Home is where the heart is, and regardless of the season, movie nights are evergreen. There’s something so fun about being able to set up an outdoor projector with snacks and watching a show or movie while the sun sets. Fast forward to winter and you can easily create a cosy nook in your living room area to host friends and loved ones. So let’s see how you can step up your next Netflix streaming night, no matter the weather
Invest in a projector
One of the best ways to watch a movie or show, if you have a projector - the viewing experience automatically feels like you’re in your own niche cinema for the day/evening. Have a look at the price range and specs to find a model that fits your needs. You can check out options that need to be installed above your viewing area or those that can be portable. If you intend on having a small outdoor cinema, the portable version is your best bet.
Upgrade your sound
The main part of watching a movie is actually being able to hear the dialogue properly. If you’re thinking about getting a projector, chances are, you’ll need some sound upgrades. As much as it might be an investment, great speakers don’t have to be pricey and will elevate any other hosting experience too - so it’s a win-win for you in the long run.
Snacks on snacks on snacks
What makes a movie at the cinema great? The snacks. From the buttery popcorn to the fizzy slushies, there’s something about tucking into those treats that make the whole affair fabulous. Why not tackle a theme for the night and have that dictate the snacks on offer for your guests. Maybe it’s all about delicious seafood one night or you dive into Asian tapas for a special occasion. If that seems too intense, stick to the favourites - glorious popcorn with all the seasonings (in a box!) and something sweet to drink for the night.
