We're in the later stages of planning a new home, and I thought I had allowed enough room for my home theater. However, perhaps I've gotten greedy, because there's just enough room to try and fit my higher-end ideas, but seemingly not enough for me to make them work without feeling forced.
The room is 20' 3" wide and 21' 4" deep, with the entrance in the back center. My wish list is a 2.35:1 CIH screen, as large as possible for the immersive Cinemascope experience and for a good 16:9 size as well.
Here's what I eventually came up with:
I was hoping to have a 2nd row of more lounging-type seating, but ran out of room, so those are barstools. Overall, though, it just feels too cramped and forced.
My thought is the false walls aren't really taking away from the space, since there would be speakers in that area anyway.
However, I'm now thinking that if I can't figure out a better arrangement, I should scale back to a more casual room.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
