Best Home Theater Seating Ideas
One of the factors you need to consider is which size of seats do you want in your theater room. You could have individual seating, similar to what you would find at a movie theater, or you could resort to traditional family room/living room seating by having multiple types of sofas. Ultimately, you want to create the most comfortable environment, and that can be done by having single seating, loveseats, sectionals, recliners, sofas, or even convertible sleeper seating.
Once you’ve determine the style/size of seating, you will need to also evaluate what fabric upholstery for your home theater seats is going to be the most comfortable. There are four main types of fabrics that you’ll find on theater seating: leather, fabric, suede, and microsuede. This decision is truly a matter of taste and comfort. Find the fabric that feels that best for you and suits the look to create the best home theater seating placement.

Certain seating options will have stain resistant material options.

Lighting is just as important as the seats.

Do you want a modern feel with bright colored chairs and wall paint with some unique artwork on the walls? Although you can create any look you want, browns, blacks, beiges, and creams are the most universal looks for seating in a home theater. You don’t want the look of your home theater seats to take over the room, when the focus should be whatever is playing on the big screen
