Have you ever dreamt of having the full movie theatre experience in the comfort of your own home? If you are a big movie fan, then surely you would enjoy watching all your favourite movies on a big screen while also being at home. Most people think it is close to impossible to recreate the experience especially if you are doing it on a budget and you are not a celebrity with a large mansion at your disposal. However, that does not have to be the case. As long as you have a spare room, an attic or a basement, you can easily fit all the necessary things a movie theatre should have.

Here at We Buy Any House, we have made the ultimate guide for your movie room creation, including anything from picking the best sound system to finding the comfiest furniture.

1.     Choose and Place Your Seating

One of the most essential parts of the cinema experience is definitely the seating. What you would expect from a home movie theatre is comfort since you are the one in charge of picking the sofas. You could go for very cinema like recliner chairs or opt for a more comfy sofa look. Something that is important to incorporate is rows which will instantly make you feel like you are in the movie theatre. If you do not have much space, two rows are more than enough to give you that experience you are after. Another benefit is that you can invite some friends over and you can all enjoy a movie with a good screen viewing experience. Adding extra lounge chairs or bean bags could really spruce up the place as well.

2.     Incorporate Soft Carpets

Something that is strongly associated with the cinema is the soft and thick carpeting. Adding that to your movie room will really complete the look and feel of an authentic cinema experience. What’s more, thick carpets are normally incorporated in order to improve the sounding system, however, that is often overlooked. It serves as a sound dampening which keeps any noise from going out and disturbing others.

3.     Install Blinds

Keeping natural light from coming inside your movie theatre is probably rule number one. There is a reason why cinemas tend to be almost pitch black and that is because then you can fully see and immerse yourself into the movie. Any reflection can be rather frustrating when you are trying to watch something and especially if there is a dark scene on, it could be even difficult to see anything. That is why having thick, blackout curtains or blinds for your home movie theatre is a must.

4.     Excellent Sound System

A vital part of enhancing your in home cinema experience is installing an excellent sound system. The sound effects movies have these days can be really immersive and add a lot of value to the overall experience. Make sure that you have speakers placed in strategic locations around the room so that they are not too loud but not too quiet as well. That will ensure you have sound waves hitting you from different angles and delivering a high-quality sound effect.

5.     Choose Your Screen

Choosing the right screen has a lot to do with personal preferences. Whether you are more attracted to old school projector screen or a smart TV, it is important to make sure that it will offer you a good quality image. Projectors are normally the more inexpensive choice of the two but that does not mean that you won’t be able to have that HD movie experience. The benefit of having a smart TV is that you can have easier access to anything you want while also getting great resolution and image quality. Choosing either one of these options should still raise the question of what size is ideal for the space you have.

6.     Personalise Your Movie Theatre

After you have completed all the necessary things for your in home movie room, it is time to make it your own by decorating and adding all the things you would want in your movie theatre. Whether that is a bar in the back, a popcorn machine, candy station, movie posters or loads of blankets and pillows, it is completely up to you. At the end of the day, it is your own home and there wouldn’t be a better time to make the movie theatre of your dreams.

If you have a spare room you wondered what to do with it, then look no further and start planning the perfect home movie theatre today so that you can enjoy endless cinema nights with loved ones from the comfort of your own house.
