Make Your Entertainment Room More Than Just a TV Spot

Hopefully you’ve been able to enjoy the summer sun and the outdoors here in Oklahoma or wherever you were able to vacation. Most of us are back home now, but that doesn’t mean the entertainment has to end. If you made one of your rooms in your custom KCI Home an entertainment room—Congratulations! You basically own the crown jewel of “stay-at-home fun.” But here’s the thing… an entertainment room doesn’t have to be just a couch, a big screen, and a popcorn machine (although, let’s be honest, popcorn machines are always a win).

This space is a blank canvas—a glorious, echoing room just begging to be turned into something amazing. And whether you’re aiming for “ultimate chill” or “full-blown social hub,” the possibilities are endless.

Home Theater Heaven

Let’s start with the classic: turn it into a cinema experience so good you’ll never pay for overpriced movie theater candy again.

• Must-have: A projector or giant screen, surround sound, and blackout curtains.
• Add some recliners, twinkle lights for ambiance, and—yes—the popcorn machine.
• Extra credit if you make a “Now Showing” sign for the door.

The Ultimate Game Zone

If you’re the competitive type (or just enjoy some serious Mario Kart marathons), a game-focused entertainment room is the dream.

• Ideas: Big TV for console gaming, a PC setup for the gamers who take it seriously, or even an old-school arcade corner.
• Mix in a foosball or pool table so everyone’s got something to play.
• Install a snack station so you never have to pause the game for chips.

Music & Jam Room

If you’ve got a musical side (or just like pretending you do), your entertainment room could double as a stage.

• Add soundproofing so your neighbors don’t file noise complaints.
• Store instruments, microphones, and maybe even a small recording setup.
• Throw in a karaoke machine for those who “don’t sing in public”… until the second verse hits.

Craft & Creativity Studio

Not all entertainment rooms have to revolve around screens.

• Imagine a bright, organized space with storage for all your creative projects—painting, sewing, scrapbooking, you name it.
• Big tables for spreading out, comfy chairs, and shelves full of colorful supplies.
• Bonus: Your projects can live here without taking over the kitchen table.

Sports Watch Party Central

If you’re the “game day host,” then you know the power of a perfectly set-up sports room.

• Wall-to-wall TVs (because who wants to miss the instant replay?)
• Stadium-style seating or big sectionals for your crew.
• A mini fridge or kegerator for keeping drinks cold, plus a nacho bar because… nachos.

Zen & Relaxation Lounge

Sometimes the best entertainment is no entertainment at all—just a place to recharge.

• Cozy couches, low lighting, soft music, and maybe a bookshelf that makes you feel like you’re in a movie library.
• Perfect for reading, sipping tea, or doing absolutely nothing in style.
