How to Make Your Living Room an Entertainment Epicenter

LAST UPDATED:


Dreaming of a home theater but lack the space in your home? You don’t need an extra room or basement to bring your luxe home theater dreams to life. Just look to your living room. With these tips and updates, you can transform your living space into an entertainment epicenter for the entire family.

Blackout Curtains

Custom drapes can make a fabulous first impression in any living space, but the right type of curtains and drapes can make all of the difference — especially when putting together a home theater. Practical and stylish, Roman shades complement a wide range of different home aesthetics. They can be customized with a variety of fabrics and can be paired with a blackout lining to give your living space the ultimate home theater feel, keeping light out when it is movie time.

Speaker Stands

Arguably one of the best things about going to the movies is the theater-quality surround sound. Bring that experience to your living room with a high-quality speaker system. To ensure that you have the best sounding movie experience at home, be sure to use speaker stands and speaker mounts for your speaker system. A properly installed speaker system will actually boost the sound of your favorite movie, television show or playlist.

Plush Pillows

No home theater is complete without a few oversized pillows to snuggle up to. Not only will these plush pillows come in handy during your next weekend Netflix binge, stylish, oversized pillows can amp up your interior decor from season to season. Toss a few pillows onto your sofa, loveseat or favorite chair, and keep a selection of extra pillows stored in a chic wire basket for when you have guests over and need a couple extra pillows to pass around.

Dimming Lights

Different lighting styles can set the tone and mood throughout your home. Today, there are more lighting options to choose from than ever before, many of which are easily customizable and easy to operate as well. Philips Hue, for example, offers a series of different lighting options, all of which can be customized and controlled directly from your favorite device. In fact, you can make your home theater experience an immersive one by linking up the Hue Entertainment lighting system to whatever you are watching on the big screen. Think of this high-tech lighting system as a special effect. The lighting in your home can match what is happening on the screen, seamlessly complementing the cinematography of whatever you and your family are watching together. Hue Entertainment is also compatible with audio and gaming content.

Dark Paint

Give your living room the ultimate theater vibe with a fresh coat of paint. Dark colors such as navy blue or burgundy are both great options. Dark colors are optional because the light won’t reflect back to the screen. Additionally, when choosing your living room paint colors, keep in mind that gloss, semi-gloss and satin-finish paints can create glares. Rather, opt for a flat, no-glare paint color for the living space. And when choosing your color for the living room walls and the living room ceiling, DIY experts recommend choosing a paint color that will not distract from the screen.

With these tips and tricks your living room will be movie-ready in no time. Pass the popcorn.
