Locking yourself inside the room to watch your favorite series. Laughing with your kids as you watch a very funny scene in a comedy movie. Comforting your wife as she cries over a touching part of a sappy movie.

If one of these scenarios is what you imagine for a perfect weekend, then this article will be worth reading! Today, we’re going to give you tips on how to come up with a perfect entertainment room for your HDB flat. Home theaters are not only for colossal palaces of celebrities! You can also have a satisfying mini home theater in your own HDB flat. Here are seven tips on how you to do just that.

Decide the room’s use and limitations

Set the limits. Decide if it’s going to be purely an entertainment room where you’ll go inside only to watch films and series, not a place to work or a place where your kid can run around and smash things. For some families, their living room also serves as their home theater or entertainment room in order to save space. This can be done! Just set your limits and you can start building it.

Plan out and allocate budget properly

What’s your priority? Allocating budget is about deciding on which item you would splurge on and on which elements your hands will be tight.

Would you sit on the floor with no couch at all only to have the grandest television and superb sound system that roars inside your home? Or is it okay to have just a medium-sized TV with a clear LCD screen just as long as you sit on the most comfortable couch while you watch? Set the limits for your budget and allocate it according to your priority.

The Mood

Each of us has our own preference when it comes to the mood of our home theater. Choose the right type, color, and intensity of light to set the mood in this part of your house. The color of your wall painting would also play a crucial role. Get inspiration from what we’ve written before about home paint colors.

The Television

We come down to one of the key components of your home theater – the television. The good news is, you have so many options to choose from for a TV. You can have a simple one with just the right amount of clarity or you can go all out with a television that has all the advanced 2018 TV technologies available, like the OLED or organic light-emitting diode feature that makes everything on screen close to the real thing! It’s totally up to you to choose which one fits your budget and your dream home theater best.

The Sound System

Just as important as the television, you have to do online window shopping for the most suitable sound system. There are so many online resources to look at. It’s only a decision that you need to make.

The Furniture

What types of furniture will you place inside your home theater area? Consider the space inside, the capacity of your home theater area when people move around, and most importantly, the comfort of everyone who will watch. Would you go for pillows or huge couches? Totally up to you!

Technical aspects

The structure of your home theater and the delicate parts inside should best be left to the hands of capable interior designers, electricians, and TV wall mount contractors. They know where to place the TV stand, the storage area, the furniture, sockets, lights, and other technical components of your home theater. Hire the right pros to carry out your plans perfectly!
