The Latest Trends in Media Room Design

Some of you may remember when the family gathered in the den and switched on the TV for after-dinner movie nights. It seems like just yesterday. Home entertainment has, however, transformed in the last several years thanks to advancements in audio, video, and hidden technology.

Today, many homes are equipped with technology that delivers incredibly lifelike pictures and immersive surround sound. You'll find home theaters offering a cinematic experience that rivals the best cineplexes in McLean, Virginia, with tiered recliners, starlit ceilings, and movie screens that fill a wall. They’re the perfect solution for those who demand the ultimate viewing experience.

There is, however, another home entertainment space that’s becoming increasingly popular—the media room. These multi-use spaces are designed for a myriad of activities, from binge-watching your favorite series to playing video games, watching sports, and listening to high-performance music. 

They're designed for socializing, with tiered seating replaced by sectionals, tables, and chairs. Consider the room where you and your family watch movies. Now, enhance that room with the latest audio and video solutions on steroids, and you have a media room. 

Let’s explore the latest media room design trends and how to transform a space into an entertainment mecca.
