Do you miss going to the movies?
Well, all of us are living a restricted life due to the coronavirus pandemic. We cannot step outside our house for our own protection and of course the cinema is closed due to covid-19. However, while at home you can enjoy lots of things, including movie nights. While staying in, you can create an outdoor/indoor movie theater for yourself, your kids and friends with the following ideas:
1. Invest on a Screen and LCD Projector
Many people use the white cloth as a screen for the projector. But this is not the best idea. Cloth ends up wrinkling, falling down off its anchors and sagging. So, you should invest in a good-quality inflatable screen or fast fold screen and a good projector. So, you can watch a movie without any worries.
2. Get Small Area Rugs
Whether you are intending to plan a movie night at the front yard or the garden, you’ll need some small area rugs. Small area rugs, 4×6 or 4×8 per couple, are the best option for every couple. The rugs will offer the protection from the crawling insects, creepy bugs and the cool ground.
Small rugs offer easy cleanup also. Once the movie night is done, you’ll have to clean your yard. If you choose to place the rugs, you’ll only have to use your vacuum and that’ll be easier.
3. Make Sure you Have enough Extension Cords
You should count the number of extension cords that you will be requiring. You should have sufficient extension cords nearly because it will allow you to power on the speaker, sound system and lights efficiently. Otherwise, you will need extra wires to set up an outdoor movie night.
4. Offer Pillows, Cushions and Blankets
Every person would have his own preferences regarding the comfortable seating. So, you should offer various comfy seating items such as pillows, cushions and blankets according to your guest’s preferences. You should keep everything ready.
5. Don’t Forget About Lightning
You should light up the area with decorative mini lights. If you have trees in your backyard, you can hang them from the branches to the anchors of movie screens and any other wooden poles that stand in your yard. Pendant lighting is the best option for illuminating an outdoor movie area. It looks chic and modern. Or you can buy professional LED lights which allow you to choose the color you want and create a great atmosphere.
You should also focus on the strategic areas of your decoration such as snack tables, drinks tables and the inflatable screen.
6. Get Yummy Snacks
Potato chips, drinks and popcorn are the traditional movie night’s chips. You can go a step further by including a tray of the candies, donuts, chicken wings and more spicy dishes.
