Why You Need a Home Cinema Room in Your Property

In the digital age that we currently live in, there are many trends that are becoming more commonplace in homes across the UK.

From smart home automation to multiroom entertainment, our houses are becoming hubs of technology that are helping to make our lives easier.

Something that is becoming more popular are home cinema rooms.

These are being spotted throughout the country more and more, especially in high end properties, with one luxury designer reporting over 80% of their homes now contain a media room.

But why are these rooms becoming so popular? And how would one benefit you?

Let’s take a look.

What Does a Home Media Room Contain?

A media room is a space in your home dedicated to entertainment.

Whether it’s watching movies, playing video games, or watching sport, these rooms are designed to be the perfect environment to lose yourself in the big screen.

But what do they normally contain? Well, here are five essentials:

• Audio & Video Equipment – The focal point of these rooms is a large-screen TV or a space that can be projected on. This is often high resolution and gives off a great picture. This will be combined with a state-of-the-art speaker system to provide a stunning all-round experience for your eyes and ears.

• Seating – Of course, when you’re watching your movies or sports, you want to be comfortable. You may be spending hours sat watching a long movie, so adding features such as comfortable sofas, individual armchairs, or even something fun like beanbags is a vital part of your home media room.

• Lighting – Another vital aspect of the cinema room environment is lighting. As takes place in a traditional cinema, you will want lights that dim right down so there are no distractions when the action begins. If you can have lighting you can alter with a remote or smart home automation system then this is perfect.

• Soundproofing – Things can get loud inside a cinema room, so adding some soundproofing is a great way of stopping sound leaking out into the rest of your property. It’s also a great way to make sure no sound makes it way in so there is nothing to distract you from the movie or game you are currently watching.

• Accessories – The final piece of the jigsaw are the accessories. These are where you can make the home cinema room your own, adding posters of your favourite films and decorating it how you would like. Don’t forget to add games consoles if you like to play and also plenty of storage so you can keep things tucked away and looking clean.

So, now you know what goes into these rooms, just what are the benefits that you will gain from installing a home media room?

5 Key Benefits of Owning a Home Cinema Room

A Great Place for Entertainment

The first benefit is that by installing a home media room, you get a place in your home that is dedicated to entertainment.

Everything about it, from the size of the screen and the audio technology that is hooked up to it, to the seating and décor is all done with entertainment in mind.

After a long day at work or at school, being able to head to your home cinema room and watch a film with your feet up can be a welcome break.

Despite the room being in your home, it can feel like you’ve got away and that you’re actually having a night out at the cinema which is a great feeling.

It’s a Convenient Way to Be at the Cinema

People love going to the cinema, so why not have one in your home?

With a media room, you don’t have to deal with people stepping in front of you as they head to their seats, or long queues to pick up a snack.

Your very own cinema is only ever a few minutes away and you can pause the film and grab a snack whenever you would like.

Also, the average ticket price for the cinema is the highest it has been at any point since the turn of the millennium, at £7.69 in 2021, so you can also save yourself a good bit of money by opting to stay at home.

You Can Make It Your Own

We’ve touched on how you can add your own accessories earlier in this blog, but this also goes down as a really great benefit.

No matter what your unique styles and preferences, you can use these to create the ideal cinema room for you.

Everything from the colour scheme, seating, décor, accessories, and more can be changed and adjusted to suit you.

You can also choose your preferences when it comes to the technology involved in your room. From the size of the screen to the speaker system and beyond.

This is your personal room so you can do with it what you please.

Great for Family Bonding and Socialising

A home cinema room provides a great place for you to enjoy some time with your loved ones.

Whether you gather the family to watch a new film, or get your friends over to watch the match, this is a great place to get together and enjoy some quality time.

If there are special events coming up, then it’s also a great opportunity to invite people over and the perfect place to hold an event.

A media room is a great place you can connect with your loved ones and create memories together and can be the perfect focal point for getting people together and enjoying a spot of entertainment.

Increased Home Value

If you ever decide to sell your home, having a home cinema room to advertise is a great selling point.

Not only that, but if you have top-of-the-range technology installed that can be showcased during a viewing, this is perfect for adding value to the property.

It is thought a cinema room can add 65% of it’s value onto your home straight away, and if it is well designed and maintained this figure can be higher.

If you have a film buff come for a viewing and they see such a room, they’re sure to be intrigued and this is a great selling point to get interest in your home and get some good potential offers.
