One of the most important rooms in our home is the living room. Since we spend a lot of time in the living room, we need to carefully choose the equipment, colors, doors and windows during the interior design.
In most apartments, family or group of friends usually gather in the living room for birthdays, meetings, gatherings. In the evenings, we like to sit down on the couch together and talk, play board games, listen to music, or watch movies. It is becoming increasingly popular to use large screen flat screen TVs, smart TVs, or even a projection screen for home theater systems. If we do not have the opportunity to turn a separate room into a cinema room, a music room, then try to design the living room equipment in such a way that in the evenings or on weekends, in our free time we can feel in a real cinema.
For a true cinematic experience, you definitely need to get good quality speakers, home theater amplifiers, possibly subwoofers, and of course a television or projection screen and projector. To make you feel really comfortable and at home while watching a movie or listening to music, we decorate the room with comfortable seating. With the help of a tasteful and comfortable sofa covered with beautiful upholstery or leather, or armchairs with reclining backs, and chair covers, we can create a perfect cinematic atmosphere. Upholstered furniture not only determines the atmosphere of the room in terms of comfort and aesthetics, but also has a sound-absorbing function. You may also want to get a bass trap or ljudisolering
If the living room is in a common space with the kitchen and dining room, echo, uncomfortable acoustics can cause problems while listening to music or watching movies. The reflections degrade the sound a lot, and due to the long-term unpleasant, bad acoustics, we can experience grass fatigue and headaches, so instead of relaxing, relaxing, and having fun while screening our favorite movie or series, we’ll find we’re tired, tense. we are.
We have already mentioned that upholstered furniture has a certain degree of sound absorption. However, this is not enough to perfect the sound of movies in an open-plan living room. When designing a home theater system, consider the acoustic treatment of the walls and ceiling of the room, and leave as few large flat and hard surfaces as possible during the equipment. This is because the sounds are reflected from these, and they cause an unpleasant, deafening sound. For the comfort of the cinema room and the stylish design, place a floor mat or even sound-absorbing mats on the floor surface, which, in addition to their sound-insulating properties, can also be used for thermal insulation and provide a soft, silky, warm feeling. If your living room windows open onto a busy street or noisy area, or if you have large glass surfaces and patio doors, it is recommended to attenuate the noise coming from outside with curtains. If you choose a thick, densely woven fabric, you can not only use heat and sound insulation, but they also have a darkening function, which can be very beneficial for a cinema room if you want to completely darken the room during the film screening.

Once we have all this, we can start expanding our home theater system with newer audio and hi-fi devices. If you want to connect more speakers to the system, choose from the same brand of products, as this will make their setup much easier. Most home theater amplifiers also have room calibration programs that improve the unfavorable acoustics of rooms. But even these can only work really effectively if we also take care of the acoustic treatment of the surfaces of the room.
