So you are ready to set up your home entertainment room. When doing so there are several things that you should consider to make the room both cost efficient and cool. There are so many choices available for all of the components that will go into the design of your room. You will not want to just go out and buy the first system you see. Take some time and effort to decide what is right for you and your home. So where do you start?

The first step would be to decide how much you want to spend. Most of us think that to get the "best" components we will have to spend a great deal of money. This is not always the case. You can find components that are considered outdated technology (a few months old in some cases) for a reasonable price.

Next would be to draw a floor plan. In doing so, make sure that you map out all of your electrical outlets. Start by determining the best position for the television. Then move on to seating, speakers and even lighting for the best experience possible. Good rooms have two main aspects, the electronic equipment and the space that the equipment occupies.

A basic home theater system is made up of 3 basic components. A television, DVD or Blu Ray player and speakers. You can add many other components, but this is the minimum to get you started. Which brands are best, do I want DVD or Blu Ray and do I want 3 speakers or 5? You can answer these questions by doing some research. The internet is filled with websites that review hundreds of products. Go to your local electronics store. Talk to your neighbors and friends to see what they have and how they like theirs.

Another aspect of your home entertainment room will be the furniture. We are not only talking about the couch and chairs, but the television and speaker stands that you may want to purchase. Again, you can do your homework and find the best deals and brands for your needs.

This may seem more trouble than it is worth. Trust me, the more research you do on the front side of this project, the better off that you will be.

Don't forget the popcorn. Thanks
