Realistically – when was the last time you went to a movie theater? Chances are, due to the pandemic you’ve probably been streaming Netflix or Hulu movies off your TV for a few years now. So, why not expand that space and make a legitimate home theater room? Follow along for the best 25 basement home theater ideas below!

What is the average size of a home theater room?

While each home theater design is going to be different, you want to make sure you have enough space in your own home to implement your design. Typically, the standard size for a cinema room is 20 by 15 feet – with a high ceiling. Some other theater setups are around 8×10 or 10×12 feet.

However, if you don’t have that much space in your home, don’t worry! That doesn’t mean that you can’t implement a theater experience in a small space. Some room designs can be as small as 120 inches.

So, look at your space and see how much room you have. You’re going to want to think about screen size, built-in theater chairs, or maybe even a sectional and popcorn machine. It all depends on how much space you have!

What color should the ceiling be in a theater room?

While typically I’d say that this is a personal homeowner choice, you want to be more careful with wall colors in a home theater. Why? Because you don’t want light reflecting off of the big screen – that is so annoying! Typically, theater rooms are going to be a more neutral color – for instance, think gray or dark brown.

However, Architectural Digest says that your home movie theater doesn’t need to feel like a dark man cave. You can make up for the neutral wall colors with top-notch interior design. For instance, think elegant leather chairs, a large sectional, sprawling blankets, blackout curtains, and luxurious artwork.

25 Basement Home Theater Ideas:

Now, let’s take a look at some of our favorite basement home theater ideas below!

#1 – Comfort Over Everything

#3 – Black Out Curtains

Not only do black out curtains look great in the spare bedroom – they’ll make your home cinema feel like an actual theater! Plus, it’s a great hack for blocking out excess light.

#4 – Color Coordinate

Pick a color and stick with it! Here, they went with the all white recliners – but you could do leather, a dark red – whatever you think would look good in your home design!

If you have an empty walkway or additional space for an entrance into your home theater – do it! It’ll give guests the feeling of being in an actual movie theater – but with more comfort!

    Using a classical design for a home theater really does sound like a great idea for our home. If we can get it installed the right way, it can be our sort of “retreat area” when we just want to relax at home away from most of the modern areas we already have. I’m sure my family will love that, so I’ll look for any audio-video system providers I can hire to start the project.
