Essentials for the Perfect Dinner and Movie Night

Going out to dinner and a movie is the perfect pairing for a classic date night. Many couples take at least one night a week to eat a delicious meal and watch a great movie. While dining out and going to a movie theatre is a wonderful way to spend an evening, some people just want to stay home and have a date night. Sounds good to us!

Let’s face it—sometimes you just want a relaxing night in. It’s entirely possible to create a quintessential date night in your home with a few essentials. We’re sharing some key pieces from the Sam Levitz collection that will help make your home the ultimate destination for dinner and a movie. Check them out below, and don’t forget the popcorn!

Sit Back and Recline

It’s important to have a comfy place to sit and put up your feet while you’re watching the newest flick. This is especially true if you’re watching a very long movie! Relax for hours in a recliner—choose from rocker recliners and power recliners with adjustable headrests. You can position the footrest and chair back at just the right positions for maximum comfort. For an authentic theater-style experience, consider this Signature Design by Ashley Boyband Faux Leather Power Recliner. With storage, built-in cup holders, and LED lighting, this contemporary recliner is the perfect addition to your home theater experience.

Dine on a Lift Top Cocktail Table

Bring style and function into your home with an innovative lift top cocktail table. If you’ve never had one of these tables, you’re in for a treat, especially if you like to eat meals in front of the TV. These ingenious tables have hinged mechanisms that allow you to lift the table tops up and towards you, and to a level that’s perfect for dining on your sofa. These tables also make awesome simple workspaces for your laptop. When not in use the table top can be pushed down for a more stylish appearance.

A great example is our Signature Design by Ashley Vailbry Contemporary Lift Top Cocktail Table with Side Shelving. The legs have been finished in a faux metal color to add a contemporary flair to this piece. Two side cubbies and a lower shelf provide space to store anything from books to puzzles and games.

Relax on a Roomy Sectional

A comfy, roomy sectional is the perfect addition to your entertainment room! One of our most popular selections is this casual Benchcraft Dellara 4-Piece Sectional with Right Chaise. Details such as the nail head trim along the arms of this help to create its inviting casual style. The chaise provides a space perfect for curling up to watch a good movie or for taking a quick catnap. Its comfortable, plush cushions and large toss pillows ensure that you relax for hours on end.

Get an Ideal Entertainment Center

Every home movie setup needs the ultimate entertainment center. It should have plenty of shelves and places to store all of your game consoles, Blu-ray movies, and other gadgets. From vintage to contemporary styles, we’ve got a great selection that will fit your entertainment needs. Our Signature Design by Ashley Blinton Relaxed Vintage 4 Piece Wall Unit is the perfect addition to your living room. It features a lovely antique finish, while the open shelving and cord hole wire management provide everything you need for proper storage and usage of your media equipment. The sliding door gets its inspiration from barn door styles, making it easier to conceal your television when it’s not in use.

Add a Touch of Style with Cozy Throw Pillows

The perfect dinner and movie night call for relaxing in style with your loved one. Now that you’ve got a comfy sectional, top it off with some cozy throw pillows. They’ll add support when you’re lounging and add a touch of style to your couch or sectional.
