We love home theaters.  There’s nothing like settling in to watch a great movie on a large screen with incredible sound to match. But today’s home theaters are no longer rooms that are built to resemble commercial movie theaters.  Today’s homeowners are doing more than watching movies in their home theaters – they’re binge-watching Netflix shows, multiple NFL games on Sundays, and playing music videos as background in a media/game room. 

Home theater design is evolving to meet multiple entertainment purposes. Of course, you can still build the completely enclosed, windowless theater in your walkout basement room complete with movie-themed décor and comfortable theater seating.  But the theater can be in any room you want to make it, and today’s technology allows more  flexibility than ever in designing the perfect home theater or media room.  Take a look at five current trends in home theater design to make any room into a state-of-the-art entertainment oasis in Portland.

One of the most popular additions to homes throughout the Portland, Oregon area these days is undoubtedly a dedicated home theater. Far more than just a TV and surround sound setup, a dedicated theater is a room with one single purpose: immersing you in whatever film you’re watching.

A theater room is also the perfect opportunity to showcase your personality and hone in on a particular theme that’s important to you. To help illustrate the versatility of a theater room, here are our five favorite home theater designs.
