I have a friend who wants to have a media/theater room, but has a very small space. Looking for ideas on how to maximize seating within this room. Thoughts? Ideas?

Where's the door located?

Sorry, door is on the angled corner, dead middle, opens to the short wall.

i would do this

wait its only 13' deep..ok move second row back and nix the bar..

Used theater seats

How about the configuration. I'd definitely recommend min 720p although XGA (576p) from the same throw looks pretty good also.

You could also forego the stereo section and get something like this

its 152" wide and since your back wall is 156" it should fit. I would have it so the side nearest to the door arcs in more, if its possible

Where's he gonna put his equipment? Blu-ray player, receiver, etc.

You could seat 5 in that situation... she would obviously have to sit on your lap...

THanks for all the help so far guys. As far as placement of a/v and such it is wide open, I just have to work in the confines of his little room. The room used to hold a hot tub, but it broke and he is open to making a theater instead. I am intrigued by the used theater seats, where would you get such items?

Face the right wall of the drawing. Row of 2 or 3 in the front if you can get something narrow. Maybe 2 more seats in a 2nd row.
