In your living room like at the movies

With curfews on the rise and the amount of time spent at home increasing, are you tempted to create a space dedicated to watching your favorite films in your living room? Here are a few tips to turn your living room into the most comfortable of movie theaters.

Ideal if you want to entertain large numbers of people to watch masterpieces of the 7th art. Many brands, such as Mobilier de France, offer customizable installations to accommodate even the largest families.

If you prefer, and for an even more "cinematic" look, you can also opt for the installation of several armchairs. Today, there's a wide choice of comfortable armchairs, including electric recliners that allow you to adjust the position of your head and feet, or to lie down and stand up at will.

As for comfort, don't hesitate to decorate your sofa with cushions and plaids, which will be a real delight as you create your little cocoon of well-being.
To take things a step further, a coffee table is an ideal accessory for your popcorn bowl, ice cream tub or meal tray. You can choose a swivel model, such as the tables offered by Mobilier de France, which will adapt to your needs with a simple rotation.

The choice of video and audio equipment is certainly the most crucial and the most expensive when it comes to creating a cinema-style living room. Unless you're passionate about the subject, it's essential to seek the advice of a professional to make the right choices.

On the image side, the question arises of whether to opt for a television or a video projector. A video projector offers a softer, more colorful image, and is ideal for total immersion. On the other hand, choose a television if you don't want to see the weather forecast projected onto almost the entire wall of your living room.

If you choose a television, you have three options: hang it on the wall, place it on a TV stand or integrate it into a wall composition. Some brands, such as Mobilier de France, offer the possibility of creating your own custom-made wall arrangement to separate a large room or add storage and decorative elements, for example.

When it comes to sound, a home cinema installation requires the presence of several sources arranged in the room with precise placement and inclination. Once again, there are many options to choose from, depending on your needs and budget. It is therefore advisable to consult a professional in the field.

Lighting is also an important consideration. Particular care needs to be taken, especially if you like daytime viewing. You can achieve total darkness simply by closing your shutters and installing blackout curtains. If a simple half-light is all you need, installing several sources of indirect lighting will diffuse a soft glow without dazzling viewers.
