The Best Home Theater Accessories and Decor
A home theater isn’t complete without accessories and complementary decor to create the most memorable movie or game-viewing experience.
We’ve put together the list of must-have accessories and decor tips so you can make your home theater a room that brings people together, entertains, and creates lasting memories - all in the comfort of your home.
Seating
We’d love to assume you already have home theater-style seating, but we don’t like making assumptions! This is a must-have for your home theater experience, especially considering you’re spending a good deal of time sitting during your show or movie marathons.
The best part about home theater seating is that the design and materials used have significantly improved over the years to match pretty much any room’s existing decor. So if your living room is also your home theater room, you don’t have to compromise on function and aesthetics and can have both!
The toughest decision you’ll have to make is how many seats you’ll want and if you want one with built-in accessories, like side tables and cupholders, or if you want something a little simpler.
Concessions & Refreshments
No movie experience is complete without refreshments and concessions.
A sideboard or buffet is a perfect piece of furniture to house your platter of concessions and use as a drink station. And when you’re not using it during movie-viewing times, it becomes a great piece to store platters, napkins, and other needs and display other decorative elements.
Want some extra space for seating and use for concessions and refreshments? Consider a theater bar set, which can be placed behind your main home theater seats.
Of course, you can also go for a full bar set that can be set in the back of your home theater room and also used for many purposes and events.
Don’t forget the small touches for the full experience, like getting a tabletop popcorn machine, candy dispensers or jars, and maybe even a soda fountain!
If you opt or don’t have home theater seats with cupholders, it’s also a good idea to find a good accent table or even nesting accent tables for each guest to have for their drinks and food.
Media Consoles
If you’re using a living room or don’t have a dedicated home theater room where you can hang a large TV or even use a projector, you’ll also want to consider your media console.
Depending on your storage needs for entertaining, such as movies, video games, controllers, and sound systems, Watson’s carries a wide variety of media consoles to fit any room’s decor and storage needs.
Intermission
Don’t forget to add in some more fun for your guests and family as you wait for everyone to convene to get your viewing started!
Consider adding a fun tabletop arcade game to your theater room to play before and during intermissions and bathroom breaks!
If you have the room, you can also consider other tabletop games, like pool, air hockey, table tennis, and more. These can also be fun for those sports-watching days, in between games and during time-outs!
Decor
If you have a dedicated home theater room, the sky’s the limit with decorating opportunities. From classic red curtains and framed movie posters for the movie buff to a favorite team’s colors and fan memorabilia, there are endless options.
If you don’t have a dedicated home theater room, you can still bring in some fun while also keeping decor more neutral. Framing a movie poster or displaying some movie-type memorabilia and decor, like film cans are simple and subtle options.
