Small home theater room ideas include using a themed room, hidden surround sound, custom cabinets for extra storage, media display, raised or leveled seating, a functional snack/drink bar for additional seating, transformed unfinished spaces, portable/rotating shelving, and sconce lighting.

For smaller apartments, there are two options for sound system setup either a 2.1 or 5.1 surround sound setup. A 7.1 channel system may be a bit too elaborate for a small room since it requires a bit more space. The 2.1 channel setup would be for rooms in which you don’t really have space to set up speakers around you.
