If you’re lucky enough to have a home cinema room, then you might as well make it the best you can with some fun and movie-enhancing extras. Whether you choose to relax with a romantic film during the evening or a family-friendly comedy, this room can be enjoyed by all. Once you have the basics in place, such as a projector or large screen and a selection of classic films or access to a streaming platform, you can bring things up a level and create a truly enjoyable cinematic experience.
To help you do just that, this blog will explain four ways that you can improve your home cinema room.
Popcorn machine
No good movie is complete without popcorn and snacks. So, why not install a popcorn machine in your home cinema room? Serve freshly baked popcorn for you and your friends, and it will feel like you’re at your local cinema, but in the comfort of your home. And, it doesn’t have to stop there. If you have a sweeter tooth, you could set up your own pick n mix station, just make sure you keep it topped up!
Surround sound
Having the perfect screen set up will be a wasted effort if you don’t have a good sound system. Invest in surround sound to increase drama, excitement and suspense while watching the film. By having speakers around the circumference of the room, if a sound is meant to come from behind you, then it can actually come from that speaker – making you feel like you’re part of the action.
Blankets and comfy seating
You need to be comfortable when watching your favourite film, so your seating arrangement is important. A good choice to go for is a leather recliner – so no more resting your feet on the chair in front – or a corner sofa. Complete with drink holders, you can snuggle up or perhaps you’ll be on the edge of your seat as you get stuck into a fascinating thriller. Also, stock up on fluffy blankets and plump cushions so you can truly sit back and relax.
Wall decorations
As well as the practical additions needed for your cinema room, you can also go all out and pay homage to movie history by decorating the room with a movie-related mural or wall prints. If you love Marvel, why not hire someone to decorate one wall with some of your favourite characters, or purchase some prints of classic movies such as Jaws, Pulp Fiction and The Godfather.
