Do you ever feel like there’s so little time in your life for enjoying some good old movie time in the cinema? Which is why we tend to watch movies at home more often. But we do miss that theatre atmosphere at home because the charm of watching a movie is not only in the fact that you are watching a movie that was just released, but in the whole setting- the seats, the popcorn, a drink, the company, the big screen, but also the fantastic sound. That’s why the feeling of watching a movie in a cinema can never be compared to watching a movie on a computer.
However, there is always a solution, because you have the opportunity to make a home theatre atmosphere at home. Here are some tips on how to do that…
1. Use pallets to make a chic home theatre
You have probably seen many suggestions on how you can use pallets and make wonderful pieces of furniture. Some of the best home theatre seating can be found on homeplusdeals.com if you feel DIY is too much for you.
But today we want to present you with a very creative and fun project for your home, which you can do yourself. Make a home theater out of pallets or use the pallets for furniture for the living room or yard.
This wonderful idea is inspired by luxury apartments that have rooms furnished and designed just for watching movies with friends and family. If you have a room in your home, now with the help of pallets you can transform it into your home cinema where you will spend good times with your loved ones.
Here’s what you need:
- pallets;
- grinder;
- drill and screws;
- white color;
- many pillows and mattresses
The procedure goes as follows…Start with light sanding, then paint the pallets white. Make the first part of your cinema by placing two on the wall. Arrange the rest in the following order: 6 pallets in the first layer, 4 pallets on the second, and 2 pallets on the last upper layer. Fix them when you are satisfied with the seating arrangement. Place the pillows and mattresses, attach the flat screen on the pallet to the wall and enjoy the movie!
2. Fix the connection for streaming the movie on your big screen
Now that you have the room setting arranged, you need to solve some technical issues, in order to contribute to the best possible viewing experience, and then gather the company, prepare popcorn, maybe some pizza, drinks, sit back and enjoy a new movie or a classic movie. But, before all that, here’s what you need to do in order to ensure watching is possible.
You need things like HDMI cables in order to connect audio and video in a high-quality way, and so that both the picture and the sound can be excellent. Without such cables, it would be much more difficult, and almost impossible, to have the full experience. These cables are needed for the transmission of digital audio-video signals and as such are used to connect all HD devices, televisions, receivers, and various home players, which can be a source for playing a movie in this case.
When you have taken care of the cables, their connection to the TV, and therefore the fact that the video and audio recording will be of high quality, it is time to move on to some other things.
3. TV holders
One of the best home cinema experiences can be realized when you project the movie you want on an empty wall via a projector. However, a projector is not something that every house has, but we have televisions for that. It’s a much better experience when the TV is on the wall, and for that, you need TV holders.
In this way, your television set is placed at the most suitable height for viewing, which also creates a nice feeling, because you do not have to lower or raise your head too much. In addition, TV holders are a great solution because they save space, so no chests of drawers or shelves are needed. But, in the case of a home cinema, holders come very handy due to the fact that you can move your TV to the sides. They come in various designs, static or hinged, for you to be able to position the screen the way you like.
4. Speaker mounts
There is no good movie experience without good sound. In this case, it means that sound is all around us, not just emitted by a computer or television. That’s why a home theatre needs a set of speakers that you will arrange in different parts of the room. As it is best to place them in the corners, at a certain height, you will need support for the speakers.
They are very easy to mount and install and all you need to do is to stretch the speaker cable to the place where the speaker bracket is installed and place it there. In this way, you adjust the exact height for sufficient sound acoustics, and the speaker brackets also save space, because your speakers will not be located on chests of drawers, on a table, or on the floor.
5. Set the lights
As in a real cinema, the importance of appropriate lighting should not be underestimated, as it contributes to the mood and the creation of the appropriate ambiance. If you buy and install smart lighting, you can wirelessly connect it to your TV.
That way, there will be no unsightly cables, and you will be able to match the lighting to the viewing experience. In particular, you will have full control over the intensity of the lighting, but also the color and temperature of the light itself, and at the same time, you can adjust it all to the movie, series, or television show you are watching.
