Summary

In this episode we’re talking about home theaters and entertaining spaces, or as people like to call them today, media rooms. There are some great brands out there for carpet that we love, one being Stark, which has really gorgeous authentic designs to its quality and is super fashionable, but they have some tailored options too if you’re a little bit more preppy. There’s a line or sister of Stark called Prestige and they are the exact same designs and they are maybe 40-50% more affordable. We like to use sconces to light up the walls and provide a little bit more atmosphere with a more dim effect. There are some really great sound bars out there now that have really simplified the sound system process, but make sure to get a professional when figuring out the acoustics of your theater or media room to ensure you have the most strategic setup.

Whether that’s finish work and paneling, we usually see wall sconces and theatrics there, and you can get really funky, be it you want to be more formal, or you want it to have more of a young energy, I think that that’s when you skin the room. That’s what that does.” 3:31https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter:https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

1:10.1	spaces or as people like to call them today, medium rooms, multi-purpose rooms. Anyway, a million
1:17.2	million ways to say it but yeah there's a lot. I mean I feel like it kind of comes and changes

1:33.6	Right now as we talk to experts, they're saying that people are kind of going away from the theater
1:38.3	and they're more doing the media room which means they can watch any time of day the room doesn't
1:43.1	have to be dark. Other things can be happening. There's just like games happening, be it like a game
1:47.3	table or like shuffle box board or whatever. It's more interactive. You don't just only have to go
1:52.8	in and sit in a dark room and watch a theater. So however you take your movies, we are here to
