Invest In a Quality Sound System
Cinemas have a fantastic sound system, which is half the fun of watching a movie in the cinema. When creating an at-home cinema, you want to invest in a quality sound system, if you don’t already have one. Luckily, you can get great speakers no matter what your budget. You should also check out Facebook Marketplace and apps like Shpock, as you may be able to find a great deal on pre-used speakers.
When setting up a sound system, it is also best to get a hi-fi stand, as they can further improve the sound quality, creating the home cinema of your dreams. Want to watch a film when the kids have gone up to bed? Some hi-fi stands, such as the ones at Nintronics, also minimise the vibrations caused by speakers, meaning you can still get cinema sounds without waking up the kids.
Get A Projector
Unless you have a large budget, a projector is the best way to create a family home cinema, without paying thousands for a large TV. You can pick up a pre-loved projector for less than £200 or find a budget one for less than £50! This is about as much as you would pay for a family of 4 to visit the cinema, including tickets, drinks, and snacks.
All you need is a plain wall where the projector can face. If you don’t have a plain wall, you can improvise by hanging a white sheet, or you may want to purchase a projector screen that can be pulled down from the ceiling. Again, this won’t cost much and is simple to install. Creating an outdoor home cinema? Here is the lowdown on the best outdoor projector screens, for cosy summer nights.
Consider How You Want The Seating
The beauty of creating your very own family home cinema is that you can choose to furnish it however you want! If you are creating the home cinema in your living room, perhaps you want to make the space extra comfortable, by adding some fairy lights, blankets, and cushions. You could also invest in a few beanbags for the kids. Now you can find the best movies on Netflix right now, get the snacks in, and press play!
Creating the perfect family home cinema is easy and can be done no matter what your budget. Invest in a quality sound system, find a projector in your price range, perfect your seating arrangements are you’re ready to go! If you are sick of rising cinema costs but miss the feel of a cinema, a family home cinema is well worth the investment.
