CHOICES TO CONSIDER
Starting with a blank canvas is overwhelming for some, but having a reliable guide to lead you through your home theater planning can simplify the process. After all, there are so many questions to consider!
- What screen size suits your room dimensions?
- Is a projector a better fit than a TV?
- Leather recliners or plush sofas?
Here’s where the expertise of a designer comes in handy because they'll navigate you through these decisions and ensure that you get a theater that fulfills your needs and considers your preferences.
LIGHTING AND BALANCE
A home theater designer will help you navigate the details of your design, including lighting. Did you know a movie-watching experience can be impacted by the glow in your room? Glare, shadows, or the wrong light levels can ruin a movie experience by causing distraction. However, with the help of a seasoned designer like Prodigy AV, you can achieve the perfect balance of light and dark to create the experience you want and rival any local cinema.
SOUNDSCAPING
While the visuals may be the first thing you notice, the sound grounds your movie-watching experience. But when sound echoes, muffles, or loses its timing, it can quickly pull you out of the excitement of the scene. A home theater designer positions speakers, helps you choose appropriate sound-absorbing materials, and explains the importance of your seating arrangement to achieve a great sound.
PERSONALIZE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
While the basics of any home theater or media room are the same, every homeowner may have unique uses or preferences in mind. For instance, are you an avid gamer, sports enthusiast, or music lover? If so, you may need a different setup to enjoy those types of entertainment. Communicate these potential uses to your designer because it may change their recommendations for technology, seating, audio, or screen types.
So, when you decide it’s time to chase your Instagram dreams, remember to turn to an expert for guidance. Home theater designers know that many components go into creating the perfect home theater room experience, and no one does it better—not even on YouTube! So, if you're in Nashville, TN, and considering a new home theater, consider it a collaboration with the best of the best and contact us at Prodigy AV to schedule an initial consultation.
