Basements are wonderful spaces that can be used to serve countless purposes—including basics like simple storage or laundry to recreation rooms and personal suites. Did you know you could turn your basement into your own personal movie theater?
A movie theater basement renovation is a unique project that will not only make great use of your basement but give you a fun space in the home for your entire family to enjoy. Having a movie theater basement is perfect for movie-lovers to watch their favorite flick any time.
HB Home Services provides basement renovation services in Northern Virginia. As experts, we know all the elements needed to make a great home theater. Here’s what every home theater must have:
1. Big Television/Projector & Speakers
The focal point arguably the most important part of your home theater is what you use to watch movies! When making your theater, make sure you choose a high-definition, big-screen television with a beautiful display that will put you right at the center of the movie. Or, if you have more traditional tastes, opt for a projector and screen on which to show your films. Don’t forget the speakers! Invest in excellent speakers that will really capture all the action on the screen.
2. Comfortable Furniture
Having the most comfortable arm chairs and other furniture is key for your home theater. You can place a plush couch in the room, perfect for seating more than one person comfortable. Or, to truly capture the essence of going to the movies, install reclining arm chairs with cupholders. Install enough furniture to seat a few people for the next time you want to host a movie night for friends and family.
3. Appropriate Lighting
Your home theater’s lighting can make or break your movie-watching experience. To closely mimic the feel of a public theater, opt for lights with a dimming feature. Have the lights on a brighter setting while everyone is still getting settled before the movie, then lower the lights or turn them off completely as the movie starts. To create truly unique lighting effects, you can install colored bulbs or lights with the ability to change color.
4. Plush Carpet
You may not picture that your flooring is an important part of your home theater, but having the right floor underfoot can contribute to your comfort while watching movies. For a home theater, install comfortable, plush carpet. Although you and your guests will most likely not be sitting on the floor, carpet really pulls a room together and provides extra cushion under your toes.
5. Snack Station
No movie-watching session is complete without snacks! When completing your home theater renovation, create a designated snack session where you and your family can grab their favorite movie-food before the film starts. You can either set up your snack station with a table, or include a built-in wall shelf during your renovation. For a vintage feel, invest in a popcorn machine so you can provide hot, buttery popcorn every time you watch a movie.
