How do I get started with my media room?
Depending on where you have your media room in mind, there are many options. Whatever the space, in most cases you will need to purchase a projector and a screen.
In addition, the room where your media room will be located should not be bothered by annoying background noises that can disturb you when you are watching a movie. It may therefore be necessary to insulate the room well in advance. Another aspect that deserves the necessary attention is the lighting in the room. When you watch a film, the lighting should be kept to a minimum, but before and after the film it is nice that you have good lighting in the room.
You can think of spots with a dimming function in the ceiling and nice lighting on the wall. The furniture is also very important: you naturally want to be able to enjoy your film comfortably. You can also think of a fridge for some drinks or even a small bar. Is the space a bit too small for a projector? Then choose a nice large flat television screen. Whether you opt for a projector or a TV: a good sound system and DVD player are of course also indispensable!
What color is best for my media room walls?
Wallpaper with all kinds of motifs is definitely not recommended for a media room. It is best to choose a dark and even color. Dark walls absorb light the best and therefore provide the least distraction when you’re watching a movie. Before you or a painter starts working with a paint roller, you should of course consider whether the wall also needs to be insulated.
Another option is to opt for an insulating covering, so that you no longer have to paint the wall. In that case, keep in mind that the acoustics in the room itself remain good! Are you unsure about the choice of color and possible insulation, especially if it concerns a large room? Find a professional via Interior A to Z who can advise and help you!
What kind of floor should I install in my media room?
The type of floor you install in your media room depends on the arrangement of your cinema furniture. If you opt for a grandstand setup, it is best to choose a fabric floor covering. If the floor remains flat, a wooden floor or laminate floor can also be applied.
For the best acoustic effect, it is recommended to lay down a fabric floor covering. You could opt for the same type of material if you are also going to upholster the walls. But of course it remains a matter of taste; you are the one who determines the final appearance of your media room!
What kind of technical equipment do I need for my media room?
A good media room is of course equipped with the most modern home cinema set. We have just given you some more tips on how to handle the equipment in space. Purchasing equipment and furniture is generally the most expensive part of setting up a media room. So make a good budget in advance so that you know exactly how much you will have to pay for the furnishing and decoration.
With your budget, also keep in mind that you are setting aside some money for the future: equipment can break down at some point and you will have to buy new ones. However, it is often the case that with some additional payment you can take out a very long warranty period. In the case of equipment for your media room, this is certainly recommended; this extra expense can come in handy at some point.
Are there any more specific tips for furnishing a media room?
The furniture is something that you obviously have to pay the necessary attention to. First, you need to know approximately how many chairs you think you will need. You can opt for real cinema seats (including the holder for your drink!), but maybe ‘normal’ comfortable seats will suffice for you too. Furthermore, as already mentioned, you have to think very carefully about the right lighting for the room.
What is also recommended is to take a remote control for dimming your lighting. It is very annoying that first the light has to be dimmed and then you have to walk to your seat in the dark… The cinema screen is the most important, but you can of course choose to brighten up the room a bit further by means of movie posters or beautiful photos that have something to do with movies or movie stars. What can also come in handy is a cabinet or shelves on which you can store all your DVDs. And don’t forget a closet or a small space where you can put the important equipment. Do not forget about good ease of use!
Finally, you can of course opt for a bar: you can then serve drinks to your family and other guests. And to top it off, of course, you have to provide the popcorn and then the movie can really start!
What styles are there when it comes to furnishing a media room?
you know that a media room can have a very elegant and chic look. ‘Real’ cinemas can therefore have a very diverse design and style, so you can of course choose the style for your media room yourself. To help you on your way, we have listed some important styles for you.
The modern media room:
A modern-style media room may be most like the movie theater as you know it. A businesslike and sleek design where the focus is really on the film itself. But that does not mean that you can of course give it your own twist. Beautiful sleek furniture and design lighting can give a very personal twist to your media room.
The industrial-style media room:
An industrial-style media room is very suitable for people who like a more rugged interior . Opt for an appearance with brick walls, some robust lamps and nice solid chairs and it’s as if you have transformed a beautiful old factory hall into a cinema!

Perhaps the coziest is a country – style media room. Very suitable for a family! In smaller home theaters, this style can come in very handy. In this case, it does not hurt at all to opt for somewhat lighter upholstery on your chairs.
