If you’re considering a home theater, here are a few things to consider.

Theater Location within Your Home

First, you’ll want to identify where the theater will be located. The size of the room will directly affect the audio and video components you’ll need. Additional factors to consider include:

• Amount of ambient light within the room
• The type of wall construction
• Whether the room is carpeted or not
• New construction or a remodel project

Which Integrator You Work With

When considering how to design your home theater, it’s important to remember that it’s about more than simply picking out the biggest screen and the most comfortable seating. Home theater design is really about creating a space in your Henderson, NV home where you can relax and enjoy the latest movies, sports and music. Whether you’re alone or with your family and friends the space should recreate the experience of a commercial theater in your house. Take a look at some of the things you should watch out for when planning your ideal home theater integration project.

Seating is Key

Home theater design is all about getting the most out of your equipment, no matter the size of your space. An often overlooked aspect of planning is actually one of the most important first steps: selecting seating. Do you want a big comfy couch? That may make family time more special, but it won’t serve your theater very well. Want a whole bunch of space between your chairs? The placement will drastically affect your viewing angle and the size of your screen. And those high-backed leather recliners? Those can hamper the effect of your surround sound system and reflect light back at the screen.

You see, what you choose to do with your seating is not just an afterthought – it should be part of the design process from day one!

Your Screen Makes a Big Difference

Crafting the perfect home theater design can be a daunting task, whether it’s an upgrade to an existing room or a new construction project. It is important to plan out every detail in advance to ensure high-performance audio and video.  

Fusion can create a design that brings the perfect movie-watching experience into your home. With an integrator guiding you through the following steps, you’ll get a custom home theater you can show off to the entire neighborhood. 

1.       Pick Out the Perfect Screen

Special considerations need to be taken when deciding which brand, size or type of screen you want to use in your theater. Will there be natural light filtering into the room? A grey screen like the Stewart Filmscreen FireHawk can deflect unwanted light while providing high-quality images.

Do you want the screen to be viewed from every corner of the room or only from seats in the center of the room? This will affect how wide a viewing cone you want your theater’s screen to have. Always make sure your space is large enough to accommodate the screen you choose.
