Home Theater Design Concepts

One of the most overlooked features of a quality Home Theater design are the dimensions of the room. The size and shape of a Home Theater Room can significantly affect the quality of your Home Theater system. The dimensions of your room will determine how the sound will interact with the interior walls, especially the low frequency (bass) sound waves.

The ideal shape for a room is rectangular. However, if possible stay away from rooms where the length and width are multiples of the height. For example, if the height of your Home Theater is 8', the length and width should not be 16' x 24' (both multiples of 8'). Try altering at least one dimension by a foot or so. A square shaped room is the least acoustic friendly shape that you can have.

Home Theater

If you have invested a considerable amount of money in your A/V system, the weakest link in your Home Theater is usually the inherent acoustic properties of the room. Just about any room requires some kind acoustical enhancements. In most Cases, you will be sitting more than 3' from your primary Speakers. When doing so, the majority of the sound comes to you indirectly, bounced to you from the various walls in your room, rather than directly from the primary Speakers. Therefore, the room will exaggerate some sounds and dampen other sounds.

In order to maximize your investment in your Home Theater system, you need to control how the sound waves bounce around your room. This can be accomplished by strategically hanging acoustic panels in your theater. The majority of time, you will use absorptive acoustic panels. These panels help absorb the sound waves, basically stopping them from bouncing off several walls before they reach your ears. When your Home Theater design demands a large portion of your room to be covered in panels, then you should consider installing Diffusive acoustic panels. These panels contain uneven surfaces (hidden by acoustic fabrics) which help distribute the sound wave such that they don't bounce all over the room, yet they keep the room sounding alive and vivid.

Historically, acoustic panels were not very designer friendly. Most fabrics came in dull, muted colours. Battle lines were drawn between Interior Designers and the women in the household, who were interested in creating an aesthetically pleasing Home Theater design. Their nemesis was the husband, who wanted to create an acoustically pleasing sound environment to maximize his investment in his high-end Home Theater system.

Fortunately, both parties' goals can now be met with the advent of decorative acoustic panels. These panels basically contain quality images featuring original art, movie posters, landscape images or any other type of imagery that you desire.

Several companies have introduced decorative acoustic panels to their product line, but perhaps the best equipped company is 3-D Squared. They offer over 50 customizable original designs, as well as about a dozen beautifully crafted themed murals such as New York City, Undersea and Universal.
