Home Theater PicturesAn important aspect in home theater design is ensuring you get the right 'look-and-feel' that would help you get better immersed into the movie action. You need to develop your home theater room design concept to come up with the right room ambience. This applies to any home theater, from the dedicated home theater room, to a bedroom or living-room installation. A great way to set your imagination in motion when designing a home theater, is to have a look at what others have done when building their home theater. We are not saying that looking at home theater pictures of those who have already gone through the process is enough. But... It is a sure fact that taking a look at home theater pictures is a great way to help get your creativity into action. For this purpose, we are setting up a visitor's gallery for home theater pictures submitted by some of our site visitors. This should serve as a source of great ideas when planning your dream home theater. In addition, we would like to give our readers the opportunity to show off their home theater masterpiece on our site by taking part in our 'Best Home Theater' contest. Don't know where to start with your home theater design? No problem, help is on the way! We have a comprehensive set of home theater guides available under the 'Home Theater Design' section of the site that takes you through the various steps of home theater design - from basic room design considerations such as budgeting, space, acoustics and lighting, to room decor, seating, home theater wiring, equipment placement, and more. In the meantime, try also to get hold of a good book. A great resource is the book by Krissy Rushing Home Theater Design - Planning and Decorating Media-Savvy Interiors. It guides you through the necessary steps to create a home theater within the limitations of available space. It examines space, acoustics, functionality, lifestyle, and overall aesthetics, to help you plan and design a beautiful and comfortable home theater that is just right for you.
Show off your home theater on Practical Home Theater Guide by taking part in our 'Best Home Theater' contest. It does not take much to come up with an interesting description and a great home theater picture. And... by sharing your home theater, you will also help inspire others in their efforts when designing their home theater masterpiece. What will you get in return?The best entry will be featured on our Home Page for a whole month as the 'Best Home Theater'. But there is more... For U.S. residents: We are giving a free one year subscription to two of the most popular home theater magazines, Home Theater and Electronic House, to that entry which in our opinion will be the best submission. Home Theater is probably the best known home theater magazine and comes with loads of useful information from equipment centered reviews to buyer's guides and useful tips. Electronic House is a refreshing publication and makes a good choice of reading material if you want to keep up with the latest technology to anything that relates to the connected home.
In the meantime, site visitors will be able to comment and rate your home theater contribution. It will surely be fun to watch the comments it gets from your friends, family members, and any one of the more than 150,000 unique site visitors that come to Practical Home Theater Guide every month.

Just fill in the form below, enter the name of your home theater, enter a good description, choose a great picture of your home theater to upload on our site, fill the rest of the details, and then click on the submit button.
