It\’s quite normal that you have a large home with a large basement but you barely use much of its provided space. Why not try something creative? I\’m now going to tell you the three easy steps to convert your basement into an extraordinary basement home theatre. Everyone loves to visit the theatres once in awhile, why can\’t you just build one at home? To create a movie-watching atmosphere might not be as costly as you think it is. Your empty basement can be converted into an entertainment centre inexpensively and it\’ll be as rewarding too.
- Creating the atmosphere
Do not hesitate; it\’s as simple as ABC. Firstly, if you have the expenses, buy sound deadening carpets. This would allow you to watch your movie without any disturbance, like noise. If you have windows in your basement, it\’s an option for you to purchase blackout curtains, since no light can penetrate them, to give you a dark and cozy environment for your movie watching experience. If you have the expenses, you should install an air-conditioner in your basement, if not, fans will do. It can get quite stuffy inside sometimes.
- Choosing the right things to buy
It\’s quite exciting when you go to the movies, because you\’re able to watch an action movie or a chick flick on a humongous screen. Ok, maybe it\’s not possible to buy such a large screen, but it is possible to create the same environment. Firstly, save up to purchase surround sound speakers. Imagine a movie with outstanding sound effects, or action movies with blasting surround-sound effects, isn\’t that great? Other than that, you can purchase a large screen television to provide you the best visual effects.
- Decorating
It\’s quite easy actually, just move in one or two sofas into the basement to give you a comfortable place to watch from. Usually, movie theatres will have popcorn machines. Purchasing one is quite worth it, because no movie\’s perfect without popcorn. Maybe you\’re no popcorn lover; why not build a snack table that can provide you all those delicious goodies you have in the movies. This won\’t be costly too!
Doesn\’t it amaze you how one empty space in your house can do for you? It\’s quite an excellent idea, especially when your basement is unused and collecting dust. These three steps will provide you a satisfying experience.
