The Best Home Theater Ideas for Elevated Binge-Watching
Briefly

The average movie ticket in New York is $23.10, highlighting the importance of creating an enjoyable home theater experience. Interior design experts recommend incorporating various elements such as surround sound systems, blackout curtains, and using thoughtful lighting. Achieving a cozy ambiance relies on dark, layered fabrics and dimmable lights. Home theaters can be both functional and stylish, using materials like moody velvets for sound absorption. Blackout curtains can enhance daylight aesthetics while transforming rooms into cinematic spaces at night, making the experience accessible and comfortable without feeling cheesy.
Thornton achieves a moody theater with "dark and layered fabrics-lots of velvets, wools, and mohairs," emphasizing that "lighting is everything-there's nothing worse than an overlay room. Dimmable lights are a must."
Saghian frequently suggests using dark, tactile materials such as "moody velvet drapery, suede wallpaper, or even matte limewash finishes to absorb sound and light." He notes that blackout curtains are particularly useful.
