Basements often receive a bad reputation because this space is known as damp and uninviting not really a place you would want to spend your time. And deciding how you will use your basement will determine how you approach design. Basically, there is no right or wrong when setting up your basement space, but you need to focus on what you want most. All you need is to decide your highest priority based on your budget and the size of your basement.

If you want to create your own home theater in your basement, consider not putting viewing screens near a window. If it’s possible, create platform seating to increase visibility just like in a movie theater, and for speaker placement and proper distances from seating before settling on a spatial arrangement, consult with a home theater expert or audio/video retailer. To dampen sound, insulate the walls of a media room, not just the exterior walls, to dampen sound. Now if you know the basic tips before make your own basement home theater, it is time to check out these 50 basement home theater design ideas to enjoy your movie time with family and friends to inspire you below.
