Before you create a home cinema that is customised to your preferences, there are some choices you need to make. For example, do you want a dedicated cinema room or a more versatile room which allows for other forms of entertainment?
We can advise on the best options for your room dimensions to deliver a truly fantastic cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home.
Ask yourself, and your family, what they want more, a room set up for watching films, sports, and your favourite box sets or documentaries, with cinema style seating and drinks holders? Or an entertainment room that also fits in a darts board or pool table, comfy sofas and maybe even a bar?
Once you’ve made this choice, we can then tailor the home cinema facilities in the room to suit your wishes. Do you want low level wall lighting or fully integrated controllable lighting that can be programmed to suit what you’re watching or which game you are playing?
If you’re transforming your loft space, don’t forget to think about black out blinds or curtains, as sunlight can detrimentally affect your viewing.
Another big consideration is, TV screen or projector screen? A major factor in this decision is the size of your room and the viewing distance this allows from where you’re sitting.
A general rule is to place the centre of your principal seating 1.5x the screen width away from the screen. In a home cinema that’s about 9 inches of screen diagonal for each foot of viewing distance. Once you’ve worked out how big your screen can be for the size of your room, then you can consider whether a TV screen or a projector and screen is your best option.
Then there’s sound, a vital part of achieving that true cinematic experience in your own home, especially in a loft or basement thyat might have different acoustics. Surround sound is essential. Will you choose integrated wall speakers or floor standing speakers? For example, floor standing is best for loud sound and powerful bass and can easily be moved if needed. While in-wall are fixed in place and suitable for small rooms, and loud, low bass sound. You will also need to consider which AV receiver and sound-bar will work best in your space.
Don’t forget to think about your power sources and speaker wiring. Make sure the basement or loft has sufficient plug sockets and are where you need them to be, not forgetting the ceiling, where your projector could go, and that the wiring is concealed, making the whole set up very professional.
