Turn Any Room into a Media Room with the Latest Hidden Technology
As technology advances, some homeowners are drifting away from designated home theaters and welcoming home media rooms. These families turn dens, living rooms, great rooms, and even basements into multipurpose entertainment areas.
These spaces are designed for movie nights, sporting events, listening to high-fidelity audio, and video game marathons. Gone are hushed tones and tiered movie seating. In its place are sectionals and loveseats, hidden technology, and a space where friends and family gather for the ultimate in entertainment.
Let’s explore the makings of a media room for your Memphis, TN, home.

The Room
As we mentioned, almost any room can be turned into a media room. This is due, in part, to the latest hidden technology that keeps audio-video equipment tucked away until ready for use. Ultra-short-throw projectors, retractable screens, and large 4K HDR TVs that hide in ceilings, floors, panels, and furniture.
Today's flat-screen TV displays can even transform into works of art or photographs when not in use. The speakers for these incredible entertainment spaces may also hide from view, with nearly invisible in-wall and in-ceiling speakers delivering high-fidelity surround sound.
This means that living rooms and great rooms can maintain their aesthetics and home design until it’s time for entertainment. Then, with one tap on a touchscreen or in-wall keypad, your equipment appears.
The Experience
These rooms are meant for almost any activity. The audio system offers ambient music during family game nights, and the open space allows family members to pull up a workout video or exercise to their favorite streaming playlist. Some clients add a few gaming chairs, and others incorporate pool tables or arcade games.
When it's time for the movies, you'll experience lifelike images and brilliant colors from the latest OLED and HDR TVs or 4K projectors. One of our partners, Sony, offers some of the best projectors on the market, including an ultra-short-short throw projector for smaller rooms that want the big-screen experience. With crystal-clear pictures and engulfing surround sound, you experience the immersive movie experience that suspends disbelief and takes you to another place in time.
The Design
There are about as many different designs as there are families with media rooms. At HomeTroniX, every entertainment space is unique to our clients' lifestyles, needs, and dreams. Strategically installed dynamic LED lights that change to every shade in the visible light spectrum can create different and enchanting settings for various occasions. Is it a game day? Transform your lights to the color of your favorite team.
When integrated with your home automation system, you control your AV equipment, lighting, shades, and climate from the same user-friendly platform. Tap the “Movie Night” icon on the touchscreen, and your shades lower, the lights dim, the temperature adjusts, and your TV descends from the ceiling or appears from behind a painting.
At HomeTroniX, we combine the latest smart home automation technology with high-performance audio and video to provide our clients with the best entertainment and ease of living. To learn more about home media rooms or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact HomeTroniX today.
