Imagine the luxury of coming home to your very own Asian theatre room, complete with a 3D TV, projector or super-sized TV, surround sound, and comfy recliner chair. You’d never line up to buy a cinema ticket again! If you’re fortunate enough to have a spare room, basement or garage that’s not being used, an Asian cinema room with a home entertainment system may be be easier to install than you think. Even your living room can replicate the cinema experience. Read on for more ideas on how your TV, sound system and seating can bring Hollywood home.

Do I need a designated room for an Asian home theatre?

If you have space to spare, a separate cinema room can be quite the luxury, but it’s definitely not necessary to enjoy all the benefits of home theatre experience. Most people integrate their home cinema into their living room. So you don’t compromise on style, consider having your TV screen mounted to the wall, or install a projector that can be stowed away when not in use. If in your living room, try to disguise your speakers and any cables. Ceiling-integrated speakers are a great option. Otherwise, in a standalone theatre room, consider making your speakers a feature.

What equipment should I add to my Asian media room?

A projector and projector screen will lead to a more dramatic movie experience, but the picture can be slightly blurry if the equipment quality is bad. A high-definition plasma or LCD TV might not be quite as large scale, but will deliver a more crisp, clear image. You can, however, find oversized wall-mounted TVs that match the size of a projector screen – but these do cost a pretty penny. Next, enhance your cinema experience with surround sound to make the movie-goers feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. Home automation can further replicate the real cinema experience. Consider installing lights that automatically dim once the film starts, or LED strip lighting that comes on when a movie is paused. Finish your fit-out with a gaming console so you can use the big screen and comfy seats to battle your friends.
