Integrating A Home Theater In Your Decor
February 18th, 2008 by admin
Buying a huge Plasma screen TV with surround sound system is a dream for many people. If your dream is coming true soon and you are investing in home theatre, it is time to think how you will incorporate it in your present decor.
Technically TVs and tapestries do not mix and speakers and settees are not the perfect combination, and should be ushered to the basement. But now that the stuff is arriving in to your living or family room, it might as well look good.
Placement
Decide on the appropriate placement of your home theater in the decor of your room. Choose the location wisely – the first wall as soon as you enter the house is not a good idea at all. You must be having something nice over there anyway – perhaps, a fireplace or mural – and don’t want to shift the focus.
Decide on the placement so that you can get it delivered and installed in the correct place from the start instead of initiating another squabble a few weeks from now. Ensure plenty of seating around the home theater and decorate accordingly.
Accessories
A home theater is definitely much more than just a beautiful flat screen. What about the receiver, DVD player, CD changer, Xbox and the other gizmos and gadgets? Buy an armoire or another form of cabinet to keep under the flat screen so at least all the other black and silver boxes are out of sight.
Cables
Home theatre decor rule number one should be that everything should be wireless now. Unfortunately, everything is not wireless yet, so buy cable caddies and cords before the new stuff arrives and try to tame them as much as possible before the area becomes wild with all kinds of wires spoiling the look of your precious Persian rug.
Warm Up the Look
By placing some nice plants around the home theater you will add life and warmth to your decor. Some framed art, flowers and candles may also work to soften up the place. Organizers and cubbies of any sort to house all the DVDs and other stuff which may be found lying around otherwise are always worth the money.
