Designing a home theatre is not an easy task. Every small component contributes to a good home theatre design.

Likewise, even a minute mistake can end up completely compromising the viewing experience. Rooms, walls, windows, the distance between the screen and sitting area- everything is essential while designing and setting up a home theatre system.

A home theatre plan should be well planned to include details like angles and distance- things that might appear to be insignificant to a layman’s eyes.

• Deciding on the room is one of the first steps of designing a home theatre system. The fewer the windows, the better. It is because windows let in light, which might cause reflections on the viewing surface. The walls should be painted as dark as possible to avoid any distractions while the screen is brightly lit.
• The placement of the center front speaker is crucial as it projects the sound from the screen. If this is done wrongly, one will see people speaking on the screen while their sound comes from elsewhere. It hampers the whole experience.
• Another component that has a major effect on the home theatre experience is the place that one is viewing from. The viewing height should be such that the center of the screen is at the viewer’s eye level. Apart from that, the optimum angle and optimum distance should also be kept into consideration.

However, it is tricky for a layperson to take care of all the designing aspects with the utmost expertise. Thus, it would save a lot of time if one hires a professional for these tasks.
