Whats a home theater and home theater ideas ? Surprisingly, the term home theater in the 19th century might have been reserved for the upper classes and even royalty. Going back to the 1800’s and before, many royal families had home theaters in their palaces in order to see the latest plays or music being performed. They would invite their subjects and large families to come and enjoy an evening of home theater.

 

These same royal families would compete with other royals in home theater ideas to see who could come up with the most innovative home theater. This was a pretty elaborate and expensive way to entertain people and certainly only for the very wealthy or privileged. The final scene in Hamlet is a perfect example of a Royal home theater and you couldn’t get a more realistic ending – reality TV’s got nothing on it. 

With the advent of cinema, watching elaborate plays or films came within the grasp of much of the population. It quickly became a popular form of entertainment. Each theater tried to outdo it’s competition by making the film experience more real to it’s patrons. So in the early days, they might have had a live piano score to accompany the film (that was silent). Way out ideas like putting electric currents in the cinema goers seats to zap them when a shocking (sorry) scene happened was another outlandish ‘innovation’. Today, things like 3d films or Imax screens are used to improve the cinema goers experience.

 At this stage, home theaters that showed films were still pretty much reserved for people that had a large disposable income. A home theater would be a replica of the movie theaters that people flocked to. The home theater would have a mini projector and a small screen. It may have a few chairs or maybe more. Not many people could afford such a home theater or even thought about it as a way to entertain themselves. People still liked to share the movie going experience with others. They liked to join in the laugh or the scream with other people.

 

With the increase in the quantity of films and entertainment now available. The relatively cheap media to store these forms of entertainment on. And finally, the technology to create a high quality sound and vision experience, the home theater started to take off. People turned on to watching what they wanted when they wanted. Movie attendances declined. Cinema screen sizes got smaller. The home theater went mainstream.

 

Even ten years ago, a home theater was a luxury item that was aimed at people with plenty of money to spend. Nowadays the costs have come down so much that most people can afford some kind of home theater setup.

 

Today

 

Home theater ideas have evolved into what they are today. Everyone would like to be entertained in their homes and what better way then with a home theater. Home theater ideas are in abundance now and companies compete from home theater furniture to sound equipment to high tech screens.

 

It is quite a lucrative business and the company with the most innovative home theater ideas is the company who makes the most money. It is fun to have your own home theater and the ideas that are put into designing them can be very creative. Whether you hire a special home theater company to design your theater or you create your own design, home theater ideas run the gamut from straight forward theater to eccentric and ostentatious creations.
