How big a room do I need to get a real Home Theater experience?
A fair number of our recent projects have been around 18 to 20 feet wide by 25 to 30 feet long and about 11 feet high. But you can get great results with a smaller venue, too. Bear in mind that, for practical purposes, the room is going to “net down” to a smaller footprint than whatever space you can make for it. That’s because you’ll need roughly 6 inches of acoustic treatment on each of the four walls and ceiling. This treatmenta combination of devices designed to absorb, scatter or reflect soundis typically concealed behind panels of acoustically transparent fabric, giving the room a nice tailored/upholstered look.
