I am very exciting to say I will be purchasing my first single family home!! :-)

However, I am having trouble deciding if I should design my theater room in a planned bedroom or have it out in the open in the basement. I read that enclosed spaces are better because they don't have much ambient light. I have attached an outline of how the basement will be designed.

Also, I am meeting with the builder's contractor for wiring soon and want to know what I plan to do is smart.

I want to put three data ports (I'm a techie), and one TV outlet in each room. I have five rooms total counting the one in the basement. If I use the room in the basement for the theater I want them to install an electric outlet in the ceiling because I want a projector hanging from the ceiling.

The room in the basement in approximately 300 sq ft. What would be a good size screen for viewing distance if I only have three to six seats? The basement will have recessed lighting if that helps.

Thank you for your answers and recommendations! :-)
