    18 Things You Need To Create The Home Theatre Of Your Dreams

    Grab your popcorn!

    1. A strip of LED backlights that'll detect the colours on your TV screen and extend them out to create complementary background lighting. You can even sync them to music, so they're sure to be a hit at your next party.

    2. And a set of smart light bulbs that'll help set the mood in your living room — sorry, I mean personal theatre. They can also sync to sound or music through the mic on your phone.

    3. A projector that'll display your movie on a big screen or blank wall. It can connect to pretty much any device and has a seriously impressive built-in speaker.

    4. And a projector screen that you can set up indoors or outdoors in just a few minutes. It comes with a collapsible stand that's easy to carry around if you're bringing it somewhere.

    5. A Fire TV Stick that'll help you stream all the content you want with just the sound of your voice (thanks, Alexa). It supports 4K video, and you can even use it to control compatible smart home devices.

    6. And a silicone case that'll help you spot it more easily while the lights are off. It'll also keep it from falling apart when you drop it, and prevent little fingers from getting into the batteries.

    7. A streaming device mount that'll keep your media boxes out of the way if you don't have a console table. It'll also make it easier to aim your remote at your Roku or Apple TV since it won't be tucked away.

    8. A pair of HDMI cables that'll help you connect your laptop and other devices to your TV. They support up to 4K display, so your films will look crisp and won't lag.

    9. A TV stand that'll prop up your screen if your landlord keeps saying "absolutely not" to putting holes in the wall. It swivels left and right so that you can adjust it based on your preferred viewing angle.

    10. A surge-protecting power bar that'll give you some peace of mind, even when you feel like you're overloading it with plugs. When any outlet isn't in use, you can slide the protective cover over it.

    11. And a cable cover that'll hide it all. The slotted box will let heat escape, plus it’ll prevent your curious pets from fiddling with the outlets.

    12. A sound bar that'll help you hear all the little details in your favourite movies. It has a built-in subwoofer to pick up those deeper sounds, too.

    13. Or an Echo Studio that you can place anywhere to put the "surround" in surround sound. It can be connected with Alexa-enabled devices, so you can sync it with your Fire TV Stick and smart plugs.

    14. A pair of hooks for your gaming controllers that'll keep 'em easy to find. They have adhesive strips on the back so you won't need to do any drilling to install them.

    15. A pack of cable labels that'll help you finally sort your mess of cords and figure out what's what the next time you need to unplug something. They snap open and closed with Velcro, so you can take them off easily and re-use them.

    16. And a set of cable shields that have convenient peel-and-stick backings and are paintable, so they'll blend right in.

    17. A remote holder that'll keep your coffee table clear while giving all your controllers a place to live. It comes with a rotating base, so you can easily reach everything when you need to rewind that dramatic Real Housewives moment.

    18. And finally, a set of theatre chairs that'll seriously feel like the real deal. It has everything from cup and device holders to a USB charging port to a motorized reclining system – talk about comfy!
