Open for ideas

Hi guys just thought i would post on here for a bit of advise and some ideas on a home cinema project currently in construction.
Ive looked at all the home cinema projects on here finished and ongoing and think they all look amazing.
At first i was gonna go with a floating wall but now im not so sure after seeing all the other projects on here.
I am totally up for any ideas and suggestions from you guys cause at the moment i really havent got a clue what im gonna do,like where to place everything and whether to use my existing 50" samsung or go with a projector or both lol.

Some things i would like to include in the room is a touchscreen jukebox,a dartboard and to use my existing floorstanders for general music.

The room dimension are 4.3 m x 5.5m,its only just been built so there is no flooring,plaster or ceiling so ive got a blank canvas to work from.

Heres a rough sketch to give an idea of placement of windows and doors.
The opening at the bottom is from my living room which will probably be internal french doors.

The equipment ive got so far is

Onkyo TX-SR606
Panasonic BD30
Samsung PS50Q7HDX
Kef 5005.2
Mission 702e floorstanders
Xbox 360

Ill try to post some pictures up tomorrow of where its at at the moment

Cheers guys

Re: Open for ideas

Hi,

First stab, I'd but a sofa on the left wall, celing mounted projector above (it's a big room), and a pelmet-hidden electric screen on the right wall. Put your dartboard on that wall as well, the screen will then come down in front of it.

Use your existing floorstanders either side of the screen for music, and as your cinema fronts, either via the Onkyo preouts to your music amp, or just use the Onkyo.

That's my starter suggestion!

Re: Open for ideas

Sounds alright to me, except i wouldn't personally put the dart board on the same wall as anything vaguely expensive in case the darts don't end up where they should! I'd probably put it between the window and the patio door.
