With a little planning, your dedicated home theater will be the ideal spot for relaxing and watching movies
No movie-watching experience can compare to the one you’ll get in a private home theater. A home cinema is tailor-made to your specifications, and you have complete control over everything, from the content that’s playing, to the seats you’re sitting in, to the temperature in the room. Plus, staying home in Beverly Hills, CA, and spending time with family and loved ones watching movies adds another layer of comfort and relaxation to your theater environment.
At Fuzion3, we’re here to help you make sure your custom home theater installationis everything you imagined it would be. Keep reading to learn the first 3 steps to take to achieve the perfect setup.

1. Invest in the Right AV Equipment
A home theater is where you’ll be viewing the majority of your entertainment, so it’s worthwhile to invest in equipment that will perform well for multiple purposes — watching movies, binging TV shows, catching sports games and playing video games. When it comes to home theater design, choosing high-quality equipment that fits your space’s size and shape is more important than the size of your display screen. If you have a large room, a roll-down 4K projector and screen with Dolby Atmos surround-sound may be the perfect setup. If you have a small room with limited space, a good flatscreen 4K TV with a soundbar can deliver a fantastic audio/video experience.
At Fuzion3, we can help you find the AV installationthat’s right for you. We can also help you optimize your space, streamline your aesthetic and reduce clutter with hidden equipment like in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. We also love installing AV with Future Automation’s beautiful custom mounts and lifts for TVs and projectors. Whatever aesthetic you’re looking for, Future Automation has a solution to elegantly conceal large AV installations: ceiling mounts and drops, lifts, moving panel mechanisms and more.
2. Don’t Forget Other Important Elements!
Quality AV isn’t the only element that leads to a great viewing experience in your home theater. Lighting and seating play an essential role in design and comfort. Dimmable lightshelp set the mood before a movie begins and ease you gently back to reality when the film is over. In-wall recessed lighting or strip lighting under the seats provide soft illumination for people going to the bathroom or kitchen without affecting the movie quality. You can even install fun, color-changing LED lights to invoke a feeling or mood associated with the movie you’re watching.
We highly recommend you work with an integrator like Fuzion3 to install the seating in your theater room. The seating design is more important than you may realize — a poor arrangement can leave you experiencing a bad viewing angle and uneven audio. The right seating is also a significant contributor to your comfort. It’s a good idea to invest in plush, ergonomic theater seating that you’ll be comfortable sitting in for a few hours.
3. Bring It All Together
One of the greatest luxuries of a private home theater is having total control over your experience. With a Savanthome automation system, you can access and control your audio/video, lighting, climate and more using one smart device like a touchscreen, smartphone or remote. Create a custom automated “Start Movie” scene that dims the lights, powers up your sound system and unrolls the projector screen with one button tap on your smart device. Browse your entire movie collection right on the screen and press play to start. During the movie, use your control device to adjust the volume, turn up the room temperatureand turn on soft, dim lights during an intermission.
