Luckily for you, the big screen need wait no longer, as we at Quench have <s>&nbsp;<\/s><s>&nbsp;<\/s>a range of ideas for how to&nbsp; turn your home into your very own private cinema!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recreating cinema snacks at home is a really easy way to make it feel like the real deal! With popcorn kernels costing as little as \u252c\u00fa1 at Tesco, you really will find yourself saving a few pennies compared to buying it at the theatre! There&#8217;s also the added bonus of being able to invent completely new flavours and easily impress any family members or friends joining you for movie nights: from <a href=\"https:\/\/thebakingexplorer.com\/popcorn-recipes-for-movie-night\/\">cheesy nacho popcorn<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/food-recipes\/recipe-collections-favorites\/quick-easy\/popcorn-recipes\">cinnamon sugar<\/a>. If you really want to impress, you can even buy your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s?k=popcorn+box&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_2\">popcorn boxes<\/a> to serve up your wonderful creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tickets\u252c\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forever finding a fistful of ticket stubs in every which pocket and being fondly reminded of cinema trips from bygone weeks? Well, you don&#8217;t have to be a graphic design whiz to make your own and recreate the act of presenting them before you&#8217;re allowed to enter the auditorium. You can even ask your mates to show their student ID if you want to go all out! Here&#8217;s one I managed to whip together to show just how easy it really is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/home-cinema-image1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23630\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/home-cinema-image1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/?attachment_id=23630\" class=\"wp-image-23630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/home-cinema-image1.png 512w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/home-cinema-image1-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage2.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23631\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage2.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/?attachment_id=23631\" class=\"wp-image-23631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage2.png 860w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage2-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage2-768x391.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly the easiest way to help create a cinematic atmosphere: move some furniture out of the room. How often have you walked into Cineworld and seen a coffee table or bookshelf parked in front of the screen? If you are able to move it temporarily and arrange your seating to have an aisle down the middle leading up to the screen, it&#8217;s bound to create a more cinema-like experience! Close any blinds or curtains to make the room as dark as possible and switch off all the lights to be able to fully immerse yourself in the film.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Projector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23634\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/?attachment_id=23634\" class=\"wp-image-23634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-74x55.jpg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-111x83.jpg 111w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3-215x161.jpg 215w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"698\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23635\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/?attachment_id=23635\" class=\"wp-image-23635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4.jpg 698w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4-470x264.jpg 470w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4-215x120.jpg 215w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/homecinemaimage4-414x232.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A slightly more expensive option (although still within the price-range for many), would be to purchase a projector for your lockdown (and future) viewings. They can be found for as little as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s?k=projector&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_2\">\u252c\u00fa70 on Amazon<\/a> &#8211; *other delivery companies are available* &#8211; and if you&#8217;ve got a big, plain wall then you don&#8217;t even need to buy a screen to go with it. If you were planning on buying a TV for your uni-house this year, then a projector could be an alternative well worth looking into. With increasingly more people, particularly students, choosing Netflix and other streaming services over regular TV, it&#8217;s likely you may end up connecting your laptop to a bigger screen anyway.&nbsp; Investing in an at-home cinema experience will allow you to watch sport on a big screen before pubs are able to do so and just improve the way you normally watch your favourite TV shows too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words by Sarah BelgerArtwork by Sarah Belger With lockdown restrictions easing and life starting to return to normality, , the
