5 Home Theater Upgrades For Your Living Room

5 Home Theater Upgrades For Your Living Room

How often do you get annoyed by a crying kid or people talking too much in theaters? Transform your living room into your own personal theater with a few key pieces and a large TV or projector. You won’t have to spend too much on these five upgrades for your Boulevard Coast condo home theater setup


Blackout Curtains

While natural light is good most of the time, such as when you’re working, its absence is critical if you’re planning to immerse yourself in the latest movies. When the goal is to make the room as dark as possible, you’d want to invest in proper blackout curtains for your windows.

5 Home Theater Upgrades For Your Living Room

A New Sound System

Part of the theater experience is hearing every step, feeling the rumble of explosions, and the sounds coming all around you. The latest sound systems offer this by having several speakers surrounding you (or the couch). It’s important to have a bass component and either 5 or 7 sub-components to get the best effect.


Change Your TV Settings

Most TVs come with default settings and aren’t optimized to provide a dark-room experience. Aside from lowering the brightness, you can enable HDR as well as toggle smoothing and other settings in your smart TV.

Invest in a Bigger Screen or Projector

Bigger is better when viewing entertaining content in your living room. That said, you should consider upgrading to a modern TV or even a projector you can cast on a wall or white screen. The cost will be well worth it if everyone is enjoying it, and you can even invite friends over for a watch party.

The Best Seats You Can Afford

Complete your home theater with plush recliner seats or a really comfortable sofa. Plop them at a good viewing distance to the TV, then test it out and see if you can view all the content on-screen.
