22 Modern Home Theater Design Ideas
It's not always clear what separates a "home theater" from a "living room". Is it the screen size? The audio setup? The overall thought put into the entire arrangement? Or does a home theater have to be a completely separate room from the living room altogether?
We believe a home theater is any room in which excessive care has been put into maximizing the quality of the viewing experience. It's a unique combination of visuals, audio, seating comfort, decor and design, blended into a space that's so enjoyable we never want to leave.
Home Theater Design is Interior Design
There are times when family members or housemates only factor in the audio-visual experience, without considering the overall aesthetics of the space. This results in a space that is great for watching movies in, but doesn't contribute anything to the rest of the house when it's not in use. Finding that perfect balance between top-notch audio/visuals and a clean, welcoming environment is the key to the perfect home theater design.
Just like any other room in the house, overall aesthetics contribute to the comfort of the space as much as the functionality of the space when it's in use. From seating to lighting to architectural accents, the primary goal should of any home theater design should be to inspire comfort and awe while minimizing distractions. By doing these three things, your design will create the ultimate viewing experience for you, your family, and your guests.
