Mid-sized modern enclosed home theatre in San Francisco with grey walls, carpet and a projector screen.

Cre8tive Rooms were approached by a private client in Camberley, Surrey to convert an unused living space into a luxury cinema room. Whilst the client wanted to have the full cinema experience for movies, they also wanted to use the room for more casual viewing of sports and the like. We opted for a Sony TV and a hidden drop down projector screen with Sony 4K projector to make this possible. Similarly with the shades, we opted for Q-Motion dual blinds which have a sheer and total blackout blind giving the client total control of how much light they want to let in. The sound in this room is absolutely epic and works perfectly for all viewing or purely music. The system is a 7.4.2 Dolby Atmos system provided by Artcoustic Loudspeakers. The room also benefits from full Control4 automation and lighting, allowing the spotlights, hidden LEDs and starlight ceiling to be controlled individually or programmed into lighting scenes. A bespoke Hayden Furniture cabinet houses all of the equipment in the room with custom shelving and ventilation to ensure everything remains cool and working as it should be. A dedicated Control4 Neeo remote and Control4 wall switches make using this room an absolute dream. Just one button for cinema mode on which engages the projector, screen, blinds, starlight ceiling and LEDS and one button for room off.

A modern 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 modern 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 modern 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 modern 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 modern 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.
