A few years ago I renovated my old house and stuck a home cinema in my living-room.
http://www.avforums.com/forums/memb...29346-jers-home-cinema-living-room-pj-tv.html
I sold that house (which included all the kit) and have been in the lucky position to build my own house with a dedicated home cinema room on the second floor.
The house is now complete and I have a 4 to 5K budget to turn this room into my cinema. While building the house I put the speaker and HDMI cables in. I also got the wall boxed out and painted with the cinema in mind.
The purpose of this thread is to document the cinema set-up and ask for advice and ideas.
Seating
The red sofas are going into a games room. I have ordered four of these seats with double Clubcard points which turn up next week: Frankie Leather Recliner Chair, Black - Tesco.Direct Anyone got them? not sure what sort of quality they will be.
I quite like the idea of having them in a slight curve configuration with angled coffee tables between them something like this Tables - Jana Angled Coffee Table but in black and the same height as the arm rests. Anyone know of anything on the market? I may make something out of MDF.
Screen
Once I have blackout Velux blinds the room should be quite dark. I was going to paint the screen onto the wall and use a velvet edge as a border. I have read a few threads on paint colour, black widow paint etc but still don't have a clue where to get it or what to ask for. Do I have to mix it? I am planning on an Optima HD33 3D projector any recommendation on paint choice?
Speakers / amp
It's quite a big room. My first speakers were Q acoustic which I thought were great but I think I need to go for something a bit better such as Warfdale. Can anyone recommend a good speaker / amp deal?
Has anyone got ideas on what else I can do with the room to make it more cinema like such as lighting etc that won't cost the earth?
I am ordering all the kit next week so I will keep the thread updated with pictures. All help and advice will be gratefully received.
Thanks
Jeremy
