When you hear the term \u201cmedia room\u201d, you may think of a very large space with a gigantic television mounted on the wall in front of rows of reclining-style seats. What you are picturing is actually a home theater. A media room can be so much more. It\u2019s a space where family and friends gather to not only watch television but also play games or simply hang out. It can be a separate room in your house or it can be designed to fit in an existing space.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the best way to design a media room to make the most of your available space.<\/p>\n

The Right Room for Your Media Room<\/h2>\n

It might be a spare bedroom, a basement, or even an upstairs landing. The best location would be one that\u2019s removed from the main areas of the house, so it won\u2019t be noisy. You need to consider how much light the room gets and if it will cause a glare on the television, and if so, you\u2019ll need to purchase blackout curtains. If you are repainting, you might want to consider a darker color to minimize light reflection, and you should avoid any gloss or semi-gloss paint. The shape of the room, square or rectangular, will impact the acoustics and carpeting will help muffle ambient noise, but if you don\u2019t have a carpet, an area rug can serve the same purpose.<\/p>\n

Screen Size<\/h2>\n

It may be tempting to buy the biggest TV you can afford, but you need to take the room\u2019s dimensions into consideration. In order to calculate the right size, measure the distance from your seating area to where the television will be. Divide that number in half to get the size of the TV<\/a> that will best fit the size of the room.<\/p>\n

Now Hear This<\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re watching television or listening to music, you\u2019re going to want it to sound great. Consider the least obtrusive spots to put the speakers<\/a> without sacrificing the audio quality. You may want to consider installing them in the ceiling if possible.<\/p>\n

Take a Seat<\/h2>\n

Watching sports or movies will likely be a common pastime in your media room, so you want to make sure you have the right furniture to fit your needs.\u00a0 Do you need a sofa, loveseat or recliners? If you are planning to purchase new furniture, be sure to measure the room prior to heading out to your favorite furniture store to ensure the items will fit. And don\u2019t forget to add space for walking around and make sure your room isn\u2019t too crowded.<\/p>\n

Media Room Snack Station<\/h2>\n

When you are entertaining, you\u2019ll find it helpful to have drinks and snacks handy, so you don\u2019t have to constantly run to the kitchen to get what you need. A small dorm-size fridge may be a nice addition to your space. Having a place to put your snacks so you and your guests can easily access them from the room will be an important part of your planning.<\/p>\n

Out of Sight<\/h2>\n

Leaving cable boxes, video game controllers, and all those wires in sight will take away room the sleek look of your media room. You\u2019ll want to have cabinets designed to keep all the electronics you\u2019ll need out of sight, yet still accessible.<\/p>\n
