Motorized Shades
While many home theaters are purpose-built rooms with no windows by design, it’s not always the case, especially in Texas, where basements are uncommon. Some home theaters might also serve as multipurpose game and entertainment spaces. That means you might have windows. Plus, modern ultra-bright projectors and light-rejecting screens let you watch the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon in a partially lit room, so you can enjoy a bit of the outside light too.
But to manage natural light effectively, motorized shades or window treatments are essential. Light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout fabrics let you precisely manage light. Best yet, your motorized shades pair with home automation to set the lighting stage for any viewing, from that afternoon Cowboys game to movies to your kids video-gaming on the big screen.
Look Up at the Stars
Modern LED lighting creates a wealth of illumination options for your home theater. For example, you can create a starry effect in your theater with white LED lights against a black ceiling that rival the shopping emporiums in Las Vegas. Or, use color to accent your ceiling or backlight the screen for comfort for certain types of viewing. LED linear lighting and other styles allow for new options for path lighting to make it easy to navigate your space.
Manage it all with a lighting control system for one-touch control, and pair it with your home automation for complete command of AV, lights, temperature, and more with just a touch.
Immersive Surround Sound
One area that has seen a massive improvement over the past few years is multichannel surround sound. The Dolby Atmos format that first appeared in 2015 is the standard for all new home cinemas and makes a real difference in the audio experience. Dolby Atmos and similar formats like DTS:X create a three-dimensional sound experience with multiple overhead and surround speakers that draw you fully into the scene.
If you already have basic surround sound in your theater, upgrading with additional speakers, processors, and amplifiers will take your surround sound to the next level. And if you don’t, it’s a must for your new theater!
