Home theater is all about creating a superb cinematic experience at home. What's one thing that can ruin a great film? Bad seats. Even when the sound and visuals are first-rate, an uncomfortable seat that makes your back hurt leads to a subpar experience.

As a professional home theater design company, we encourage folks looking at building or remodeling a home theater to invest in good quality seating. On average, a good guideline is to allocate 10-15% of the overall budget to seating. We also firmly believe that special-purpose home theater seating is superior to other furniture types. Two big reasons are the range of customization options and more robust construction that stands up to many years of binge-watching use.

So, what are the best seating options for your home theater design in Town and Country, MO? Keep reading for three of our favorites below.

Many homes have included a home theater in either a dedicated room or a living area for an engaging entertainment experience. But if there's one thing that's a constant, it's that technology moves quickly. With the transition to digital formats for audio and video, technology has moved even faster.

While an older home theater might be perfectly functional, you might be surprised at the improvements in audio and video in just the past five years.  In this timeframe, high-resolution projectors with much more dynamic contrast and color capabilities - exemplified by HDR (high dynamic range) formats – have become widely available and more affordable, and immersive audio such as Dolby Atmos can be found in a wide range of sound equipment.
