When you think about amenities for your new custom luxury home, what high-end home features come to mind?
Luxury home landscaping? Smart home technology? In-home spa? What about a luxury home theater?
Incorporating a home theater into your luxury home design can greatly benefit your living space in many ways. Sam Vercher, a luxury home builder in East Texas, has knowledge and experience in luxury home construction and craftsman design details, and there’s nothing like a home theater to make everyone – from immediate family to in-laws to guests – happy and entertained.
The luxury home theater can be a focus point for your home. It is a gathering place for family as well as a great space to host movie/game nights with friends.
Does your family enjoy a particular sport, movie, or type of music? Tailor your home theater design around a theme—think an homage to your favorite sport with a detailed mural on the walls, all your favorite Star Wars characters joining the design, or a concept modeled after your favorite concert venue or classical theater.
If “theater” is more your style, design your home theater around a famous theater—especially European-themed, or make it uniquely your own via design specifics such as craftsman architectural details, custom seats, and whatever other details make the entertainment space just right for you and your family.
Here’s a list of other luxurious home theater ideas to help you and your custom home builder design the perfect space for your new luxury home.
Seating
Rather than traditional theater seating, why not plan more with comfort in mind. Design your home theater like you want the movies to feel—homey. Incorporate couches and lounging spaces to make the theater experience more enjoyable for you and your guests.
Do you want your home theater to feel like a real theater? Include platform seating both for viewing purposes and that authentic experience.
Movie theater seats are always known for their comfort, but you have design options. How about relaxing in cushy leather reclining armchairs while you watch your favorite film on the big screen? Or upgrade those classic movie theater seats by adding luxury details such as making them heated, reclining, massaging, or all three!
Lighting
One of the main details of any theater is lighting. It’s important to have just the right lighting and to be able to control the lights at the touch of a button. Smart screen technology allows you to dim and control the lights with the touch of a button.
If you want a real theater feel, design a room without windows or incorporate state-of-the-art light-canceling blinds.
Design Ideas
While a luxury home theater in your home is always amazing, what about designing an outdoor luxury home theater for a truly unique home movie experience? Curl up on a comfy couch and enjoy your beautiful outside space while watching your favorite movie.
Do you have a gamer or gamers in your household? Incorporate a top-of-the-line gaming setup to make the gaming experience even more fun and immersive.
Floors are important in theaters. There’s a reason most movie theaters have wall-to-wall carpeting as this design works best to control sound. The flooring also adds a unique design detail to bring the room together.
Especially in hot places like East Texas, you’ll want your luxury home theater to be climate-controlled. Smart technology allows you to control the room’s temperature with just the touch of a button, and you never need to leave your comfy seat.
It goes without saying that the screen is a crucial detail in your home theater design. Do you want a pull-down or permanent screen? How big do you want it to be?
You’ll also definitely want a top-of-the-line sound system to rival any traditional movie theater experience. Talk to your designer about what options are available and ways to hide the audio for a fully immersive experience.
What about drinks and snacks? Integrate a bar into your design for the ultimate in luxury. Mix drinks and/or make homemade movie theater popcorn and snacks to enjoy with your favorite movie or game.
Not into a big movie night with the family? Create an intimate home theater space just for you and a few others by keeping the screen big and the seating small.
By incorporating a luxury home theater into your custom home design, you’ll create a space for you and everyone to enjoy. From surround sound to custom lighting to a wide array of seating options, bring together all you’ve ever wanted in a theater experience to your own home.
