To mimic a true concession stand, use glass-panel cabinets, a freestanding popcorn maker and soda fountain machine. If you’re opting for a larger investment, go with a full-fledged built-in home bar, complete with your favorite drinks and barware. On a small scale, you can add a table or bar cabinet with a mini fridge, candy drawer and microwave.

No true home movie theater can be without popcorn, but adding your own concession stand is an easy way to ensure it's always nearby. Hang some deep-colored velvet curtains on one or more walls for the luxurious look that’s synonymous with home theaters, and add some uplights pointed at the walls for subtle yet stunning lighting. If you have a favorite genre of films, find a couple of posters from your top movies and highlight them in simple frames. Do you want to have a general cinematic feel? Then pick wall decor that is representative of filmmaking, like an oversized film reel and clapperboard. What type of home theater decor should I add? Start by deciding on an overall theme to use for your home theater design. Follow these tips to put your home theater ideas into action. If you're serious about creating your own media room, take the time to research the best seating and audiovisual equipment. Although it might seem like a splurge, watching the newest blockbuster with surround sound and theater seating from the comfort of your own home will really enhance your movie-watching experience. It has room to expand and add other components as well, such as a DVD player or cable box.For the movie buff, having a home theater room is a must. The component space to the left of the television is home to the receiver (more on that selection process here).

Installing them is as simple as turning a screw to tighten them against the panel. These are all recessed in the wall/ceiling and sit flush against the drywall. Speakers are in the ceiling (surround sound ‘height’) and the rear wall (surround sound ‘rear’). Super simple! Removing and reattaching is a breeze. The cover attaches with about 8-10 small magnets on the perimeter of the speaker. Covers can be painted to match any color, but they were pretty darn close out of the box, so we didn’t need to paint. The in-wall surround sound speakers (more on how we selected those here) fit seamlessly into the wall cavity. Wire for the speakers runs through the faux coffered ceiling, so everything is hidden there too.

The TV ‘floats’ in the recesses of the media wall, especially with dimmed lights. We installed a 65″ smart television to fit into the recessed space and hid the wireless internet access point and the wires themselves. Although we did wire for an electric fireplace, we haven’t purchased one yet. The design for the media wall turned out pretty similar to the final product, with one omission – the fireplace. We utilized simple construction to build the media unit, including 2×4 studs (frame), drywall (finished surface), some plywood (component shelves), and trim boards.

With its simple modern lines, recessed spaces for the tv, speakers, and components, and the two-tone gray color scheme, it blends form and function perfectly in the space. Just like most theater rooms, the overall design centers around the media wall. Our basement area is finally shaping up to its fullest potential: hang out and family central! And me? Well, I am just over here thinking about all the quiet that will exist on our main floor with all-the-things ‘moving’ to the basement! The kids are planning parties and get togethers to hang out with friends.
