I do kitchens and baths, design and remodel, for a living. I used a dark purple, actually more of a plum with great results, but that was a bathroom, there was ceramic tile from the floor to a wall height of four feet , so there was only a four foot tall area that ran from the top of the tile up to the ceiling. You can use dark colors successfully but IMO a whole room done in in dark purple would be overkill and would not look as good as she thinks it would. How about your component wall or another wall in the purple for accent?
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
