How to Bring Tiered Seating to Your Private Cinema 

When you walk into a commercial movie theater, you’ll likely look up at many rows of elevated seats. Some cinemas are large (like AMC), while indie theaters are smaller. But wherever you sit, you’ll have a clear view of the screen thanks to the raised elevation. Even if the person in front of you is wearing a pom-pom hat or tall ponytail, you should still be able to see the movie without distraction.  

The same can be true of home theaters, but many homeowners skip elevated seating. If you’d like to have more than one row of theater seating, it’s a good idea to add an elevated platform for a comfortable experience.

But what would our Zionsville, IN, home look like without the right lighting design? How would we feel without the natural light peering through our windows and the diffuse ambient light that filters through our room?

The Secret to Exceptional Lighting Design

Discover How the Premier Group Can Bring Your Home Lighting Design to Life

As evident in the many pictures in Architectural Digest, lighting design plays a big part in a home's ultimate aesthetics. Leaf through the magazine, and you'll see picture after picture of sunlight streaming through partially open windows, interior lights illuminating fine works of art, and well-positioned light creating a specific mood. 

As Louis Kahn, one of the greatest 20th-century architects, said, “A room is not a room without natural light.” Let’s follow that quote up with the famous New York interior decorator Bill Baldwin’s statement, “Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style.”

As lighting design and home automation experts serving Fishers, IN, we hold both of those beliefs. If used correctly, natural light can make an “okay” home extraordinary, and an essential part of the design process is the collaboration between the client and the designer. Ultimately, your vision inspires our design, and our design and experience in the latest technology add to your vision.

Let’s explore the possibilities.
