American consumers don’t realize that the decoration of their family room is key in making the most effective use of the technology of their high definition television or speaker system.
"What this means is that if a customer has not addressed essential design elements, they will not see or hear at the intended optimal levels," says Barbara P. Roth, President of Paradise Production Company and THX Home Theater certified consultant. http://www.DestinationHomeTheater.com.
"Both men and women, single and married alike can really impact their audio and video investment by doing some easy DIY decorating of their living or family room," adds Roth, who is a member of the Interior Design Society and recently launched a DVD — Destination Home Theater. Some design tips include:
— Lighting
— Paint Color
— Accessories
— Window Treatments
Choosing a paint color for your walls is a good weekend DIY project and one of the most beneficial for your home theater. Light from the screen display will reflect on your walls and ceilings and wash out screen contrast so it is imperative to choose a dark neutral color. Pillows act as wonderful absorption materials.
