Fun Ways to Use a Media Room
Many of us didn’t grow up with a ‘media room’ in the house and may be unfamiliar with the term. But just like the ‘computer room’ came and went from American households, our lifestyle changes call for a new place in the house.
Not quite a home theater, and more than a living room, a media room is outfitted for quality audio and video with space for entertaining family and friends. You may use the media room for:
- Watching live sports
- Video games
- Instructional workout videos
- Yoga
- Ping pong, pool, darts
- Listening to hi-fi music
- Dancing
- Sharing appetizers and drinks
- Card games and board games
- Arts and crafts
- Meditation
- Playing musical instruments
- And of course, watching movies and TV shows
Why in the Media Room?
A professionally installed multipurpose theater includes stunning 4K visuals on a large screen, perfectly calibrated in-wall speakers, and acoustic treatments that make it all sound excellent. If you’re playing games or sharing drinks with friends, you can tap a button on your wall keypad or smartphone app, and music surrounds you to set the scene.
If you don’t want the distraction of screens or a projector, in-ceiling lifts hide equipment when not in use. Multipurpose tables and seating let you enjoy hobbies and activities while a video plays on the projector screen or LED panel TV.
Make It Easier with a Smart Home Controller
Setting the mood for various activities is simple with a smart home system. Your smart controller connects to all home theater technologies, including lighting, shading, thermostats, speakers, and screens. Select the ‘Movie’ scene, and the lights dim, the shades close, the projector lowers, and the Blu-ray player turns on. Or choose ‘Lounge,’ and LED lights shift to fun colors while your party playlist starts playing over speakers.
