What, then, can make your personal cinema stand out in this sea of nondescript home theatre setups among your peers? Just add a dash of opulence to your cinematic experience. And make it an experience that can surpass that offered by any movie theatre worth its salt.

For instance, you can have loungers that look more like works of art than something to sit on; gigantic hi-tech screens that are capable of rendering everything you throw at them; speakers that not only deliver god-like sound, but that also boast exquisite levels of craftsmanship; and finally, bespoke lighting that enhances your movie watching experience. There is, truly, a lot you can do to transform your experience— from what you can get in any multiplex, to one that envelops you in the lap of luxury and is customised to your tastes.

To help you along the way, here are a few additions you might consider for your current home theatre to elevate the experience to the next level.
