Those are the same door handles that I installed in my theater. I really like the design, color and feel.
I'll be interested to hear about your research on the 3-seat recliners. I like mine a lot, but there are many to choose from.
You're getting close. The danger is getting so close that you get immersed in watching and neglect the finishing touches. I'm guilty here...

Luis, you may have already answered this, what are the room dimensions?

Thanks Chuck!! We're getting close!!! The French doors open into the room, so that is why you see the white outside portion of the door; the interior side of the door is painted black like the trim and front wall. BTW my wife loved the black door handles, so guess what.... we will be replacing all of the handles throughout the house with these... exactly what I wanted... another item on the honey-do-list and more work for me!   Below is a quick teaser picture of how the room looks today; the colors are actually darker in person.  Here are some next steps and items that I need to complete: - Install the black outlets and light switch
- Hide the surround speaker wires
- Add black fabric to the top shelf of the TV stand as it's reflecting light from the TV; I have a small swatch on there now and you can easily see the difference between the covered spot and the rest of the shelf
- Somehow the window shade is ever so slightly visible with the TV on; therefore, I ordered an inexpensive black curtain and rod from Amazon to see if it helps
- Mount the Atmos speakers (waiting on my friend's schedule to align with mine); for now, they are resting on top of the towers
- Purchase a second sub
- Purchase a 3 seat recliner
- Move the desk out of the room and slide the 2 seat camel colored recliner backwards
I really like the paint choice on the walls!!! Nice job!!! |

Ha... Great minds think alike!!  Those door handles do make a difference... Which ones did you end up with? I've been looking at these: 1000% agreed Chuck... wife will keep me honest / after me until complete. |

Luis, you may have already answered this, what are the room dimensions? Room is 10' 11" wide x 15' 7" deep with 10' ceilings. Thanks LC... family helped make the color decisions. |

Ha... Great minds think alike!! Those door handles do make a difference... Which ones did you end up with? I've been looking at these: 1000% agreed Chuck... wife will keep me honest / after me until complete. I decided on the Seatcraft Equinox: 4seating.com/seatcraft-theater-seating/seatcraft-equinox-home-theater-seats.htmlI really like the controls and specifically that it has a memory function. Works just like the power seat controls in a car, particularly those with memory seats. Looked at a few others but bought these. A bit stressful when you can't actually sit in them to see how comfortable they are, but comfort is not a problem with these for me. They are a bit firm, but I like that. Not like sinking into a marshmallow. I'm pretty short at 5' 9" and they fit my frame well but are reported to accommodate taller people well. I also considered South Hampton and Octane. In the end the control features of the Equinox won me over. One thing the Equinox does not have that some of the others do is selectable color of lighting around the cupholders and under the base. If that's important to you, pick something else. But I found that I never use that lighting because I don't want it washing out the image in any way. With a TV, that's not a problem though. Enjoy the ride! Chuck |

Thanks for sharing... added them to my list as I like the memory function and yes, kinda scary purchasing something sight unseen, especially without knowing if they are comfortable or not. Wife prefers a local sale so we can sit in them; however, most sofas we've seen don't have a middle seat that reclines, it's usually just the outer two. A local store has this three seat leather sofa, also available in other colors, that is extremely comfortable; however, the middle doesn't recline. They carry a couple of Palliser seats (don't remember the models), but they are not as comfortable as this sofa.  |

The other feature to be sure to get is powered headrest. I don't know whether the local sofas you're looking at have them but suspect not. Power lumbar is nice too. Both of which are controlled by a memory feature. And the non-reclining center seat would be a non-starter for me. I watch a lot on my own, so that is the money seat for me. Wouldn't want it without all the features and capabilities of the others.
Cupholders and tray tables appear also to be missing from the picture above. Those get used a lot!
I like the style, though!

We have very similar requirements... at the top of the list is comfort and that is holding my wife from looking outside of local stores, but we'll see if I can convince her.

Did a little work on my lunch hour today... right surround speaker cable has been hidden and I swapped out the electrical outlets on that wall. Just realized I need to reposition one of the panels as the spacing seems off.  My faithful companion got his favorite spot back, he hated that dangling wire...  |

Those door handles do make a difference...
