Decorate with comfort in mind. Choose soft, comfortable couches and chairs, and include plenty of pillows. Depending on how large your home theater is, you may want to set up rows of movie theater-inspired seats as well. Choose rich fabrics, such as velvet, and opulent, old-movie-house-inspired shades of gold and burgundy.

Provide treats and tables for ease of snacking. Install a mini-refrigerator in your home theater, so that you always have cold drinks on hand for your guests. Buy a vintage-inspired popcorn machine for an authentic movie theater touch. Set up end tables next to chairs and couches for drinks and bowls. If you will be eating meals in your home theater, include a small, round table and a few chairs in your room design.

Decorate in an "old Hollywood" theme. Hang up pictures of classic and silent movie stars, and browse antique shops and specialty stores for old movie posters. Hang dark red drapes on your windows to create a sense of opulence and sophistication. Make wall collages using vintage movie-related items, such as ticket stubs.

Pick a specific film genre as your decor theme. If you love the retro beach-inspired movies of the 1960s, set out replicas of surf boards and cover your theater's furniture with Hawaiian flower slipcovers. Hang vintage movie posters and tropical drink recipe cards on your walls. If you prefer campy 198's classics, decorate with posters from popular movies, such as John Hughes' "The Breakfast Club."

Decorate your home theater to reflect your favorite film actor or icon. If you can't get enough of Bette Davis, display vintage posters from her films, along with framed images of the star. If you love River Phoenix, choose one of his movies, such as Stand By Me, to use as a decor theme.
