How to Create a Posh Private Cinema Space
Take Movie Watching to the Next Level with These Home Theater System Upgrades
The home theater craze is in full swing this year. And it should be! Since people are spending more time at home, they need a way to enjoy a complete movie-theater experience where they are. Some homeowners think they can install a home theater on their own. They get an “A” for effort, but unfortunately, the end-product doesn’t usually align with their grand vision. While they may have mounted a 4K TV and installed a soundbar, the movie-theater experience falls flat.
Whether you aren’t happy with your DIY theater or you don’t have one at all, Control Freaks Hawaii knows how to create the private cinema space of your dreams in your Wailea, HI, home. Read our blog to learn about important home theater system upgrades that make you feel like you’re at the movies.

Upgrade to 4K UHD TV with HDR
You may ask yourself, “I’ve got a 4K TV, so why should I upgrade?” Likely, the 4K TV you purchased a few years ago can’t compete with the image quality of the new 4Ks. Today’s 4K TVs come in ultra-high-definition (UHD) with high-dynamic-range (HDR) imaging. The difference between old 4Ks and new ones is noticeable.
The new 4K TVs use advanced technologies and extremely fast processing speeds to reveal a full range of color, brightness, and detail you’ve never seen before. You’ll go from simply watching a movie in your home theater to experiencing it! In addition to upgrading your TV, why not get a bigger one too? Most 4K TVs are available in sizes as large as 85”. However, if you want to go even bigger, a 4K projector/screen system casts crystal-clear images as large as 120”.
Surround Yourself with Hi-Fi Audio
Think about watching a movie in the theaters. What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Probably the large screen. However, there’s another important component that makes the film come alive: the audio. The music, sound effects, and dialogue surround you. They don’t only come from the screen. A surround-sound system in your home theater creates the fully immersive experience you crave.
After all, you want to feel your room rumble as the jets fly by on the screen. If you’re enjoying a Harry Potter marathon, the musical score should completely fill your theater space – creating a magical experience. A true surround-sound system with wall speakers, ceiling speakers, and subwoofers transforms how you enjoy movies, TV shows, and live games.
Add Lighting and Ambiance
Finally, the most forgotten home theater upgrades – but the most important – are the lights and theater decor. In order to give your private cinema authentic theater charm, it needs the right lighting design. If you step into your home theater and it looks like any other room in the house, then it’s not really a home theater. To create an impressive theater space, you must add smart lighting, such as wall lights, floor lights, or fiber optic lighting – all designed to give the room personality.
Best of all, with a smart home system, you have complete lighting control at your fingertips. Set a “movie scene,” press an icon on your touchpad, and then all the technologies in your theater respond to your command. The motorized shades lower or raise, the lights adjust, and your AV system gets ready for the show. Also, don’t forget other important items, such as theater seating, flooring, and wall décor. They ensure your private cinema space is a unique escape from the rest of your home.
