Having your own movie theater at home is the dream of every movie fan. It is an ideal place to spend time with your family or with friends. To be in the room as comfortable as possible, it is necessary to choose the right upholstered furniture.
Seat selection
To properly place the sofa in a room with a wide screen, you should adhere to certain recommendations. When choosing a place for furniture, you must consider the shape. Some models should be placed in a specific part of the room (for example, corner models are placed in the corner of the room).
However, depending on the design of the room, exceptions are possible. In this case a direct sofa may not stand under the wall, but in the center of the room, opposite the TV. Some prefer to put several direct models on the side of the TV, placing them diagonally.
To watch movies that are comfortable and safe for vision, there must be the necessary distance between the sofa and the screen. The larger the TV, the more free space you need to leave between the multimedia installation and furniture.

The location option depends on the number of pieces of furniture. If you choose one large sofa for a spacious room, it is better to place it in the center of the room, opposite the TV. Several small models can be placed in different parts of the room, for example, one in the center and 2 sofas in the tanks from the screen.
Designers recommend experimenting with free space in the room. Choose a few options that you like, take measurements of the room and sketch on paper the future location of the furniture.
Types of Home Theater Sofas
Growing consumer demand has led to the emergence of a large number of sofa models. Each of the options has certain features and is best suited to design a specific location.
For home theater, the options presented below are more suitable.
- Direct sofa. This model is universal and is perfect for any part of the house. Due to its simple form, it fits perfectly into any interior. Furniture can be placed in the center of the room, opposite the screen or near the wall, back to back. This option is often chosen if a home theater is equipped in a small room.
If a special room with a multi-level floor is allocated for the multimedia center, several direct sofas can be installed in the room. Like in an ordinary movie theater.
- Modular sofa. Designers consider this option the most suitable for large rooms. With it, you can comfortably accommodate a large number of guests. The main feature of such furniture is that it consists of individual parts (modules), which together represent an integral composition. Elements can be combined in different ways, knocking out the most suitable option. As a rule, such sofas are placed in the center of the room.
- Corner sofa. These are practical and convenient products that are great for rooms of various sizes. Despite the fact that the main option for their placement is the corner of the room, they are often placed in the center. The model will help to preserve the maximum available space and at the same time provide additional seats for seats, compared with direct products.
These are the most widely used models that modern buyers choose for home theater design. Semicircular and island models are also used, but much less frequently.
How to choose?
The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing furniture for a home theater is the size of the model. After its placement in the room there should be enough free space for comfortable movement and placement of other interior elements. It is necessary to make all the necessary measurements, especially if you are choosing the option for a small room.
The next criterion is comfort when using. Pay attention to the filler and upholstery. Make sure that the height of the back of the sofa is high enough and the seats have the necessary stiffness. The sofa should be comfortable for all family members and guests, regardless of their weight and height.
It is recommended to opt for models with upholstery made of natural materials.
An important characteristic when choosing is considered the cost. For most buyers, price is a determining factor. In order not to overpay for the selected model, carefully evaluate the catalogs of several stores. The same sofa can cost a lot.
Consider the design in which the room is decorated, and choose furniture in the same style. Then all the objects in the interior will look harmonious and attractive.
Examples in the interior
Stylish, roomy and comfortable modular sofa is perfect for a spacious room. The brown model is equipped with comfortable footrests, providing added convenience while watching your favorite movies and TV shows.
Designers used several identical models of straight sofas to decorate the space. The final result resembles a standard movie theater. This solution allows you to place a large company.
A direct light sofa will give the interior freshness and light. As can be seen in the photo, the furniture was placed closer to the center, leaving free space behind the back.
A comfortable corner sofa, installed in the corner of the room, combines practicality and comfort. A great option for a stylish look.
Here, on the basis of one room, designers used two types of furniture: modular and direct sofas (2 pieces). Closer to the screen, a large-sized model was placed, behind it are two small items of a classic rectangular shape.
A long, straight sofa in bright colors, mounted right next to the wall, is great for small rooms. It takes up little space, while allowing you to comfortably arrange a group of several people.
