When you read about home theater systems and how to improve the movie-watching experience, a lot of articles focus on the 4K visuals or surround sound. And while those aspects are incredibly important, there’s also an element of the theater that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves: the furniture. That’s why we’ve put together this guide for St. Petersburg, FL homeowners that goes over the most common types of furniture and how to choose the best styles for your theater.
Seating
Before we get into the specifics of what to look for in home theater seating, it’s important to consider the theme and style of your theater. The seating for a grand opera-themed theater is going to be very different than the seating for a casual, low-key media room.
You may think that your room has to have the rows of traditional seats just like you’d find in a commercial theater, but there are plenty of creative options that you can use to infuse your cinema with your personality. Go for a couch or love seat style that encourages people to get cozy. Giant pillows are a great option for a more casual vibe. And if your theater is themed for a 1960s drive-in, then why not go for seats designed like vintage cars?
