Can you design and install your own home theater? Sure, some people do. But if you want a custom home cinema that looks like something where every detail is thought out, from equipment to decor, you should hire a professional home theater designer. We’re not going to cover all the details involved in creating a custom theater in your Alpharetta, GA, home because it would make this blog very long. However, we can cover three areas you might want to think about that can make a significant difference in your theater. 

The three areas involve both sound and visuals, which are two essential elements of the viewing experience. Please keep reading for more!

Home theaters have been around for decades, but how they look and the technologies they contain have changed significantly. Like many other aspects of your home, your theater might need an update. If you've had your Vinings, GA, home for the past 20 years, perhaps you've redone your kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, and light fixtures to keep up with your current lifestyle and tastes. Why should your home theater be any different?

Here are three triggers that might drive a home theater remodel project. Not that you need an excuse!

Once upon a long time ago, there were three TV networks, movies were still on film and in theaters, and you could have as many channels of sound as you wanted as long as it was mono. Clearly, we’ve come a long way in entertainment since the days of a 25-inch living room TV with an antenna.

Today, we have more entertainment to watch and enjoy than we could consume in a lifetime. Thanks to ever-advancing technology, we can create an immersive entertainment experience in the comfort of any home living space. Of course, most people do have a home media room of a sort, from the perfectly functional to the wonderfully wild.

Thanks to technology, recent events, and the way people are doing more at home, the media room is evolving too. Here are three of the most interesting media room trends we’re seeing – is it time to update the one in your Cumming, GA home? Keep reading below!

Maybe you’ve downsized from the big house of the past. Your kids are out of college, and you’re looking to travel more and take care of less at home. But just because you have a smaller space doesn't mean you stopped enjoying your favorite sports, shows, and movies on a large screen or your music and audio on a smaller scale.

While you may not be able to fit a dedicated home theater in your smaller space, you still want a high-quality media experience. Well, you’re in luck! Today's audio-video solutions offer high-quality in tidy and sleek packages so that you can enjoy the pleasures of a home media room without complexity or the need for a large space.

Are you considering a media room for your Cumming, GA home? Congratulations, we think that’s a great idea. We know there’s a lot to think about to design and configure the perfect entertainment space.

While it’s easy to get bogged down with the many details involved in a media room, we think it’s critical to think about three "big picture" questions that can drive many of your choices. You might say, "these are obvious," but we also find that some people think about one aspect and build all of their thoughts from there, whether it's the type of TV or screen, the sound system, or some absolute must-have like a type of speaker. Nail down your thoughts on the questions below, and you'll be on your way to a great home media room solution that’s just right for you.

Without further ado, dive in below!

The “HT” in GHT Group stands for home theater, and it’s been part of our company’s DNA for over 30 years. We have always been huge proponents that the cinema experience is better at home, and we have been proving it by building some of the finest custom home theaters in the Buckhead and Metro Atlanta areas for decades.

The many effects of the current pandemic have made the proposition for a custom home theater stronger than ever. Many commercial theaters have shut down or offer severely limited capacity. As a result, first-run movies are having a very short theater run or simultaneously appearing on streaming platforms at home. Beyond film, the plethora of options for high-quality video entertainment at home seems to expand daily. Given that, why not take the plunge and build your own custom home theater, one that supremely fits you and your family? Explore three compelling reasons below.

From aspiring DIY-ers to the Do-It-For me variety, home theater installations always inspire a flurry of questions. During our consultations, we encourage our clients to ask as many of them as possible. For each question we get, we glean our client's priorities, pain points and concerns.

Our job as the go-to home theater company in Dunwoody, GA and the greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area is to give our clients all the answers they need and guide them along the design and installation process, so the result is their dream viewing environment.

Rarely do we get the same questions from job to job. They tend to be as unique as the client. This blog, though, highlights some of the most common ones as a great starting point for anyone interested in a brand-new home cinema or theater upgrade.

A few weeks ago, we wrote about how video games can help you exercise the latest features of your home theater setup. It's true, some of the best video games take full advantage of 4K, HDR, and the latest immersive sound formats. And we also noted that many movies don't take full advantage of everything your up-to-date theater or media room can do.

However, we didn’t mean to imply that you’ve wasted your money on your 4K HDR Sony projector, or that McIntosh-based Dolby Atmos multi-channel surround system. Indeed, we think that an incredible soundtrack does as much to draw you into a film as fantastic cinematography and special effects. So, we set out to find the best movies to bring a knowing smile to your face that says yes, that Dolby Atmos system was the best entertainment investment ever. And if you don’t have an immersive surround sound system yet, GHT Group is your local Atlanta home theater company you can trust for the job.

Now, on to the top three movies that will put your surround sound – and maybe your ears – through a torture test.

When you think of a home theater, the first thing that comes to mind is the big screen. While today's flat panels are growing to 100-inch sizes and even higher, the most cost-effective way to showcase a giant picture is still through a projector and screen; as long as you have the space.

What might keep someone from having the projector and screen setup? One common reason is that projectors and projection screens work best in darkened settings, and not everyone wants to retreat to a theater-dark room to watch a Netflix show or the night’s Braves game.

Fortunately, one company saw that problem and invented a solution. Screen Innovations is true to its name, designing innovative screens for media rooms and home theaters as well as unique motorized shading solutions for indoor and outdoor spaces.

Screen Innovations’ Black Diamond theater screens are the first optical projection displays that reject ambient light from every direction, making them the perfect choice for any home theater or media room.

So if you have a media setup with a projector – or you are looking into a new home theater installation and would love to watch with the lights on or the shades up – a Black Diamond screen might be just what you need at your Roswell or Metro Atlanta home.
