Press Release News - For Immediate Release: Designing a Media Room for Style and Comfort

BOSTON, MASS. – May 13, 2008 – More than ever before, Americans are moving their televisions out of their living rooms and bedrooms - and into dedicated home media rooms. A space devoted to TV viewing presents unique room design challenges, and C. Davis Remignanti, Lead Design Consultant at http://www.furniturefind.com/, offers the following tips:

Let There Be Light: To optimize your home entertainment (http://www.furniturefind.com/less-than-stronggreater-than-Entertainment-Furnitureless-than-stronggreater-than-C25957.html) experience, you need to have total control over light. The best media rooms have few windows, room-darkening window treatments, and lights on dimmer switches. Total darkness is not the ideal - a small amount of dim light makes the images on high-definition TVs less straining on the eyes.

Reserved Seating: Consider the number of seats you really need. A young or retired couple who don't host "movie night" parties needn't have seating for six. A family with two or three children may need, on occasion, to accommodate eight or more, making sectional sofas (www.furniturefind.com/Simmons-Upholstery-Ebbtide-Sectional-SUP1377.html) a good option.

Time to Recline: When possible, try to work reclining furniture (www.furniturefind.com/Home-Styles-5610-10-1001-HO1252.html) into your room's décor. Nothing enhances your viewing please quite like feeling as though you are in the lap of luxury. Sure, recliners are a guilty pleasure, but they are the perfect choice for media rooms.

Under Cover: Keep your electronics under wraps - no one likes a tangle of cords and wiring. Choose a media cabinet (www.furniturefind.com/Riverside-Furniture-34157-34158-RVF1263.html) that has closeable doors and more storage than you think you'll need. The chances are that every drawer and storage area will prove useful.

Go Wireless: Even an inexpensive home theater speaker system will greatly enhance your viewing experience. But having speakers dotted all around the room can be logistically difficult. Consider a wireless speaker system to keep the room free of extraneous clutter and wires.
