FURNISHING: "With multipurpose rooms, you don't have to let the rooms suffer because you want to have a TV in there," Remignanti says. He and Jaffke agree that sectionals are a comfortable alternative to the recent spate of designated home theater furnishings that recline and offer cup holders. Cube ottomans are also great for doing triple duty as storage, seating or accent tables for holding drinks or snacks.According to statistics from the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association, about 28 percent of U.S. households have home theater systems, which include everything from basic box kits for a few hundred dollars to more elaborate custom jobs costing upward of $250,000.

So here are some tips from the experts on how to create a living space that integrates style and comfort along with your big-screen dreams.

In one home, she chose a custom built-in that featured lighted shelving on both sides of the TV to display a glass and pottery collection.

Furniture manufacturers have come a long way in designing furniture for TVs."
