Take the Lead

Like other home construction projects, the homeowner should lead decision-making during a home theater installation. For example, would you prefer a screen and projector or a big-screen TV? How will you decorate the space, and how many people do you plan to seat? Your design team will need to know these things before beginning to lay out the room.

If you’re unsure of how to make these decisions, be sure to ask your design team. They can provide measurements and recommendations to guide you toward options that make the most sense for your room. Experienced home theater designers will know what works well and what does not, so you can trust their guidance. 

Discuss Use Cases

When you meet with a home theater design team for the first time, discuss how you plan to use your entertainment space. Not all families choose to use a home theater solely for watching movies. As an example, some families enjoy video games on a big screen or use the room to host gatherings and parties. Design recommendations may shift depending on how you plan to use the space, so be sure to share this information so you get a space that will fulfill all of your entertainment needs.

Lighting

Did you know that lighting design can make or break your home theater experience? It’s true, and often an overlooked aspect of amateur home theater design. Proper lighting design can enhance viewing by reducing glare and improving screen visibility. An expert designer should be able to advise you on the appropriate placement and types of lighting needed to create a memorable movie-watching experience.

Audio

Audio quality can also impact the enjoyment of the movie-watching experience. For example, poor audio quality can result in echoes or distracting vibrations. However, proper speaker placement and acoustic treatments can enhance audio performance and elevate the immersive features of the movie.

The Latest Technology

Rely on your professional team to assist you in researching the latest technology options. An experienced team should have some reliable recommendations, saving you time researching. For example, if you prefer a particular video or sound feature, communicate that with your team to get precisely the experience you want.
