Now that lockdowns have become even more strict in New Zealand, Kiwis are left with no other choice but to stay at home. People everywhere had to get creative and think of ways to keep themselves from getting bored and still live as normally as possible. Some got into gardening, others decided to learn how to bake, while some had the greatest idea ever to create a home theatre.
Back in the day, home theatres were only a thing of extremely wealthy people with more extensive than normal spaces in their houses to have a big screen and seats and create the perfect theatre at home. It used to be an extravagance, but with all the options that have made the technology, accessories, and furniture more affordable and accessible, everybody can have and create their own home theatre.
Your home theatre does not have to be a separate room. It can simply be your living room or your bedroom. However, if you decide to have it in a different room, then that is also okay. Remember that a home theatre requires a number of things like your preferred high definition TV or screen, soundbars, or other types of speakers, the perfect seats like bean bags, and some would even add insulation for better sound quality.
When you choose a space, remember that the ideal distance of your bean bags from your screen is at least 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen’s diagonal length. Also, consider the number of people that you intend to have in your home theatre. This will help you decide the type of seats to get and the space you need to allot.
One of the most significant differences you can do to your home when you add a home theatre is soundproofing and adding insulation. Having the best speakers and TV is fantastic, but imagine watching a fight scene with explosions and gunshots, then suddenly everything on your table starts to shake and fall. This can be avoided when you insulate your home theatre as the sound will be absorbed by the insulation you intend to put on your walls and floor.
Soundproofing your home theatre will also mean peace for the rest of the household. If you have a room that you have decided to convert into a home theatre, this will feel like a completely different element in your house. By soundproofing your home theatre, you trap the vibration and the sounds inside the room and avoid disrupting the rest of the family.
There are a lot of specs to look at when choosing a screen or a TV for your home theatre. What is your budget, and how big is the space? You can buy a 100-inch TV, but putting it in a small area would not be the best idea. Let’s make it simpler. OLED, LED, UHD, 4K, 40 inches, 100 inches, and it goes on. This goes the same with audio equipment. Some still go with a wires surround sound system, but the 21st century has given birth to a more straightforward and less complicated system: soundbars and Bluetooth speakers!
The video and audio equipment are the two things that define the quality of viewing in a home theatre. Before you pick your tech out, do not forget to consider the size of your space and your budget. A home theatre does not mean spending your life savings. You just have to be smart and innovative.
Last but certainly not least! The seats you will decide to put into your home theatre can make or break your plans. A great movie is best enjoyed when you have a comfortable chair that supports your body as you relax.
