Room Ideas Needed - Blu-ray Forum

guys looking for a little advice on turning a back room into a HT(sort of....I rent so I cant make it a dedicated room)

The room is rectangular 15x10

My question is Im trying to display collectables(classic monsters & horror themed) as well have a viewing area
Im not sure if I should place tv on the wide part of the room or the long

Plus with shelving and such I dont wannna clutter the room my first idea is basically have the room be 2 in 1, with the seating(futon right now) in the middle act as the divider...but Im not a fan of seating in the middle of a room

well any ideas guys there are many creative minds here I'd like some help

If you want anyone to think of some ideas, you might want to give more details about your room, gear, seating, etc.

do you have a floor plan? i can lay it out for you and give you ideas if you list your furniture, equipment, etc.

you don't say where the doors/windows are located, but a 5.1 set-up needs to have rear speakers and you don't want to have the seats too close to them (so you can have the place to get proper surround). So assuming it is possible, why not install the speakers on the back 10' wall and put shelves and turn those few feet to the back as a display for the collectibles.
