Do you love to invite friends and family over for movie night? Make it something special by creating the ultimate theatre experience in your very own home. A home theatre allows you to take charge of how you view your favorite entertainment—think cozy chairs, surround sound and a gigantic screen.

While putting together the ultimate home theatre can cost you a pretty penny, it’s totally worth it. With a home theatre you’ll never again have to pay for overpriced movie tickets or shush a chatty patron in the row behind you.

Projector screen

Purchasing an LCD or Plasma television definitely pales in comparison to installing a projector screen in your home theatre. Whether you purchase a fixed wall version or one that pulls down, having an actual screen will give you the real deal movie theatre experience that a television just can’t.

3D projector

No matter your age, you’re guaranteed to feel like the coolest kid on the block if you own a 3D projector. 3D projectors allow you to create a 2D or 3D viewing experience in your very own home. 3D glasses are usually included with this luxury product.

Wireless sound system

Skip the clutter and install a wireless sound system in your home theatre. Look for a system with crisp surround sound that can connect to several different sources at once, including your television, gaming system and music player.

A great system will be easy to set up and customize to fit your room’s dimensions, ensuring the sound you get is top quality. Many wireless home theatre systems are outfitted to play music throughout the house and even in the backyard.

Luxury theatre seats

Create the consummate viewing experience—and put your couch to shame—with luxury theatre seats. Look for streamlined seating in leather or velvet. Make sure the seats are both ergonomic for back support and have a motorized recline for ultimate relaxation.

Choose seats that have little extras like cup holders, a mini fridge in the arm rest, or a tray table. These add-ons ensure you won’t have to get up in the middle of the movie to grab more snacks.

A big theme

What’s a home theater without movie inspired decor? Go big and decorate your home theatre to resemble a classic cinema. Accent with velvet curtains or deco details to give your room a really retro vibe.

Be a true movie geek and use your favourite flick as inspiration for your home theatre interior. Create your own bat cave or relax on the Death Star.

Don’t skimp when it comes to outfitting your home theatre. A luxury room filled with everything you need guarantees the viewing experience you’ve always dreamed of.
