Designing the Perfect Media Room

Go Big or Go Home

Projectors and Screens: A larger display makes for better viewing. For an immersive experience, choose a 4K projector and a superior screen. 

Placement: For maximum comfort, make sure the screen is at eye level from your seating.

Surround Sound for Cinematic Audio

Sound Systems: A surround sound system with Dolby Atmos offers crisp audio which makes every scene come to life.

Acoustics: Add heavy curtains or soundproofing panels to keep the sound in and the interruptions out.

Comfort Is Key

Seating: Plush recliners, comfortable sectionals, and ample throw blankets and pillows are essentials for an inviting space.

Room Layout: Arrange seating so every spot offers a clear view of the screen for an equitable movie-watching experience.

Lighting That Sets the Mood

Dimmable Lights: Install smart lighting that allows you to adjust brightness levels.

Indirect Illumination: Use recessed lights or LED strips to prevent screen glare while keeping an inviting glow.
