Need help overcoming room issues with new Home Theater


Hello everyone,,

So I finally decided to suck it up and remodel my basement and get rid of the wood trim and white ceiling tiles. I have a decent home theater system but the room was holding me back from having a enjoyable experience. The only problem is, due to animals, part of the remodel includes adding a laminate wood flooring. I know carpet is better but its just not an option. Is a large thick area rug my only option to try to save my sound? This is my main area for all viewing (TV, movies, games) and I don't want to be miserable because of the sound.

Also I planned on painting the ceiling a flat black but the girlfriend and I are debating on the color of the walls. I wanted a gray and she wants a dark purple. I'm not really sold on gray but would a dark purple cause any issues running a Sony VPLHW55ES projector? Any colors (other than bright ones) to avoid? Thanks

I realize this might be out of the blue, but to get the best sound AND picture quality the correct color for room walls is blue. 🦋 Any shade of blue will do. Hey, that rhymes! 🤗 In case you’re wondering the ceiling should be green. Not institutional green like prisons and lunatic asylums. Grass green. 🐸
