My tiny home cinema WIP

Well I decided a few weeks ago that the spare room next to my bedroom would be a good place to have a small cinema room.

It is very small (180x276) but I don't really need anything bigger because it will only really be used for me and a mate playing xbox and drinking

Anyway. I have only really posted here to get some of your ideas and feedback.

Here it is in it's current state. Being papered and painted monday and carpetted at the weekend.

Back wall where TV and things will go:


And the door:

At least you won't need much cabling! Good luck, will you be able to fit two chairs in there though? Perhaps bean bags!

Re: My tiny home cinema WIP

looks like a perfect little room for a cinema set up. do you already own a amp and speaker package or will you be buying from scratch?

Re: My tiny home cinema WIP

The speakers look nice and if the main use is going to be gaming should do the job spot!

Re: My tiny home cinema WIP

Got carpet and underlay in today and the main bits.
Just need my speakers and some framed posters or something.

Not the best picture but you get the idea. Any suggestions for decorations?

Re: My tiny home cinema WIP

I agree with above poster... everyone has to start somewhere!

Looks very nice, neat and tidy... and you got it done so quick! that's one big advantage in a small room.

Enjoy!!
