Media rooms and home theaters are an increasingly popular feature in homes. Two major benefits are that they boost a home’s entertainment value as well as its potential resale value. If you’re planning to install a media room in your home but space is limited, you’ll want to explore these small media room design ideas to ensure you maximize the square footage you have to work with and provide a comfortable and entertaining space for family members and guests.
Prior to deciding on the small media room design that’s right for your home, you’ll need to decide on a location for this entertainment hub. The most important features of a media room are light and sound—it’s important to place your media room in the space where you’ll have as much control as possible over these key elements. For this reason, popular locations for small media rooms are basements, adjacent to living rooms, or in spare guest bedrooms—places that are self-contained, quiet, and won’t interfere with the home’s day-to-day operation when in use.
