Bear in mind that if have the doors closed, you'll wan't to be able to get in and out by opening just one door, rather than unbolting the 2nd just to get through. You could make the secondary door small than the primary one though. I'd be comfortable moving the door a bit to one side, as the room won't be fitted out symmetricallly anyhow. The main thing I'd watch is where the doors go when they are open: whether it will be convenient to use the room while the doors are open, and whether the doors opening get in the way of the furniture. If you open the doors outward, hinged to 180 degrees with niches for the handles, then you should overcome most of those issues. But you'd still want to work out which is to be the primary door. If that's the one closer to the couches, you won't want the couch intruding into the access. Edit: rather than use a niche to hold the handle, it'd be neater to use recessed door handles, so the door can swing back flush against the wall, and not have a handle protruding. Re: Home theatre room help! 5May 10, 2015 8:14 pm The double doors would certainly give you a more open feel in the house. My thoughts are to what you may want to use the room for in the future. Could it become another bedroom, or is that not in your thoughts at all? If there is any chance it will become a bedroom then I would opt for a single door. I have a large family area here where the TV is...no theatre room. I do have a lounge room with a single door. This is my quiet room with recliners, laptop,tablet but no noise making things... You may find in a few years this room could become your quiet room... Re: Home theatre room help! 7May 14, 2015 7:02 pm Just stick with a single door, double doors will let too much sound out. Put in acoustic insulation in to all the walls if you can. If you are going the projector route, I'd look at putting in a smaller window in to the room.
