Did you know that building a home theatre is possible under $5000?
When it comes to designing a home theatre, a common misconception is an ample space and budget.
But, you can buy a couple of things and have a well-functional home theatre. All you need is:

- A Sound Bar
- A TV (Optional)
- And a seating arrangement
You get tons of options for sound systems and screens. And as far as the seating is concerned, fabric home theater seating is super comfortable and affordable.
That’s it. With those three things, you will have your little home theatre. Bet your friends will love it, and neighbors will get jealous.
So Here are Some Ideas for a Decent Home Theatre:
- A Sound System
To get a theatre-like experience, you’ll need a good sound system. The word sound system seems pretty heavy and costly, but it’s not.

These days, good quality wireless soundbars are available in the range of $180 to $500. In addition, you can check for popular brands to get a soundbar that fits your choice.
Ideally, it would help if you kept a soundbar right on the TV Table at the edge. That way, the sound won’t bounce and will get equally spread in the room.
If you can spend a little extra, an entire surround sound system would come under $1500. But a soundbar would be enough too.
Quick Tip: If you live in a society where the high volume could be a problem, keep wireless headphones handy.
2. A Screen

Now, a screen is something where you have more options. One of the options is literally a wall of your room. That’s all you need.
But if you want to have a Television set that you can casually use, then a 55-inch TV would be perfect.
You can get a good QLED TV with a 55-inch screen for around $500. Some TVs even have better quality inbuilt speakers. So you might not have to spend on the soundbar.

While a TV is a great Add-on to your entertainment room, you can use an entire wall as a screen.
Imagine how cool it would feel to watch a movie on the biggest possible screen in your room?
That brings us to the projectors.

3. A Projector
If you like the idea of a wall screen instead of a TV, a projector is your buddy. But, again, decent-quality projectors are available in the range of $500 to $1500.
And as projectors are compact, you can carry them anywhere. That means you and your friends can get one projector and plan movie nights at each other’s houses. That’s an idea.

These days, projectors do come with inbuilt streaming apps. So you can connect it with wifi and stream unlimited movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.
Between smart TV and a portable smart projector, you can choose whatever feels right to you. Either way, your movie night is going to be awesome.
4. Seating Arrangements

The theatre-like seating arrangement is a cherry on top of the above setup.
Sure, you can hop on a sofa set and enjoy the movie. But a proper fabric theatre seating arrangement complements the home theatre room. It’s stylish, comfortable, and aesthetic.
You and your movie buddy could be next to Joey and Chandler obsessing over a couple of recliners.
A good-quality leather fabric 3-seater theatre sofa comes in the range of $1399 to $2699 at Watson’s online furniture store.

Or you can get artificial 4-seat theatre recliners for around $2529.
You can also get a small table to keep popcorn, juices, and food in front of the seating arrangement.
5. Room Decor

To complete the setup, you’ll need one more thing. Some blackout curtains to stop any external lights. Curtains are not at all expensive, just 30-35 bucks, and you are good to go.
If you plan movies at night time, then the curtains won’t be as much a problem.
But for daytime, get some blackout curtains to have a perfect movie effect.
