3 Aspects to Consider in Your Media Room’s Design

Enhance Your Austin Home’s Entertainment with Beautifully Designed Spaces

How do you like to spend your downtime in your Austin-area home? Do you enjoy diving deep into the latest mystery bestseller while sipping tea, or do you prefer to hang out online with your friends on video game missions? Perhaps you’re a movie buff, or you like to binge a few episodes of a favorite streaming series to wind down after a long day at work.

Whatever your pleasure, you can do it all in your Texas home’s media room. A media room is a great place for the entire family, too, where everyone can choose to engage in their favorite activities while being around those they love. At Captivate, we consider media room design to be an art. Seating selections and audio/video choices are abundant, but our team can help you choose the perfect combination for non-stop activities.

Seating

One of the main differences between a personalized home theater and a media room is its function. A home theater is solely used for entertainment, whereas a media room can serve as a multifunctional space. Lounging, reading, video games, and watching a movie are all on the entertainment agenda in a media room.

Because there are various ways to enjoy this space, the seating is much different than a home theater’s plush chairs and recliners. Sure, a recliner could be present in a media room, but sectionals and chaise loungers are more commonplace. Whatever style you decide upon, rest easy knowing Captivate can help you find the best fabrics and styles that suit your design tastes and comfort needs.

 

Audio

Immersive audio is imperative for any action-packed car chase or dramatic rom-com scene. No matter what you’re watching, being able to imagine yourself in the storyline changes the way you experience entertainment. Our audio team will design a sound system using speakers, amplifiers, and receivers that not only sound great but look great, too.

With McIntosh and Bowers & Wilkins audio, you have a stunning visual conversation-starter powering all of your music, podcasts, and movie audio. You’ll be able to hear a pin drop in stunning clarity with high-performance products custom-designed for your Austin-area space.

 

Video

With media rooms, you have several choices available for vibrant, HD image quality. Motorized projection screens offer larger-than-life images that roll away into the ceiling or TV cabinet with the tap of a button. Some TVs such as Samsung’s The Frame can even hide in plain sight – serving as beautiful artwork when you’re not watching anything instead of a dull, black rectangle on the wall. Captivate will help you determine what you want out of your entertainment space while keeping your home’s décor in mind. They’ll then deliver an exceptional media room designed with your entertainment and aesthetic desires in mind.

 

Media room spaces can bring your entire family together, so make sure the area is designed to suit your tastes. Contact Captivate to enhance your entertainment options today.
