Luxurious Home Cinema Additions
June 18, 2013Over the past twenty years, home cinemas have become a popular option for luxury homeowners. No longer is this amenity rare with upscale residences. Homeowners are looking for a large screening room they can use specifically for movies, sports and any other type of viewing they prefer. The expectation of adding a cinema to a home is to rival the experience of actually going to the movies. The expectations have driven designers and installers towards some creative ways to provide the movie-viewing experience desired by the rich.
Some homeowners are designing their home to include a cinema from the beginning, while others are adding one to the basement or an extra room they don’t use. The Glitz and Glamour of the in-home theater is a huge part of the homes converting space into a cinema. Many of these luxury homeowners don’t want just a room with a few chairs and a big screen TV. They want the entire movie-going experience at home with the most comfortable chairs, best sound system and more.
