A media room is the command control of all electronic media in a house, with satellite and internet boxes as well as central stereo systems all neatly organised in one, super gracious, entertaining place. 

So if you have a spare room and you are wondering how to put it to use, wonder no more because today we at homify are going to give you five reasons why you should build a separate media room with your spare room, starting with the ability to install your dream home movie theatre lighting scheme!

1. Lighting and privacy

Too often, we are forced to watch our favourite flicks and shows under the odd lights of the adjacent kitchen, bedrooms or hallways as others in the house tend to tasks other than entertainment. 

The virtue of a separate media room is that it provides privacy, and also the opportunity to install the ultimate light pattern you prefer for watching the tube, playing video games, talking on Skype or listening to music. And the sheer range of fun and fairly epic lighting options for media rooms means you are sure to find your match.

2. Sleep better

One of the most common problems people today have is bringing their electronic media--laptops, mainly--into bed with them, thus adversely impacting their sleep--and their life. So here we present perhaps an unexpected benefit of building a separate media room: peace, quiet and better sleep. 

Of course, this is assuming you make it into bed instead of falling asleep in the media room, but once you make it into bed, you are sure to sleep much more deeply because you have left the light of the silver screen in the other room--where it belongs.

3. Better sound, all around

When you have a separate media room, you can get full, high-quality sound that you rarely get if your television is placed simply near the living room where, even if you have full sound capacity, your using it without disturbing other parts of the house is unlikely. In a separate media room, you simply add extra sound insulation, install all the speakers you have been dreaming to or not using, and enjoy your very own, at-home theatre-quality media experience.

An added feature recommended for the serious media lovers is rigging up your entire house speaker system through the one media room, with speakers in every room of the house, centrally controlled in the media room, so you can hear your favourite sonata while you clean the house or reorganise your bookshelves.

4. More room for guests

A proper media room means you can outfit your entertainment area with a larger amount of seating so you can have guests over to watch your favourite season finale, without the hassle of pulling up a spare kitchen chair or stool. 

From lush, wrap around sectionals to proper theatre seating in rows, choosing your media seating may be one of the most fun parts of building your new media room, while entertaining somewhat envious guests is sure to be the best part of having your new media room.

5. Work better

When your media and entertainment is literally separate from other areas in your home, just like with your bedroom, you will be less distracted by it. This is because our enjoyment of media should have a time and a place – with a dedicated room for it. Otherwise our work or non-media projects end up getting put off because our kitchen or bedroom televisions draw us in, taking our focus away. 

So all told, having a separate, top-notch media room, paired with a life/entertainment balance and more privacy, kind of makes you wonder: why not make that spare room a separate media room?
