7 Ways to Have the Best Home Movie Night
There have been a lot of silver linings that have come from the pandemic. One of the best has been the rise in having an at-home movie night.
While back in the day going to the movie theatre used to become a family affair, that trend has now transitioned to getting the family rounded up at home to watch a movie in their pajamas.
Once you get a taste of this, you really can’t ever go back. Why endure having to deal with parking, waiting in long lines, walking on sticky floors, and sitting next to strangers to watch a movie when instead you can grab a throw blanket for couch purposes and cuddle up under it while watching a movie in your living room?
To be honest, we are of the opinion that having a home movie night is completely the right way to indulge in this type of entertainment. You can have unlimited (and non-overpriced) snacks, kick back and relax and even pause for bathroom breaks.
But there are many ways that you can truly jazz it up when it comes to your movie night. Grab that throw blanket for couch purposes and use it to build a fort that you can watch your movie from. Or invest in a top-notch projector so you really can channel movie theatre vibes.
We have rounded up the best ways to have the ultimate movie night at home so that you never have to begrudgingly go to the movie theatre again.
1-Get a Wall Projector
Even if you have a snazzy television, nothing quite beats watching a movie from a projector screen. Not only is it exactly what they do in movie theatres, but it allows you to transform other spots in your house into the designated movie-watching spot. This includes your backyard, your basement, and any other room in the house that may not have a television.
2-A Throw Blanket for Couch
The next way to create a memorable movie night is by using a throw blanket forthe couch and creating a cozy space to lounge in for the movie. Use the throw blanket as the base for creating a pillow bed on the living room floor so that everyone can lounge on it and relax. Or, curl up underneath the blanket while watching the movie outside in your backyard and underneath the stars. A throw blanket forthe couch is the way to go when it comes to making the best movie night.

A Collection of Pillows
Nothing screams cozy more than a whole collection of pillows. Get the most cuddly ones for everyone to lean up again while watching the movie.

A Glass (or Two) of Wine
Since you are watching your movie in the comfort of your home, you can easily sip on some adult beverages too. Gather up some delicious wines and craft beers to pour throughout the movie.
