Just thought id put up a few pictures of my (soon to be) home cinema (still a bit pathetic at the mo)
I'm only 21 and live at home with the folks but am lucky as I have lots of space. This is due to the fact I'm in what should be the loft on the third floor, in which there are two rooms, my bed room (where the tv will be installed) and a smaller room (where my computer is). My bedroom is on the large side (around 20 foot long by 12 foot wide)
To start here is the room before any of the kit was bought.
the first thing to do was get rid of the junk id built up over the years, of which there was quite a lot, so much so that when I moved said 'junk' to the room next door it look a little like this
(this around the point I start thinking – “why do I have these ‘good' ideas” lol)
Now I had a bit of room I could start to put a bit of new paint on the walls I chose ‘gentle fawn' from the Dulux range for the wall that would eventually be behind the AV equipment. This will provide a neutral colour so that images on screen will appear crisp and as close to their natural colour as possible.
For the rest of the walls I stayed with good old white. It doesn't bother me too much that the room is quite light as most of my film watching is done after dark.
The skylight may pose a problem on a sunny day so will investigate when the TV arrives. If it is a problem the I will fit a black out blind.
For now this is the finished product not great but it will do for the next week or so.
The AV area against the neutral wall:
A pic of the DVD shelving.
And Finally a picture my little seating area (depending on my mood I can sit up or lie in bed watching film after film) on the wall I have my framed Clerks poster signed by director Kevin Smith
