Most movie experiences don’t feature glaring lights, and neither should your own home cinema room. It might be that this is the room that you finally try applying the same inky colour on the walls to your ceiling or you go for the heavily patterned and textured wallpaper that you were concerned might overwhelm other rooms in your home.Ī cinema room is a space to be daring and to experiment with your dark side. Because the light is going to be kept down low and all eyes will be on the screen, you can afford to be a bit braver with the colours you use too. In addition to your sizeable screen (whether it’s a television screen or a projector screen), you’re likely to want surround sound and various power outlets so that you’re not needing to add in electrical work post-decorating.Ī home cinema needs the input of experts in technical equipment and installation to be sure that it will function as it needs to.Īnd regarding colour palettes, cinema rooms thrive when the tones you use are dark and moody. Ideally, everything will be pre-wired so that they meld into the architecture of the room – this will reduce the amount of trailing wires too. If you aren’t working with an interior designer, it’s wise to bring in an electrician at the start of your project to consult them on how and where to fit all of your electrical appliances. Space settled, one of the key areas to look into when designing your home cinema is the electrical setup. Small, low ceilings, little light – three aspects that are actually welcomed in a cinema room. Most interior designers will say that the smaller the space, the easier it is to produce effective acoustics without having to spend large amounts on sound panels, extensive surround sound systems and anti-reverberation equipment.Ĭhoosing to have carpeted floors over wooden flooring and textile wall coverings or padded wall paneling will help with this too, because they all absorb the sound instead of causing an echo. If you have a boxier room with little natural light (like this one, above, by René Dekker), this will lend itself perfectly to being a home cinema it’s the one room where natural light is a burden instead of a benefit. Smaller rooms that are ideally set back from the ‘high traffic’ downstairs areas generally work best so that it fits in with the rhythm of everyday life. Home cinema ideas begin with finding the right space in your home.
