Even with our trusty Netflix and Hulu accounts, it's always a treat to go out to the movies. It's a chance to get out of the house, grab some popcorn, and enjoy a new flick for a few hours. But what if you could take all the fun of going to the movies and bring it into the comfort of your own home? Well, 2020 might be the year you can.
According to Pinterest, one of the major trends to watch out for next year is at-home theaters, with searches up by 368%. Depending on your budget and space, you can go all out with tiered movie theater seating or you can add something as small as a popcorn maker to bring the movie theater experience to you.
Here are eight things you can buy to get in on this major 2020 home trend.
Forget microwave popcorn — pop your own kernels with this authentic-looking popcorn machine. Or, if you have the space, go all out with a floor-standing popper.
Get yourself a bowl big enough so you don't have to get up to refill.
Make your own sparkling water or even soda or juice with a few drops of SodaStream's flavored drops.
If you don't have much space to work with, get a recliner or two to sit back and watch your favorite movies on.
If you have a free countertop or wet bar, convert it to a candy bar for the evening and really impress your moviegoers.
If you don't have a huge TV, you can get a projector and use a wall as your big screen.
Movie theaters are filled with movie posters, so add a few of your favorites or Hollywood-inspired prints to your at-home theater.
If you're looking to go all out with your at-home theater, you can get a home theater recliner row. This one is fully equipped with LED lights and USB charger ports.
