Romance in the Basement: Build a Perfect Home Theatre
 Ah, the darkened movie theatre. The outstretched arm, the casual hug and the sloppy popcorn kisses. The beat of your heart as you giggle and hold hands in the dark. The pictures on the screen are secondary to the thoughts racing through your mind.
For many of us, our first romantic encounters happened at the movies. Theatres were darkened dens of romantic intrigue and wonder.
Today, work and family responsibilities leave little time for romantic dates at the movies. But we can recapture some of that romantic glory by building a private home theatre in our own basement.
"The basement is the perfect place for a romantic getaway," says home renovation expert Sam Beninato , President of RENOCanada. "It's a place where we can go to get away from it all and enjoy some romantic time together."
RENOCanada has become a leader, innovator and ideal lifestyle provider in the bath and kitchen business. Now, Beninato and his team of home design experts are working with people to develop the perfect basement theatres.
"The basement is the right spot for a home theatre, says Beninato. "There is little or no light coming in to disturb your picture. And the isolation of the room is perfect for cinema-style sound."
Hardware for home theatre systems is becoming more affordable. High definition televisions and home theatre systems have dropped drastically in price in the past couple of years. That means high-end home theatre systems are within reach for many Canadians.
"You can design and build a great basement home theatre for very little money these days," says Beninato. "With a reasonable budget, you can create a top quality space that rivals anything you'd see at the big theatres."
Designing a basement home theatre system involves planning and expertise. You have to do it right to get the most out of your audio visual equipment. You need to consider the location of your screen, as well as seating and acoustics. That's where RENOCanada's experts come in. Beninato and his team take clients from planning and design to construction and completion. They're with you every step of the way, from inspiration to installation. And everything comes with RENO 's industry-leading guarantee.
"Whether your basement is small or big, we work with you to find what's right for your home," says Beninato. "We design the space and find the right hardware for you. Of course, we also work within your budget."
A basement home theatre is not only a great place to relax. It's also a great investment, adding to the value of your home. Think of it as an investment in yourself and your relationship.
"Imagine what an attraction a high-end home theatre would be, if you ever wanted to sell your house," says Beninato. "A home theatre system is a huge selling point."
The basement home theatre would not only be for movies, either. You could have a "boy's" night for hockey or football, or a "ladies" night with friends. The kids could invite friends for movie night sleepovers.
But best of all, imagine the newfound quality time with your spouse. Relaxing and romantic just like the old days, away from the pets and kids.
That old arm might need stretching once again.
