For those of us lucky enough to have a home theatre room, the benefits speak for themselves. You get private viewing, relaxing space and the perfect wind-down opportunity \u2013 all in the one room. If that doesn\u2019t sound appealing to you, we don\u2019t know what will.<\/p>\n
So if you\u2019re thinking about creating your own audio-visual paradise, our advice is: go for it! But don\u2019t rush \u2013 there is a bit of a trick to setting up the best home theatre. That\u2019s why we have put together a little guide on how to setup a home theatre room. Armed with these tips, your next home theatre project will yield impressive results!<\/p>\n
Everyone has their own views on what makes the best seat in the house. For example, when you walk into a cinema with your friends, everyone seems to veer off in different directions. Some like to get up close to the screen, others prefer a comfortable distance, and some like to be right in the middle. But when you setup a home theatre room, you don\u2019t have the luxury of auditorium-style seating. That means you have to position your couch the perfect distance from the TV. And that sounds a lot easier than it is. But luckily, maths has come to the rescue! Simply take a measurement from the top right-hand corner of your screen to the bottom left-hand corner. Then, multiply that by 2. There you have it: the optimal viewing distance. And, of course, feel free to tweak it a bit.<\/p>\n
Cinemas thrive in the darkness, and so does TV viewing in general; the contrast seems more vivid and the definition is fantastic. So how do you replicate that in a room with a few windows? People often ask us how to setup a home theatre room to avoid glare. Our advice is to utilise your angles to avoid direct sunlight or reflected artificial light. Of course, if you want a sure-fire solution, you can always opt for a curved TV. But remember: they\u2019re a bit more expensive.<\/p>\n
If you anything like most homeowners, the home theatre is actually a repurposed bedroom, rumpus room, or even garage. After all, not many people have the resources to get a purpose-built home theatre room. So naturally, it\u2019s all about working with the space you\u2019ve got. And that\u2019s actually a lot easier than it seems. For example, instead of selecting a series of large bulky speakers for your home theatre, you can get the sleeker, more streamlined soundbar-style speakers. These are stacked vertically and they slot in perfectly just about anywhere!<\/p>\n
That leads us into our next point: get creative with your space! Home theatre rooms are all about you, so don\u2019t hold back. Space efficiency and creativity go hand in hand, and it\u2019s often the little things that make the biggest difference. Like, for example, finding surround sound speakers that fit well into your existing shelves.<\/p>\n
So we\u2019ve spoken about angling your TV, but what about angling your couch? Well, as a general rule, you should avoid it. Angling your couch will mean that your neck has to make up the difference, and that\u2019s not\u00a0comfortable. Instead, you should position your couch directly facing your screen. Trust us, it will make a world of difference!<\/p>\n
