3 Ideas for Small Home Media Room Spaces

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.

Below, see how you can build your dream little media room in your new Woodstock, GA home.

The TV Hub

Some people don't always explore the remarkable range of entertainment apps that come with new smart TVs. The best TVs, like those from Sony and Samsung, include a vast array of video streaming, music, and streaming TV apps. If you have a small space, a large flat-panel TV can serve as your entertainment hub.

With the latest Sony LED models, you can go as big as 100 inches! You’ll have Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, YouTube TV, Spotify, Tidal, and any other type of streaming TV and entertainment. You don't need cable boxes, separate music sources, or other equipment. The smart TV is the source of all your entertainment with the right subscriptions.

Plus, if you want to use your tablets and phones to find content and watch or listen on your media room screen, Airplay and Chromecast support (Sony offers both) make it easy.

Superior Sound

A media room isn't all about the video. You want powerful sound to match the visuals and a space where you can listen to music – with the lyrics on the screen for a more immersive experience. 

Still, you don’t want too much audio equipment taking up space in your small room. Instead, try a slim soundbar like the Sonos Arc that offers excellent stereo and Dolby Atmos surround sound. For a more bespoke solution, the Klipsch Heritage Soundbar and solutions from Leon offer custom-length soundbars that fit your TV for a seamless appearance.

Additionally, the Klipsch Fives offer an all-in-one set of hi-fi stereo speakers for excellent performance from music and movies. These solutions don't require an AV receiver or other audio equipment, making for simple yet high-quality audio solutions.

Dynamic Seating and Furnishings

Without an excess of space, consider a media room that's easy to configure for entertainment. Ottomans can serve as footrests for long movies or food trays for football game watches. Casual chairs can host occasional small friends and family entertainment gatherings. Side tables that adapt easily for snacks and beverages make the room more fun.

While you're considering furnishings, think about additions like motorized shades that make it easier to control ambient light so you can enjoy your media room any time of day.
