Home theater furniture is needed to adequately support and properly set up a component home theater surround sound system.
TV or projector To be at the proper viewing height, today's high definition televisions need to be either resting on/in an appropriate TV stand or entertainment center, or in the case of a flat panel plasma or LCD HDTV, securely mounted to a wall with TV wall mount hardware. Likewise, home theater projectors may require projector mounting hardware.
A/V components If your flat panel TV will be wall-mounted, or your television stand or entertainment center furniture lacks adequate shelving and space to hold and ventilate a home theater receiver and source components such as a Blu-ray Disc player, video game console, and HDTV receiver (and the center channel speaker), you may also need to invest in a component rack. |
Speaker stands or mounts If you aren't going with in-wall speakers and/or in-ceiling speakers, you may need to invest in some speaker stands or wall mounts to locate any non-floorstanding speakers at their proper listening heights.
Seating furniture You will also need enough home theater seating furniture for all the family and friends that will be sharing in the enjoyment of your new home theater. Depending on your particular room and home theater budget constraints, you can go with individual home theater recliners with cup holders, or one or more rows of connected home theater seats or sofas. Comfort is important for being able to relax long enough to last through a two hour movie or three hour TV sporting event.
Other related home theater room furnishing considerations include carpeting for the floor, acoustic treatments and/or decor, and perhaps even automated curtains and lighting. |
