Without in-person sporting events, concerts, or trips to the movie theater, our usual entertainment habits have been significantly restricted. We’re spending more time at home with family, so why not use this period to upgrade to higher quality home entertainment?

When the home theater started becoming popular in the 1990s, many of them looked to emulate a scaled down version of nostalgic movie theaters.  Twenty years ago, we did not have nearly as many content options as we do today.  With the advent of streaming content over the Internet, we do much more than watch movies in our home theaters – we’re binge-watching Netflix shows, multiple college and NFL football games on weekends, and playing the latest music videos and funny clips from YouTube on the big screen.

Home theaters and media rooms are evolving to meet today’s changing entertainment purposes. Of course, you can still build a traditional theater in your McKinney home with movie-themed décor and recliner theater seating. But today’s technology allows more flexibility than ever in designing a custom media room, and the theater can be in practically any room you want it to be.   

Let’s take a closer look at the latest trends in home theater and media rooms in the Dallas metroplex area to convert any space into the perfect space to enjoy your favorite movies or the Cowboys.
