Theater room input

[KentuckyWildcat]

I'm finishing my own basement that should be done sometime around the year 2525 if man is still alive..... But I am at a point where I need to make a decision. Which would you prefer?

Option 1: 2 couches, one in front of the other with one elevated stadium style seating.

or

Option 2: One of the modular sectional couch deals that you can configure however you wish? I'm not exactly sure what those are called.

I need to decide soon if I need to build the elevated part for the stadium seating. Option 1 is additional work with perhaps an odd step up. Option 2 seems to be a lot more money.

If you can afford option 1 go for it. You are taking the time and money to build a theater room. Might as well do it right, otherwise you will always second guess yourself

What is the size and shape of the room? I'd do stadium seating unless it is wide, and then I'd go sectional couching. Or you could do recliners. That's what "the cool kids" are doing these days.

The room would be narrow vs wide. The back of the back couch would be about 22 ft from the screen wall. If I do 2 couches they will be the standard couches that recline.

Pedro is probably right that I would 2nd guess myself. But something about the sectional is suddenly appealing.

Sectional seating IMO. Just like it better.

FWIW i have a blue leather sectional media room couch setup in inventory. Not sure when it will go to auction, but I have sold a few of them and prefer that setup. i am no big media room guy but i've been in a few before we take them to auction, prefer sectional layouts.

I have a sectional theater. Its a "C" shaped couch with cup holders for each of the four seats, each of which recline. Also two large compartments between seats for storage such as remotes, etc. Got mine at rooms to go. Was around $1200

Link has it at $1700 but I got it on sale, I guess. That or I used my good looks for an extra discount

Maybe I can get you to buy it for me? They might charge me extra.

King, mine will definitely be closer to the redneck home theater :D

In all seriousness, it will be a decent room. It will be plain but decent. Just a couch or two and a screen. Carpet squares, drop ceiling, and probably crown molding.
