Here at Hooked Up Installs we identify the appropriate entertainment products for all kinds of homeowners (and homeowners’ budgets) and help install them the correct way. This means that we talk extensively with clients about what their needs and requirements are; but of course, we also look for inspiration elsewhere: from other homeowners – and from the unique ways they have designed their own home theaters.
So let’s check out several home theaters in hopes of inspiring you to think of what can be done in your own home. Some are decidedly geeky, some elegant, some cozy and romantic; all of them are beautiful.

Forget love seats. For ultimate cuddling atmosphere, how about filling your home theater with pillows? We like the elegant color coordination and the matching red curtains. And, with that understated and non-intrusive audio system, the home theater is perfect for a Saturday night in, watching a romantic flick with your loved one.

Okay, this is really obscene. But it is also really awesome. With a home theater like this, which comes with an 18 x 10 ft. motion picture screen, you can transform your simple DVD watching routine into a spectacular entertainment experience. The owner, Jeremy Kipnis, refers to his 8.8-channel audio system as the “greatest show on earth”. And we bet it looks and sounds like it!

Okay, so let’s say you love the outdoors. (Who doesn’t?) It doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your favorite movies while lounging in your sundeck under the sunshine. Check out this outdoor home theater in Reno, Nevada: a double plasma setup built into a brick wall, with full surround sound system and an outdoor kitchen. (Why go back inside for popcorn?)

Some homeowners prefer futuristic over everything else. So here’s an appropriate – and definitely mind-blowing – setup. The low central glass table is a nice touch, kind of like the control panel of a space craft in your favorite sci-fi movie.

This $30,000 home theater setup was inspired by the “Pirates of the Caribbean”, and boy, we can’t think of a better tribute to both the famous Disney ride and the movie. The pirate theater consists of a 16:9 screen and six five-foot arches with murals painted by a 13-year-old artist. Did we tell you that the equally detailed lobby is called Laffite’s Landing?

We’re just blown away by this beautiful home theater, one that features actual seats from Radio City, carefully selected carpet that matches the whole interior, and – in case you haven’t noticed – thick acrylic windows that look out into a 98,000-gallon pool. Oh yeah: the large screen is also a pretty sweet component.

If elegant and classy is what you’re looking for, then a home theater like this might give you some inspiration. That huge rear projection television serves as the graceful centerpiece of the gorgeously trimmed, woodworked, and fabricated interiors. There’s a hidden surround sound system in there, too.

It’s vaudeville, Broadway, and Victorian all rolled into one, and yet this sophisticated home theater setup looks as simple and cozy as any. Don’t just marvel at the curtains that open up to an elevated screen; check out the chandelier, too.
