The Client's requirements for the newly converted Barn were to not damage the newly-fitted wood panelling, to sit the screen as tight to the wall as possible, whilst achieving the highest quality surround sound, given the room size and acoustic properties of the room. The budget was set at under £15,000. We determined, that given the viewing distance and the fact that the front of the Barn was a full width set of sliding glass doors, we would recommend an 85 inch TV, rather than a Projector. This would be great for daytime viewing and actually much lower cost than a Projection system. We promptly sourced an end of line Samsung TV for just £3,000 for the Client, who was suitably impressed at the instant savings achieved! Based on the requirement for surface mount speakers for the Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound System, we used Morel's flagship SP-3 satellite speakers for the most important front left, right and centre speaker positions and the mid-range SP-2's for the two rears. We were asked to hide the Subwoofer if possible and were able to locate this under the stairs, using judicially spaced air holes for the sound to exit. Finally we built a custom storage unit for the equipment on castors, so that it would also fit under the stairs. Using an Infra-red repeater, the equipment could still be controlled, either with the relevant standard remotes or our own custom iPad/iPhone 'iRemoteControl" App. Finally the TV was re-calibrated for the best pictures settings and the sound optimised using the Audyssey Laboratories Surround Sound Calibration system. Sources for the system are SkyQ, Neflix, AppleTV and Spotify/TIDAL music streaming via a Sonos Pre-Amplifier.

This mostly round room is great visually, but has its own set of design challenges. There was only one wall that would accommodate their sofa. The room is used for gaming so a TV was mounted on the opposite flat wall of the room. We helped the client with room layout, and suggested a round rug sized to the space so her son and his friends could gather around the rustic and very durable coffee table. Small frames were purchased to make a family photo wall. By keeping the frame smaller they could give the effect of wrapping with the wall. Larger art could never allow for that. The client loves this space now.

Small Home Theatre Design Photos with Medium Hardwood Floors

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.
