Those who want to bring their home's personality to life and enjoy staying indoors can use a number of different entertainment options that are available on the market. More homeowners are adding luxurious home entertainment features that recreate the enjoyment of being at the movies or creating a better gaming experience for residents. When adding extra features to your custom home, there are a few different options to consider.

Sound Systems

The sound system is one of the most important features of home movie theatres or gaming rooms. This system directly influences the experience of watching movies or playing a video game. With a high-quality sound system installed, you can get lost in a film or a game with surround sound that allows you to hear every noise. Subwoofers and soundbar systems will provide a rich and crisp sound that offers a high level of clarity. Many different soundbars also include Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and HDMI to ensure you can connect it to different types of devices.

Premium Lighting

Instead of relying on floor lamps to illuminate your entertainment room, opt for installing LED or fibre optic cable lighting for added ambiance that will create a cozy environment. Fibre optic cable lighting can create the illusion of staring at the stars on your ceiling and will create a high-end style that completes the room. You can also choose to use certain colours of lights that contribute to the style of the room. Consider using endglow, sideglow, or ribbon cable in the space.

LED lighting can be used behind the movie screen to draw more attention to the feature for added glow that makes the screen the focal point of the room. The lights can even be installed on different steps that lead to the seating area to make it easy to find a place to sit.

Smartphone Capabilities

Instead of digging around for the remote control when you want to enjoy using your entertainment room, you can control the technology right from your phone with all the smartphone capabilities now available. You can enjoy checking your email or texting a friend in between fast forwarding through a movie or pausing a game without getting up to find the remote.

More people are also using their smartphone to replace universal remotes often used with the technology that is installed. New apps and hardware are also evolving at a faster rate, making it more efficient to control everything from your phone instead of with multiple factory remotes.

Acoustic Walls

Add extra appeal to your entertainment room with acoustic walls, which allow you to obtain better sound from your system whenever a game console is in use or the TV is on. This will bring out the life in the films or games you enjoy by preventing a distortion with the noise when the sound waves hit hard surfaces. Acoustic wall panels can be installed to absorb mid- and high-frequency sound waves to protect the quality of sound in the room and allow you to increase the clarity of your sound system.

Not only do the panels enhance your sound system, but they also contribute to the aesthetics of the room. There are a number of different colours and styles of panels that are available to contribute to the design of the home and allow the room to look luxurious. Images can also be scanned on the panels to create a visual on the walls that also works as added art in the home.

Visual Equipment

The visual equipment in entertainment rooms will determine how much the room feels like a movie theatre. Choose the right display for the home theatre, which can include a projector and screen combination in spaces where you can control the lighting. Flat panel televisions are also ideal with a 50 to 75-inch panel that is perfect for a large audience. You can enjoy getting lost in a film and viewing each detail on the big screen.

OLED is considered to be the new flat-panel television that has replaced plasma televisions and is impressive for its ability to generate its own light. This makes it capable of displaying a brighter screen that is crisp and has a high level of resolution.

Universal Remote

A universal remote is one of the most convenient devices to use in entertainment rooms by allowing you to have control over the game consoles, Blu-ray player, receiver, and audio system all in one place. You'll no longer have to juggle multiple remotes or struggle to find the right one to use (if you don't want to use your phone to do all this!).

When you want to enhance your entertainment experience in the comfort of your home, there are a number of different features available. The advanced tools and products will increase the functionality of the space while making it easier to stay home on the evenings and weekends when you want to relax.
