Seat selection
To properly place the sofa in a room with a wide screen, you should follow certain guidelines. When choosing a place for furniture, you need to consider the shape. Some models should be placed in a specific part of the room (for example, corner models are placed in the corner of the room).
However, depending on the design of the room, there may be exceptions. In this case a straight sofa can stand not under the wall, but in the center of the room, in front of the TV. Some people prefer to put several straight models to the side of the TV, placing them diagonally.

To watch movies, comfortable and safe for sight, there must be the necessary distance between the sofa and the screen. The larger the TV, the more free space must be left between the multimedia system and the furniture.
You can find out the exact parliaments in the store where the cinema was purchased, or in the instruction manual.

The location option depends on the number of pieces of furniture. If one large sofa is chosen for a spacious room, it is better to place it in the center of the room, opposite the TV. Several small models can be placed in different parts of the room, for example - one in the center and 2 sofas on the tanks from the screen.
Designers recommend experimenting with free space in the room. Choose several options that you liked, take measurements of the room and sketch on paper the future location of the furniture.

Types of Home Cinema Sofas
The growing consumer demand has led to the emergence of a large number of sofa models. Each of the options has certain characteristics and is best suited for the design of a specific location.
For setting up a home theater, the options below are more suitable.
- Straight sofa. This model is versatile and is perfect for any part of the house. Due to its simple form, it will perfectly fit into any interior. Furniture can be placed in the center of the room, opposite the screen or near the wall, back to back. This option is often chosen if the home theater is set up in a small room.
If a special room with a multi-level floor is allocated for the multimedia center, several straight sofas can be installed in the room. Just like in an ordinary movie theater.

These are the most widely used models that today's buyers choose for home theaters. Semicircular and island models are also used, but much less often.
How to choose?
The first thing to look for when choosing home theater furniture is the size of the model. After placing it, there should be enough free space in the room for comfortable movement and placement of other interior elements. You need to make all the necessary measurements, especially if you are looking for an option for a small room.
The next criterion is comfort in use. Pay attention to the filling and upholstery. Make sure the back of the sofa is high enough and the seats have the required rigidity... The sofa should be comfortable for all family members and guests, regardless of their weight and height.
It is recommended to opt for models with upholstery made from natural materials.

An important characteristic when choosing is the cost... For most buyers, price is the determining factor. In order not to overpay for the chosen model, carefully evaluate the catalogs of several stores. The same sofa can cost differently.
Consider the design in which the room is decorated and choose furniture in the same style. Then all items in the interior will look harmonious and attractive.
