Movies are a way for us to escape reality for an hour or two and enjoy the creativity and vision of filmmakers from around the world. You can make every one of your viewing experiences even more enjoyable by optimizing the space around you. Below, we’ve listed a few simple ways to maximize comfort and a luxury feel in your home entertainment room.

Add Plush Pillows

Boost your couch’s cushiness with throw pillows. You can find pillows in all sorts of textiles—faux fur, velvet, silk—that will add a great look to your furnishings.

Not only do throw pillows create a more relaxing environment, but they also establish a more luxurious and personalized one. When you need to add a splash of color or personality to your entertainment space, incorporate a variety of plush pillows.

Incorporate Fluffy Throw Blankets

One of the more obvious ways to make your home entertainment space more luxurious is to add blankets into the mix. There are a lot of reasons you need throw blankets in your home, and amplified comfort is one of them.

Pro Tip: Like throw pillows, throw blankets come in a wide range of textures for you to choose from. Regardless of whether you choose a fuzzy or sleek throw blanket, it’ll add a splash of color to your entertainment space.

Emphasize Ambiance With Lighting

Imagine if you went to the movie theater and your theater just had one harsh overhead light—that doesn’t sound ideal, right? Apply this same notion to the lighting setup in your entertainment space. Your room should have various ambient lighting options to create a more dramatic viewing experience.

Pro Tip: Dimmers are a popular lighting option when it comes to home entertainment systems. They allow you to set the mood for an epic film and you can gradually turn them back on to make for a much less abrupt end to your viewing party.

Don’t Overlook the Floors

People often overlook floors when it comes to adding comfort to a space. But there are plenty of ways to make your home entertainment space more luxurious that involve adding warmth underfoot.

Textured rugs are an easy yet impactful addition to any room that needs a little more style and comfort. Unless you already have a plush carpet, consider incorporating a fluffy area rug in your entertainment room.

Pro Tip: If you don’t want a huge area rug, go for a smaller one and place it strategically in front of your couch. Your feet can appreciate the soft sensation during movie time.
