When creating your home theater, you want it to fit the feel of your house. This means that the look and layout of the seating in the cinema room needs to fit the color and the aesthetic of all the elements around it. It wouldn’t make sense to purchase entertainment room reclining chairs upholstered in brown leather when the rest of your home theater was full of bright, saturated colors. The reverse is also true—if your home theater is full of neutral tones, it wouldn’t mesh well to get a row of three red entertainment room chairs. But what if you really like the silhouette and shape of a particular model of high-end theater room recliners, but the colors its standardly available in aren’t simpatico with your existing home theater décor and taste? With Valencia Theater Seating’s online customizer, you can customize all aspects of your chair and view it in 2D or even in 3D! Using our 3D Build feature is super simple (and, not to mention, fun). That means you have full control over tons of different factors like color, material, and even how many seats you get and in what configuration.
Follow along for a quick tutorial on how to navigate the online customizer so you can create a home theater chair that fits the unique feel of your room:
To get to the customizer, go to Valencia Theater Seating’s home page. From the home page, click the “Online Store” button to take you to the online store. Once you are at the online store page, you should be able to see the “Build Your Own” button at the top of the page, just right of center. Click this button, and it will take you to a grid-style gallery of our many luxury home theater seating models. Select the model you want to customize, and you’ll be taken to the customizer, where you can start visualizing the design and layout of your home theater seating – literally.
This is the part where it gets fun—you have total control over how you customize and get to truly craft the best home theater seating for you. With our customizer, you’ll have the luxurious options of choosing the material your reclining theater room seating is upholstered with, deciding what color accents and handy accessories for your entertainment room seating you want to include, and playing around with the seating configuration of your chairs.
Choosing the Primary Material for Your Movie Chairs
There are 3 different materials that you can choose for your new home theater chair. We have our theater seating broken up into entertainment room chairs that are crafted with leather upholstery and home theater recliners upholstered in premium fabric. As makers of some of the highest-quality media room seating out there, we’re committed to only using the finest materials, and we invite you to do the same when crafting your dream chair. Each material has its own unique look and feel, so pick whichever material you think will fit the look of your home theater.
The three most common materials our clients choose are:
Nappa Leather
Nappa leather is a high-quality type of leather that is typically used inside luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz. Nappa leather is both smooth and soft, lending a slick look while also providing you with maximum comfort.
You can expect some impossibly comfortable home theater recliners when choosing this option—Nappa leather only gets better with age too as it patinas beautifully and gets even more relaxing to lounge on over the years. The supple and smooth feel of the leather immediately adds sophistication to a piece upholstered with it.
Velour Fabric
Velour is a plush velvet-like fabric that has a lot of very fine soft fibers. Velour is known for its super soft finish that follows the stroke of your hand.
Our fabric-upholstered multimedia room seating is luxuriously soft, and it screams luxury. Done right, velour is a definite statement of luxury and opulence, and it can easily create a sense of mood and drama in the right room. Plus, they were the go-to choice for movie theaters of old—those seeking to emulate a movie theater would have a lot of fun creating a custom entertainment room chair constructed with high-quality velour.
Italian Leather
Italian leather is some of the highest quality leather available. This leather is fully processed and tanned in Milan. This leather is completely genuine in its texture and color, it is not dyed or imprinted with any grain textures.
Italian leather is widely regarded as simply one of the best kinds of leather out there, and we’re proud to offer it to our clients in the form of entertainment room recliners upholstered in stunningly luxurious leather. As the Italian leather ages, it gets softer and more supple, and it’ll turn into one of the best home theater sofas to relax on that you’ve ever had.
We have other non-leather options like vegan leather and fabric home theater seating as well, like very trendy microfiber theater seating. Multimedia room sofas upholstered with vegan leather are a fantastic option for those looking to stay away from real leather, and our vegan leather is so convincing that you wouldn’t even know the difference between the two. You can feel good and have a realistic-looking product too.
Leather is great, and Valencia’s leather options are unmatched in quality and authenticity, but we get that not every family’s media room furniture is safe from rowdy kids or clumsy pets.
Do you Want One or Two-Tone Leather or Fabric Theater Seats?
On top of being able to pick the material for your home theater chair, you are also able to choose the color of the material. We offer both leather and fabric seating upholstery options in various colors, allowing you to make sure the color of the chair fits the feel of your home theater. And our 3D Builder lets you explore all your options.
Honestly, the best part of this customizer is that the colors are nearly endless. Depending on what kind of leather you go with, you can get beautiful entertainment room seating in brown leather, cozy-to-sit-on media room chairs with red leather upholstery, or go with something as simple as a white leather chair. The Linea Leather Collection allows for bright, poppy colors like a luxurious purple, burgundy, verdant greens, and more. When it comes to our top-notch velour, the color options are similarly endless.
The customizer also allows you to create a chair with two different tones of colors. This means that one section of the chair can be a different color than another section. Entertainment room chairs with two-tone upholstery is great when you’re working with a mixed color palette in your existing décor. This way, you can perfectly match your chairs to the room. Or maybe you want to rep your favorite sports team and go with their colors. Or maybe you can’t decide and want to go with your top two picks—you get the idea.
You can do this play on two tone leather seats either with color blocking or with contrasting piping. Even better, you can do two-tone theater seating in leather or fabric. You could even choose Nappa leather seats with contrast piping in Parisian velour. We’ve had some fun opportunities to create some seriously extravagant home theater seating for clients via customization before, and we can’t wait for you to be able to do the same. Go crazy – create a unique chair for your home theater.
Color Accents & Accessories: Seat Piping, Cup Holders and More
Speaking of piping, another decision that you need to make when creating your chair is if you want piping at all. If you decide your chair needs piping, the customizer allows you to add piping and change its color. Adding piping to your chair is a great way to personalize your seat and create a multimedia room recliner that exudes class and luxury with some bespoke side detailing. It’s a subtle, but powerful addition. You are also able to change the color of the cup holder so that it doesn’t clash with your chair. We give you tons of opulent options to choose from like chrome, black chrome, gold, and silver cupholders. This flexibility allows you to match the cupholder perfectly and get the exact vibe you’re going for with your very own creation.
Adding some home theater accessories like a tablet holder, tray table or wine caddy? Customize the finishes on those, too, to keep everything cohesive and consistent. Designing truly luxury home theater seating means adding function and style right down to the smallest details.
You also have the option to add on bass shakers to your chairs. Home theater recliners equipped with bass shakers are one of the best ways to increase your immersion in the movie you’re viewing as high-bass moments translate directly to rumbles that move through your seating and pull you in deeper and deeper into the film. Our bass shakers come pre-installed so you’re set to enjoy them from the moment your chair arrives.
Play Around with Ideas for Seat Configuration
The layout of your home theater chairs will depend on your personal needs and the layout of your media room at-large. We have endless options to suit literally anyone’s home theater needs, including cinema-style sectional sofas, chaise lounges and loveseats; curved rows of movie seating with 2 to 6 seats; riser-style seating with elevated back rows, and much more. You want it, we can likely make it happen. If you’re looking to outfit your room with multiple rows of entertainment room chairs that seat up to three or four, we also have the option to add on elevated platforms for multimedia room seating towards the end of the customization process. Adding an extra platform to your back row of seating gives everyone a great view of the screen at all times, and it looks intentional and classy.
We discussed picking your chair configuration in a previous article if you’d like more detail on this step. Between viewing angles, sound cones, row height, etc., there are likely still some details to hammer out with your theater seating setup. Everyone’s home theater setup is unique and will need different arrangements of seating to make things flow and look as neat and tidy as possible.
We love our 3D customizer, and we know you will, too. Sometimes you don’t even know what you want until you can really see exactly what’s out there. Go ahead, give it a try.
