My (new) Cinema Room!

Well,

after all the years I have been getting great information (not to mention gear from the classifieds) from these forums, I thought I post a few pics of the cinema room in my new house.

I used to have a little cinema in the loft in my old house, which restricted me to a 6 foot screen and a futon for a chair. Well now that I've taken over one of the bedrooms in the new house, this is what I've come up with.













I've also included a quick snap of the setup in the lounge.



Equipment is:
Hitachi PJ-TX300 projector, Yamaha HTR-5540RDS amp, HTPC with freesat, bluray and hddvd, Toshiba HD-A1, Kef KHT2005 speakers, Paradigm PDR-10 sub, 92" Dalite screen, Humax freeview PVR 9200 , Pioneer DV535, Archos AV560, Creative Zen Micro, Xbox 360, Xbox (w/XBMC), Harmony 525 remote, Toshiba 32" LCD.

Re: My (new) Cinema Room!

Looks cracking mate. Would love to be able to have a dedicated room!

Can I ask what colour is on the main walls of the lounge? I have a similar brown on my feature wall but have yet to find a good match for the rest of the room

thank you for that - the dedicated room is great for now. First baby on the way in Jan If we have anymore then I may have to give up the room!!!

As for the colours - in the cinema room its Cocoa Bean by Crown Paints. In the lounge walls are Natural Hessian by Dulux and the feature wall is Espresso by Dulux. Its a paint designed for a feature wall.

I'll try to post better quality pics!

Re: My (new) Cinema Room!

Tidy looking set up, love the wall colours.

Some members are lazy at clicking image links (as am I) edit your first post, and add the image URL within the Image tags [IMG] IMAGE URL HERE [/IMG]

Re: My (new) Cinema Room!

You need to get the pictures hosted somewhere if you would like to display them in the first post, else you're stuck with the attachment method. The way you've done it now won't work I'm afraid.
