Media rooms often focus on the screen, the seating and the size. But one of the top ways to personalize your media room is with lighting. There’s an abundance of ways to accomplish this, so Tha Media Room “lights in” to a two-part blog series with illuminating ways to brighten up your space.
If you aren’t interested in completely overhauling your current media room lighting system, that’s okay. There are other ways to reinvent the bulb just enough to make it feel cool and customized for your next big movie night. At the top of the list are dimmer switches. These bad boys make mood lighting a cinch. Bright, dim or dark, you can adjust these easily-installed switches to achieve the perfect luminosity for the occasion. If you’re snacking while the movie’s on and need to see your food or if it’s a lights-out occasion, dimmer switches are a great way to personalize your space.
Preset lighting is another viable option for media rooms. Similar to the idea of dimmer switches, programming your lighting to immediately switch to a pre-determined level (other than simply on or off) saves time and effort when you’re ready to flip on the show. Remember, natural lighting isn’t media friendly. It inhibits the view of the screen and doesn’t tend to add to a theater ambiance. If you have windows in your media room, consider black out curtains to avoid unwanted rays.
