While the actual decorations and theme of a home theatre can run the gamut from old-time movie house to modern whimsy, there is a set pattern that should be followed in designing the room. Home theatre designs are patterned for a reason, and that's to ensure optimum viewing pleasure. Precision and even personal preference are key when putting together a design.

When putting together home theatre designs, there are several major things to consider. These include:

Room size: Having the dimensions of the room where home theatre designs will be brought into play is important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the size will dictate the screen that can be used. A giant screen in a room that's 10-feet-by-10-feet won't likely look very good. In fact, the quality might be degraded since seating will be almost on top of the screen. A general rule of thumb to follow is the larger the room, the larger the screen can be to provide optimum seating for viewing.

Screen size: As has been already stated, the room size and the screen size are fundamentally married in creating home theatre designs. This is so for a number of reasons. Take a look at a big screen or even projection screen television up close and the method behind the madness will be evident. Just make sure the screen size fits the room and provides for good viewing angles from every seat in it, or just about.

Seating: Seating, too, is a big concern for those looking at home theatre designs. Comfort is absolutely important, but so too is placement. A large room with a large screen won't work if the seats have to be placed right on top of the screen. Make sure when looking at seating that it fits the room and can be adjusted to work well for viewing. A good rule of thumb is to have the seating back as far as possible from the screen to ensure that every inch of it can be viewed with ease. There are formulas for this based on the screen size, but individual's eyesight might dictate some variations. All that really matters is that viewers are happy with the seating and the views.

Sound: Most home theatre designs include a surround sound system of some sort. It doesn't matter whether that system is a $5,000 top of the line creation or a budget $300 package, setting it up right will be important. Make sure directions are followed to the letter to ensure the sound quality is the best it can be. Even a less expensive sound system can sound fantastic when the speakers are placed where they are meant to go.

Putting together home theatre designs can be a fun undertaking, but there is a set pattern to how furniture, the screen and even the sound system should be set up. There are pretty precise formulas for these listed generally on manufacturer instructions. When these are followed to the letter, it's very easy to make adjustments to fit anyone's personal needs.
