Ideas for Setting Up a Home Theatre

Whether you’re binge-watching your favourite show on Netflix, or enjoying a movie night with the family, you’ll want to do it in style.

The options for creating a home theatre are almost endless with sound, lighting, seats, screen and even window treatments to add to the total experience of being in another world, if only for a couple of hours.

Lighting

A good theatre experience needs the proper lighting, and you need to be able to control light – both natural and artificial – to your advantage.

Room-darkening or block-out window treatments can block up to 99% of light, not only reducing glare on the screen but protecting the furniture inside your home theatre from harmful UV rays.

Just like a real movie theatre, you can install smart lights to create the perfect ambiance before the movie starts and then turn them off without even leaving your seat thanks to voice control. All you need is a Phillips HUE light bulb, or any light enabled with a Somfy RTS receiver.

Your lighting can be completely personalised to suit your requirements and change depending on the situation.

Audio and Visual

For the complete experience while you’re watching the big screen, you need uninhibited audio and video.  Limit external sounds with soft furnishings, including window treatments to control vibration and increase audio quality. The good thing is, window treatments can also help with the visual aspect, by blocking glare from hitting your screen.

Luxury

If you’re looking to take your home theatre to the next level, you’ll want it to be luxurious. Adding motorised curtains to your home theatre can boost the luxe feel of the room, even if you don’t have windows! Use them on a wall to boost the acoustics or use them to protect your screen from dust and scratches when not in use!

If you really want to impress your guests, show them how easy it is to control all your Somfy-motorised solutions right from your smartphone.
