It’s a good plan like only Instagram can offer us. Without spending thousands, you will be able to transform your living room into a real cinema room and here’s how.
Who has never dreamed of swapping their good old television for an XXL projection screen, just to treat themselves to a real popcorn session like at the cinema? We can already see ourselves there, comfortably seated at the back of the sofa, immersed in the dark. However, between the purchase of the video projector and that of the screen that goes with it, the bill tends to rise faster than the end credits. Faced with the sometimes exorbitant prices of dedicated screens, we can give up, thinking that home cinema is reserved for unlimited budgets.
With the right tips, setting up a projection corner at home without emptying your bank account is far from being an impossible mission. Fans of the D system and interior decoration know it well: the secret often lies in the art of diversion. By taking a look at accessible furniture brands, we find unsuspected gems that are just waiting to change their function to make our lives easier.
To succeed in this crazy bet, you have to forget the high-tech section for a moment and head towards window accessories. This is where the perfect alternative lies. Once unrolled, this product offers a perfectly flat, white and opaque surface, ideal for capturing the light of a projector without stray reflections. Better yet, it rolls up in the blink of an eye as soon as the session is over, freeing up the visual space of your living room.
The decorative bonus: unlike classic projection screens, which are often massive and unsightly, this solution fits with absolute discretion into your interior.
This miracle product is the FRIDANS blackout blind sold at IKEA. For less than 50 euros in one of its large format versions (180×195 cm wide), it makes an absolutely stunning additional projection screen. Its blackout fabric blocks light and provides excellent contrast for your favorite films and series.
So, do you want to try the experience? Simply attach it to the ceiling or above a window, take out the projector, and you’re done. A clever, economical tip, and validated by all stylish salons!
