Going to movie theatres is one of
the ultimate forms of entertainment. But given the current situation and our
busy schedule, the movie-going experience isn’t what it used to be. These days,
people would rather prefer to watch their favorite movies on an online
streaming platform. However, that is no reason to ignore your entertainment
needs. You could instead build the perfect home theatre room within your
budget. Know that a home theatre
system isn’t just a couch and a television, it is a balanced
combination of various equipment and aesthetics. Here are a few tips to do just
that.
●
Find a dedicated space
In order to have a wholesome
experience, it is essential to find a space in the house that is kind of
isolated from the rest of it. When we say isolated, we mean that it shouldn’t
mingle with the daily household affairs. The room needs to be big enough to
accommodate all your needs. The one other thing that you need to keep in mind
is that the room you choose needs to be exposed to the least amount of natural
light. It is an excellent way of controlling the ambient light without having
to worry much about the home theatre price.
●
Don’t buy all the things at once
If you buy all the equipment
at once, it leaves you very little space for improvisation. Understanding the
equipment you need is vital. If your room is small, a high-quality 2.1 speaker should suffice. But if your room is big, you
should opt for the home theatre, 5.1 speakers. If you are worried about things
going over budget, an easy tip would be to not compromise on the quality and
price of the important components and then buy cheaper variants of the
non-essential things.
●
Control ambient light and sound
A home theatre should resemble
a movie theatre. And in order to do that, you need to control the ambient light
and sound. Use light-blocking curtains and
projectors that have highly luminous bulbs to ensure that the screen glows
brighter. Or you can use dark paint for the walls and ceilings. And to control
the ambient sound, you need to soundproof the room.
●
Surround sound system
If the home theatre room is
small, a basic tower home theatre will do the trick. However, if your room is
big, you may have to invest in some additional speakers.
●
Plan the seating properly
The viewing experience in a
home theatre should be a comfortable one. Everyone should be seated at the
right distance and their view shouldn’t be blocked at any point in time. The
right distance from the screen should be determined based on the size of the
room. And as far as the blocking of the view is concerned, the simple solution
to this is to elevate the seat in the back.
●
Keep it simple
Everybody wants their home theatre system to look unique.
The best advice for this would be to avoid the temptation of over-accessorizing
it. Keep it simple and let your sleek sound and video system do the talking.
The viewing experience will definitely speak for itself. And yes, if you want
to mount some posters on the wall, do it on the wall behind the viewers and not
near the screen.
Taking care of all the equipment
is just as important as purchasing it. One weak link is enough to bring down
the performance of the entire system.
