Televisions need not dominate media rooms - design solutions to this home theater design dilemma.

Nowadays, the addition of media rooms are all the rage for new home design as well as renovations. A major problem is that he wants to emulate the big movie theater screens and she does not! You can still have that big TV and movie sound experience in your home and have a happy partnership by keeping the following tips in mind when creating a home theater room design.

A concern for most women is that the TV will dominate the media room decor. Ask yourself: should we hide it or flaunt it? You can artfully arrange the room interior decor so that appears to be less of an appliance but more of a work of art. Hide that television behind retractable doors with furnishings especially made for movie entertainment. If budget is no object, build cabinetry on either side of the TV to fill the wall space as well as provide storage to accommodate compact discs, dvd's and stereo components. This will make the television disappear as now looks part of the wall and is not projecting out like a sore thumb in the room.

For that clean, ultra-modern look, hang flat panel televisions on the wall, like a work of art; it will look like it was meant to be part of the interior decor. This is a cheaper alternative as you don't have to buy furniture, but now you can spend excess funds on the television and components. Make sure you provide extra blocking in the walls for support and hide access to the wires that connect to the sound and DVD sytems. For less contrast, blend the TV in further by using dark color schemes in the interior design of the rooms.

So, the TV can be arrranged so that it looks like part of the home theater interior decor. You can enjoy the movie experience in your own custom media room: imagine, no more lineups or expensive popcorn and sodas!
