members or neighbor.

Now, after getting a separate place, you can build the home theater room with high ceilings and dark walls.  It also would be a good idea to make it rectangular in shape and rather large.  Even smaller, the best home theater rooms make you feel as if you are in a real theater.  Make sure you add insulation to keep the acoustics confined within the walls.

Do you think you need windows for your home theatre?  Well, that’s really up to you.  In fact, a home theater shouldn’t have windows; a blower and air conditioning unit might ensure proper ventilation. However, simply cover the windows up with dark or heavy draperies if you still wish to have one.  Add carpeting and dim lights will be good for a real theater atmosphere.

The last thing to do after installing your home theater equipment is getting some comfy chairs, like a good sofa other than row seats. But again, everything is up to you … You’re the boss and the owner.

Keep in your mind that you will get an advantage by using an unfinished room, because you can make the necessary adjustments without rebuilding anything, and also can put the outlets in the right places and keep unsightly cables out of the way.

You can still use any room in the house, even your closet – as long as there is enough space and you can move in your equipment without throwing anybody out.
