I have the same speakers! I'm in the process of upgrading them, but since hooking them up to my Bluray player via optical they sound amazing!

It's a lot cleaner than my setup! Wires all over the shop at the moment! :D
 
Youre worrying far too much! It looks great!

What colour is on the screen wall? It looks like a bit like chocolate suede just alot lighter??
 
yep chocolate suede, but i have to confess when we put it on, the missus hated it, so we done what we shouldnt have, used a roller to apply it, then added anothet coat by brush.TBH though it aint that light maybe its due to the other walls being so light that it makes the feature wall look brighter maybe :(

thanks for the replies folks keep um coming :smashin:
 
Great looking set up there mate, love the colour of the projector screen wall.

And there's no shame for getting inspiration off other peoples set ups either, I think they would be
honored more than anything :)
 
pretty damn good if you ask me :thumbsup:

thats amazing looking paint, whats it called and where can i get some lol ?

thanks , andy
 
the paint on the walls is chocolate suede by crown and the other walls are cappucino matte by crown, you can get them for the focus diy places, :thumbsup: yeah the sofas are comfy but it has taken lots of practice to get them like that :boring:

thanks again guys for the replies ;)
 
the tv stand was a bargain i got for a littlewoods clearance store, for £35 :eek: the sizes are 160 cm width, 38 cm high from floor to top of unit and the depth is 59 cm, the have a lot of rubbish in littlewoods the majority of time but just occasionally its worth checking out cos they do have bargains at times, i bought my light there to for £12 i have seen it elsewhere for £30 :cool:
 
You have the same brown vase thing as me so I know where you got it :D
 
time for a bit of an update, not much difference but new pics :clap:

first off added sky hd to the setup, replaced the humax freesat box, added a harmony one, great remote but since i have had the sky hd box i havent used it :( finally some pictures i was going to put on the wall beside the projector screen but they were to small so will get some bigger ones done. Wires eveywhere still and projector still not hung, we are thinking of moving due to another little baby on the way so didnt want to do any "final work" to finish off some pics some of my games and movies. Hope you enjoy

Congrats mate, :clap:
 
Big improvement mate, the cabinet makes a much bigger impact on the room than the old tv stand did :thumbsup:

Edit: :eek: I didn't notice there was a page 2. Congrats on the baby :)
Could you tell me where you got those wall plaques from and how much they were by any chance?

Thanks, Steven.

nice one mate:smashin: nice setup aswell :D. its not until you see the scan photo that reality kicks in.my wife is 16 weeks now.i guess in october gaming time will be drasticly reduced :rolleyes:
 
thanks for the replies guys,

right the wall plaques were cheap, cost me 30p each to print the pics, then the clip on frames were 50p each so 80p each times 8 so a grand total of £6.40, pics were printed off in asdas, like i said though they were too small so gonna go for bigger ones and see what they turn out like, :smashin:

as for the bigger sub i dont know, :D

thanks for the congrats as well it means a lot :thumbsup: me my partner and daughter are really excited about our soon to be new arrival, thing is i am used to things arriving via courier but i dont think they deliver babies do they :devil:
