This media room has a flat screen TV as well as an integrated recessed projector and screen. There are black out shades on the windows at the rear of the room to negate light for a high quality viewing experience. The speaker system is integrated into the cabinetry and ceiling systems. The Bookworm book shelves are flexible and offer some asymmetry which gives the room a more relaxed feel. This is a 5000+ sf vacation home that sits up on a hill with stunning views of Carmel Valley. The goal was to remodel the home with the intention of harnessing the beauty of its natural setting, while creating a tranquil place of respite and refuge. As the client has kids, large show dogs, and family/friends enjoying the space, it was important to use finishes that could sustain multiple end users. In lieu of hardwood floors, I specified a ceramic faux bois tile for high traffic areas that looks like hardwood but is virtually indestructible. With warm finishes and sculptural forms, the newly designed home is now dynamic, earthy and inviting.

Second Floor Remodel

Design Connection, Inc.

An upper bedroom of this Johnson County home was the perfect setting for a comfortable TV area and casual game room. Arlene Ladegaard of Design Connection, Inc. was up to the task of repurposing this space for relaxing and playing. A custom cabinet housed a Sub Zero bar refrigerator and contained soft close drawers and space for the audio-video components and snacks. Comfortable leather chairs and stylish lighting invited reading and other family activities. The round coffee table adjusts to different heights for puzzles and game nights. A soft grey tone on the walls and neutral fabrics made the space look larger. The wall art is from an accessory trip to Las Vegas Market and made especially for the size and colors of the room. The fabrics are leather and natural soft textures, chosen to work with the glazing on the custom cabinet built specifically for this room. A Jack and Jill bathroom divide up the space between the upper bedrooms. Wallpaper was chosen for its endurance, color and texture along with a new custom vanity, mirror, lighting and accessories. Design Connection, Inc. provided; Space plans, custom cabinet designs, furniture, wall art, lamps, and project management to ensure all aspects of this space met the firm’s high criteria.

Transitional Home Theatre Design Photos with a Built-in Media Wall

A transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional 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.
