Turning a Room Into a Movie Theater

Observe the amount of space you have in the room you want to turn into a movie theater. Take note of the size of your television as well as the seating you plan to place in the room. Place individual recliners or separate love seats in aligned rows in the room.

Paint your theater room a dark color, using dark reds, blues and even grays. If you are using a projector screen, using dark wall colors will help to heighten colors on the screen while reducing the amount of reflections you may see.

Mount and hang a projector screen in your movie theater room to save space or to have more room for additional seating.

Use room-darkening and light-blocking shades on all of the windows in your movie theater, keeping all natural light out to allow you to adjust the atmosphere as you see fit.

Hang movie posters and photos of famous actors and actresses on the walls of your movie theater. Create a bulletin board with old collected movie tickets of past films you have watched in theaters.
