Man cave. Dude den. Command Center. These are existent presumption utilized to picture modern movie and gaming rooms—fortresses of solitude (that’s different one) wherever you tin retreat, relax, and rewatch a movie you’ve seen 40 times. But this clip successful 4K!
I’ve ne'er cared for “man cave” oregon “bro zone” oregon akin monikers. My penchant is “parlour” with a “u” due to the fact that it invokes a much sophisticated, elegant enclave for escape—the benignant of spot wherever you tin unwind successful a high-back Chesterfield seat with a snifter of iced Cointreau portion Dooley Wilson sings “As Time Goes By.”
That’s conscionable my vision. Yours tin beryllium thing you want, and if you’re dreaming of the cleanable movie and gaming room, these are the essentials:
Draw attraction with tiny details
This is your escape, truthful you privation it to consciousness uniquely you. Wall décor tin see creation you make yourself oregon pieces that bespeak your personality. There’s nary shame successful covering the walls successful movie posters, conscionable marque definite they’re framed properly. Scatter the remainder of the country with eye-catching and thought-provoking items, similar Dwayne Johnson’s autobiography, The Rock Says… (for the jokes!) oregon Joanna Woolfolk’s Sexual Astrology, the eventual java array speech starter.
Sit connected it
A premium gaming setup requires a premium seat, preferably six to 9 feet from your screen. Herman Miller, Secretlab, and RESPAWN are among the astir well-regarded makers of ergonomic gaming chairs. But if watching movies and sipping cocktails similar a polished, stand-up national is what you prefer, spell for the aforementioned Chesterfield oregon thing mid-century modern. If you’re successful big mode, put successful a 2nd seat and a tiny Tuxedo sofa. Keep the brochure adjacent truthful you tin boast astir the comfort, style, and functionality earlier directing everyone’s attraction to that evening’s screening of Deadpool & Wolverine.
Sights and sounds
When you’re buying successful this category, hole to perceive oregon work the connection “immersive.” A lot. The champion media country setups person a high-quality dependable strategy — deliberation Dolby Atmos oregon 5.1 (five speakers and a subwoofer) oregon 7.1 situation sound. For your screen, opt for a wall-mounted 75-inch (‘cause you’re worthy it) show with a precocious refresh complaint and debased input lag for gaming. Make definite to spell with ambient lighting for ambiance and, importantly, minimal glare.
Choose your borders
For the cleanable media room, you indispensable prioritize design, starting with your walls and floor. Why? Acoustics. Your bosom whitethorn beryllium acceptable connected a azygous colour (don’t take black) oregon wood paneling (Midwest basement den?), but effort a damask signifier oregon textured wallpaper. Textured surfaces are preferable for dependable absorption, and carpeting, a propulsion rug and adjacent curtains tin assistance trim echo. You tin spell further with bass traps and foam treatments, if you insist. But you’re making a media room, not a signaling studio.
