Movie Themed Basement?

Question

My basement is divided into 2 parts. Each part will have its own theme. This question is on the Movie Themed part.

*This section will have a TV with DVDs on a rack next to it.

*We've found 2 old director-style chairs.

*We want to have those spotlights that stages use.

*Antique popcorn maker

Any suggestions for the decoration aspect? Any other ideas?

Also, please check out my other question on the sports themed part if you can. Thanks!

Answer 1

buy some velvet fabric and drape it on the walls to create a real movie theater feeling.

Answer 2

How about a faux concession stand?  What I recently saw was a cabinet that held the DVDs, but the doors in the front had glass false fronts that tilted out and held candy in boxes.  It looked like a concession stand display.

I would also consider hanging heavy red or burgandy drapes on each side of the TV, movie theater style.

I like the film reel, movie ticket mirror, and clap board for decorations:

Try putting up some classic film posters like Casablanca, Citizen Kane, and Some Like it Hot. Or put up new ones and your favorites.

Answer 4

You should get film reels, too. Make it seem original and imaginative. And a red carpet!! Not like a full-carpet, like the strip carpet like at the Grammys and stuff. The rest of the floor can be wood or w/e. Cool idea, though!

Answer 5

Nice framed old movie posters.

I also saw a few things at Bed Bath & Beyond that would

work for you, one was a metal movie reel wall hanging, also

one of those board thingys with writing that they slam the bar  

on top of and say "cut" (sorry i can't think of the name).
