Space And Sound - Home Theater Decor

All happy and satisfied with your new home theater "gear"? If it works out just perfect, meaning no strange buzzing noise occurs and the system you are so proud of looks lean and mean, then you still have something to work out by yourself: how to arrange a suitable décor so that the "wildest" sound combine with the visual placement of your new gadgets. If some vital steps aren't taken into consideration, the aesthetics of your room will have to suffer a great deal. However, the functionality of the home theater is to be kept in regard at all times and it comes definitely first.

Unless you are in the possession of a quite modern and luxurious home that can allow an also modern way of setting up the home theater décor, that is- having the speakers built in the walls - you will have to do up the home theater décor like everyone else: the speakers are to be arranged so that they obviously surround your perimeter, and have the sound coming to where you pleasantly relax, from all central directions: front, back and around the television( the floor speakers usually accompany the TV at its sides). The home theater décor can be improved if shelves are provided, along with a proper piece of furniture, or electronic equipment, or if put on the top of the speakers some interesting ornaments, wherever your imagination leads you, the home theater décor will look good, and sound good.

Home Theater Surround Sound Speaker

How you take advantage of the space you have, is a question of creativity, and it is well known that home theaters are bought primarily to entertain you. Consequently, the television is to be located in the center of the room, on a wall, or in front of it, put on the ground. The small speakers of the home theater should go on the top of the TV-set and some speakers should be divided evenly, at the left and the right of the screen. Naturally, the rest of the speakers should encompass the room, hung up on walls, on shelves, and to the sides of the seating area, where a subwoofer will be put also. Why is that? So that you could feel the vibrations of it when you're seated and when the intensity of the movie reaches a climax, in an action scene. How you place the speakers is vital to the crisp functionality of your home theater, using the rest of the location arrange a better décor.

We've dealt with space, now-Let There Not Be light! Indeed, to have an enviable home theater décor you have to maintain the room dark, and not have the space designed with things that are "dependent" of light such as plants, beautiful paintings that need to be otherwise admired, namely vivid colors. It is indicated that you use for the home theater décor stylish earthy hues, and have the number of those small ornaments kept as low as possible, because too many would diverge your attention and concentration from the movie. In addition to this, fray glass objects and -in general- breakable items are not recommended because the hopefully violent vibrations from the speakers might do just that. In order to add a sparkle of life to the room, you can use rugs and rustic carpets, and some images on the walls to some extent, so as not to clutter the room.

Finally, a little rehearsal: functionality is the most important feature of your home theater décor, and you should keep the home theater décor small and simple, having no fragile items in the same room you are going to entertain yourself. Also, try to design the space with the few methods mentioned above so as to give a splash of color to it, but you should bear in mind that simplicity and minimalism are the key to an ideal and very enjoyable home theater décor.
