Lighting fixtures can make all the different, like this room that is simple yet stunning. The high ceiling opens up the space and the white chandeliers create a modern, bright feel without being overdone. Plus, the splash of vibrant purple on the wall highlights the TV without blinding your vision.

Talk about making a statement. Not only is this media space designed after an elaborate, old-school theater (those masks certainly add some drama!) but the ceiling itself is a focal point. The entire theme shifts seamlessly upward to the elaborate medallion, which seems to gather the room into a stunning finish. Now on with the show!

The Color Wheel Part 2 of 2

This media room is bold! Orange is most certainly the color here, as it’s seen from the ceiling to the walls, the artwork, the sofa and even the flooring. The key to creating a room that’s focused on all one color is to break it up with a few thoughtfully placed pieces, like these small tables, the light fixture, the mirror and the art. By bringing in subtle hints of complimentary shades, the main hue becomes a statement color rather than an overwhelming one.



For a casual yet colorful touch, focus on only one or two main items in this room. This media space is created from a taupe color base and is refreshingly brightened up with turquoise curtains and a sofa. Both of these are very close in color, if not the same color, creating unity even though they are the only bright objects in the room.



Whether you simply can’t decide on a color you like or you’re a minimalist at heart, white is always a great go-to resource. It’s chic and classy and will never go out of style. Plus, it’s easy to match—white is white is white! This media room changes things up just slightly with cream-colored sofas, but an all-white setup can be crisp and airy. Just don’t serve any red wine!

The Color Wheel - Part 1 of 2

We’ve talked about how to decorate your media room, how to showcase (or hide) the TV when it is not in use, and even how to transform your garage into a priceless media space that looks as if it was always meant to be there. But what about color themes? Aside from obvious choices that have to do with sports teams or university logos, there are a million color options out there in which to decorate your media room. It can be the foundation for the space or simply used as an accent color. Bright or bold hues are an unexpected “pop” when it comes to decorating a specified area and can really take your media room to the next level. A well-appointed throw pillow there, vase here or a chicly painted wall can bring everything together for a unique, cohesive look. Take your media room from drab to fab with these tips and photos from the experts at your local media room resource!



We’ll ease into the topic with this simple color-themed media room, where the main shades come from the off-white plush furniture and the rich brown tones of the wooden media center. It’s chic and elegant, but without being overdone or too bold. If you’re trying to mesh your media room’s design with other areas of your house, this type of look can be a great option.



In this beautifully done room, purple is the dominant accent color, which pairs well with the white base. The entertainment center, the sofa, the ceiling and the white in the rug all create a cohesive feel, while the purple brightens up the space through throw pillows, the rug and the painted wall.

Themes and Schemes - Part 1

When setting out to create a customized media room, one of the key things to consider is your overall theme. This will set the tone for everything you intend to incorporate into the space, especially your furniture and seating. Not only will you take the size of the room into account, but also what activities you plan to concentrate on (family media viewing, sports, entertaining, etc.). This affects the type of layout you want to achieve—perhaps one that’s easily maneuverable or one that features stadium-like theater seats. It’s all about personalization and Tha Media Room is here to walk you through several theme ideas to get the creative juices flowing!

Sports
Teams out there are a dime or dozen, and make great themes for media spaces! Whether it’s your alma mater or your die-hard NFL or NBA team, you can make it as elaborate or simple as you wish! It’s all in the details.




Rustic or Country
Not every media room has to be slick and contemporary. If this is your home’s design aesthetic, then go for it! And no, it doesn’t mean you have to watch old Westerns all day.
