Should Home Theaters Have Light Or Dark Walls

Do dark walls matter.

Should home theaters have light or dark walls.

Use a flat no glare paint. Paint the home theater a dark color but don t use a gloss semi gloss or satin finish paint. To make the picture in your theater room really pop you ll want a dark color for both the walls and the ceiling. When it comes to the walls and ceiling the goal is to not use anything that would distract from the room s focal point the screen.

Home theaters even benefit from darker ceilings near the screen. My room is a mostly dedicated theater room but it also serves as a sometimes guest bedroom. Colors such as grey dark brown burgundy or black are good choices. Parts are in the description.

It s time for the theater build. Home theater lighting can be controlled by using a dark colored paint for the walls. But no matter how dedicated a movie viewer you are you probably don t want. I recently upgraded the video aspects of my home theater to include a 100 screen and projector and in a word its awesome.

But in home theaters light reflection is not desirable. If you re ready to start putting your home theater room together one element that has to be right is the paint color you choose for the walls and or ceiling. Cover walls with acoustic fabric like in movie theaters.
