Entertaining is a big part of the clients' lives so we designed a leisure room with bar on the mid-level. Here, we reintroduced two wood tones – lighter wood as an open shelf and a live edge sitting bar. The design around the TV and fireplace introduced a third large scale stone with a concrete look. We used offsetting planes of materials and LED lights around the TV as a focal point for the room.

This movie room is complete with state of the art custom surround sound and mood lighting. The gym is right behind it so you could actually have someone using work out equipment behind you without affecting the sound quality of the theater.

This ultra-plush gaming retreat area was designed for the family’s children in mind, but what adult would not love to have a game room like this? The sleek design of the cabinetry has a brushed aluminum finish and flat panel doors operated by touch latches. The tall cabinets have pull out drawers for DVD storage and fabric covered panels conceal the large speakers. Opposite the gaming area is the convenience kitchenette and large table for gatherings.

The client wanted to add wood tones and stone to give this large space warmth. She wanted this entire wall done in stack stone but the price was way beyond what she wanted to spend. We found a tile that has stack stone veneer that brought the feeling she wanted but was far less expensive. We then installed the stack stone tile strategically around the space to pull this design element through the media, game, & kitchenette.

A theatre room can take time and money to perfect, but when done right, it can blow you (and your friends!) away. Technology has never been better, and with the likes of a 3D TV, projector or super-sized TV, surround sound, comfy sofa and recliner chairs, you can easily bring Hollywood into your home. True film fanatics might even install a popcorn machine or fairy floss maker! Add a gaming console that can hook up to the big screen and you have yourself a fully functional media room. If you’re really serious about creating your own home theatre, spend some time researching the right home theatre systems for your needs, as well as speakers, lighting and lounge furniture. Or, seek the help of a Home Theatre Professional for advice on audio visual and home automation.

Do I need a designated room for a home cinema?

If you have space to spare, a separate cinema room can be quite the luxury, but it’s definitely not necessary to enjoy all the benefits of home theatre experience. Most people integrate their home cinema into their living room. So you don’t compromise on style, consider having your TV screen mounted to the wall, or install a projector that can be stowed away when not in use. If in your living room, try to disguise your speakers and any cables. Ceiling-integrated speakers are a great option. Otherwise, in a standalone theatre room, consider making your speakers a feature.

What should I look for in home theatre seating?

Comfort should be front of mind when looking for home theatre seating, so look for options that allow you to sink in, recline and adjust your headrest. For an authentic cinema-going experience, stadium seating is a must. Platforms and stairs, complete with LED step lighting, can mimic tiers. Leather recliner chairs are a top-end choice, or you could opt for several modular sofas and ottomans instead. To cater for those who like to watch, eat and drink at the same time, look for seating that has cup holders, or install a bar area with turnable stools.

What equipment should I add to my media room?

A projector and projector screen will lead to a more dramatic movie experience, but the picture can be slightly blurry if the equipment quality is bad. A high-definition plasma or LCD TV might not be quite as large scale, but will deliver a more crisp, clear image. You can, however, find oversized wall-mounted TVs that match the size of a projector screen – but these do cost a pretty penny. Next, enhance your cinema experience with surround sound to make the movie-goers feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. Home automation can further replicate the real cinema experience. Consider installing lights that automatically dim once the film starts, or LED strip lighting that comes on when a movie is paused. Finish your fit-out with a gaming console so you can use the big screen and comfy seats to battle your friends.
