Putting together the perfect home theater system

There's no reason you can't have the home theater you always dreamed of.

Having a home theater in your house isn't nearly as difficult as you might think. In fact, with just a few pieces of furniture, an entertainment system and enough space, you will be on your way to endless family movie nights and game days at your place. That said, there are a few things you should keep in mind when designing your own home theater system:

Seating
High-quality seating options are essential for every home theater. Remember: You and your guests are only as comfortable as the seats you are sitting in! Instead of making do with some beat-up sofa and old recliners, invest in some super-comfy seating that you'll be excited to spend hours sitting on. From family-sized sectionals to power recliners and everything in between, Arwood's Furniture & Mattress has what you need to get the most out of your home theater system. If you really want to treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind seat, check out our great reclining furniture.

Audio and visual
To begin with, you should think about what you want to watch your programming on. You have a couple of options when it comes to the visual aspect. If you have or want to find a gigantic television, go for it – just make sure you set it up around plenty of electrical outlets. But if you want to enhance the visual effects of your favorite sci-fi thriller, think about getting a projector. After you find a projector, all you need is a light colored wall, ​bed sheet​, or painter's canvas to project on to.

One of the biggest benefits to setting up your own home theater system is hearing the same types of sounds you would in a movie theater or at a stadium. Take full advantage of the opportunity by installing a deluxe audio system to go with your awesome visuals. If you really want to enhance the experience, you can soundproof your walls to improve the acoustics. But even if you don't, make sure you at least pick out a surround-sound system.

Storage
If you've successfully put together a home theater, the last thing you want is for it to turn into a pigsty. It's important to ​fill your theater with storage furniture that will house all of your electronics, gadgets​, ​DVDs​, and other theater needs​. Pick out a media console that is the right size and style for the room​, add a decorative storage cabinet for movies and collectibles, or really splurge for a bar and become the ultimate home theater host​. ​If you're looking for a furniture store with the best deals in Missouri, make sure you ​visit Arwood's today!
