As people trade in the experience of actually going to the movie theater for streaming them at home, installing a home theater makes sense. It gives you the ability to see all of your favorite movies, television shows, and live sports on your very own big screen. Since it’s a substantial remodeling project, though, it’s important to consider the following advice.

Home Theater Installation Recommendations

1. Control the Lighting

While too much light ruins the effectiveness of the home theater projector, you also don’t want to be sitting in complete darkness, so it’s important to find the right balance. The first thing to address is ambient light coming from outside the theater. It’s best to choose a location that has minimal light, such as a basement, but if that’s not possible, use blackout curtains and add a seal around any doors to block all light. Next, install recessed lighting with a dimmer inside to find that perfect level.

2. Maximize the Sound

Ideal sound with a booming bass is critical, and it starts with keeping out unwanted noise. This can be done by installing a second layer of drywall or sound-reducing wallboards and adding solid doors for soundproofing. Next, you’ll need to install home theater speakers. These sound systems are a step up from typical home audio equipment, and they provide amplified surround sound with a deep bass that delivers a rich, crystal clear audio.

3. Provide Perfect Seating

Beyond simply finding the most comfortable chairs to fill the theater, it’s also important to be conscious of their placement. Keep the first row far back enough to where viewers don’t have to strain their neck to look at the screen, and their eyes won’t be strained by being too close. For a truly remarkable experience, it’s also important to not block anyone’s view. Even something as modest a six-inch rise in height between rows helps ensure that everyone can see the screen clearly from every angle.
