A Multipurpose Home Entertainment Space with All the Technologies You Need for Movies, Media, and More

Make room for something more in your media room! In the past, home theaters and media rooms never mixed company. One was for watching movies and TV shows; the other was for listening to high-end music. Now, things are changing. More and more homeowners want a home entertainment space that provides all the above and more.

A customized media room design centers around all your entertainment needs: movies, music, games, and socializing. It caters to the sights, sounds, and sensations you love. It often includes a big-screen TV or projector and screen system, high-end surround sound, smart lighting, and even themed décor to give your room personality.

First Things First: The Sound System

When you think of a “media room,” the thought of a high-end sound system brings music to your ears. After all, what’s the point of designing a media room if you don’t have premium speakers? Speakers from Paradigm, Klipsch, and Golden Ear never disappoint! Listen to your favorite songs through them, and you’ll hear music the way it’s meant to be heard. Pure, unadulterated audio – just how the musicians intended.

While most media rooms use floor-standing, front-facing speakers to deliver impeccable audio, your multipurpose media room should have a surround-sound configuration – transforming it seamlessly into a home theater whenever you’d like. Then as you close your motorized shades and settle back in your theater seats, you’ll be immersed in audio that is all around you – making you feel like you’re in the movies.

 

Front and Center: An Amazing Display

Is it movie night? Gather your family or friends in your home entertainment space for a visual experience like no other. The latest 4K TVs (and projectors) deliver pictures that are vibrant in color and contrast with more than 8 million pixels and HDR technology to ensure a life-like display. Whether you want an 85” home theater TV from Sony, or you prefer a projector and screen system for a much larger display, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear images from end to end.

Maybe you want to hide your TV when you’re not using it. That’s possible too! Hidden TVs disappear into the walls, hide behind cabinets, and even transform into mirrors or artwork. When you’re not using your TV, press a button in your smart home tablet, and it vanishes from sight. So, your home theater can go from a private cinema to a common space in seconds.

 

Added Ambiance: Lighting and Shades

One of the most effective ways to make your multipurpose space look the part (a home theater, media room, or common area) is by adding smart lighting and motorized shades. Wall sconces, LED strip lighting, recessed lights, and fiberoptic ceiling lights transform your room when you touch a scene in your smart home tablet: “Movie Night, “Music Time,” or “Game Night.” Then, when the time comes, your lights, motorized shades, and other technologies adjust to create the look and feel you want.

For instance, if it’s movie night, tap an icon to lower the blackout shades, turn on the fiberoptic lighting, and start the show. For game night, one button tap turns up the lights, raises the shades, and starts playing your favorite playlist through the whole-home audio system. There are so many ways you can customize the lighting and the technologies in your media space.
