seating. Seated tiering in your
home theatre is quite simple, and all you need are joists of
2x8 boards set edge-to-edge. Try using half-inch interior
grade plywood for the top, and then cover it with a carpet.
The
thicker the carpet the better, as not only will it reduce ambient
sound, but will also give a plush look and feel to your home
theatre room.
Keeping these four tips in mind and you
can design and build the perfect home theatre room to
delight your guests and family.
