#1 Give it a Cinematic Feel With Exciting Wall Arts

Give your home theater a cinematic feel and character with wall arts. The wall arts like canvas, posters, etc., look outstanding.

You can cover both adjacent walls with wall arts of your favorite movie, heroes, or some famous dialogues. If you don't want the bright colors to mess up with your movie screen, you can opt for beautiful nude wall arts.

Wall arts like canvas especially look good as lightweight, versatile, durable, and ready to hang. In addition, they have all kinds of illustrations, sizes, and styles.

Some of the tips are:

  • Hang framed canvas at fixed intervals on both of the adjacent walls. Always mount them at eye level, which is 57 inches from the ground to the center of the wall arts.
  • Also, you can create an ultimate grid of canvas or poster on the back wall. As the movie theater walls are generally dark, you can use light color wall arts, like cream or black ad white. Ensure even spacing between all the pieces of the grid. 
  • Also, to make it minimalistic, you can hang three or four wall arts on long elongated walls.
