There was a time when a home theater installation was considered a luxury addition, found only in prestigious homes of the extremely wealthy. Today, according to Grandview Research Firm, over 40% of homes in the U.S. have some type of home cinema. 

While many of these homes contain dedicated home theaters that offer better sound, visuals, seating, and overall experience than commercial cinemas, others are geared toward multi-purpose entertainment. Also known as media rooms, they’re designed with an immersive sound system that caters to social gatherings, family movie nights, and having friends over for the big game. 

And while they may possess the 4K HDR projector and handcrafted movie screen, many opt for hidden TVs or ultra-short-throw projectors that make it easy to transform a room for its many purposes. Let’s explore what a home theater installation entails and the many options available for homeowners in Dallas, TX. 

A private home cinema should offer the immersive experience you crave. But an all-encompassing audio-video experience isn’t so easy to replicate in your own Dallas, TX home. When you watch your favorite films and shows via a standard media setup, it pales in comparison to a commercial theater.

With a professional home theater installation, you can watch, hear, and feel every stunning detail as it unfolds on the big screen. So what makes a cinema installation and design from experts essential for your project? Keep reading below to learn why working with our team at Custom Media is a must.
