What better way to enjoy a film in your own home than from the comfort of a cinema room? If you love to immerse yourself in the televisual experience and you’re looking for your next DIY project, this could be it!
The average cost of a home cinema installation is around £15,000, though if you’ve got more budget to spend you can certainly use it to enhance the final result.
What is a cinema room, exactly?
The ideal home cinema room, equipped with a high-quality home cinema projector, gives you the highest experience of movie visuals and sound that you can achieve in the comfort of your home.
There are three prime ingredients of a home cinema: a surround sound system, a large, wall-mounted screen with sharper-than-average picture quality, and a top-of-the-line home cinema projector.
How? Space and room
So, how can you put the spokes into action and create it for yourself? Decide which room to convert into your home cinema, first of all. For best results, it should be a small room, as this typically produces better acoustics.
Think about lighting as well. Are there any modifications you might like to make to enhance this? You may want to get special darkening blinds to block out the effects of any outdoor lighting and make it feel truly cinematic.
The screen
The focal point of your room, this one’s important! Many home renovators install a flatscreen TV, although if you want to use your room for multiple purposes or simply keep the costs down, a drop-down projector can also do the job. If you’ve got a little knowledge of product design, you could even use CAD design software to create printed housing for your projector, allowing you to create the perfect sized housing to fit your projector device into the space you have available.
Speaker & Acoustics
Get yourself a surround sound system and follow the instructions on where to place each speaker. Cinema rooms usually use at least a 5.1 surround sound system, so be aware of this when you’re shopping around.
Look for a surround system with subwoofers for the optimum experience, as these even out bass tones. You will probably need to place the subwoofers on opposite sides of the screen for the best results.
Furniture and Seating
Now you’ve got a great entertainment system set up, you can choose the furniture for your room. If you’ve got a decent budget to play with, you may want to consider getting real cinema chairs. If you’re going for a cosy vibe, of course, you could opt for sofas and armchairs with some eye-popping cushions and throws.
Why not even consider bean bags? Fun and comfy for kids and adults alike, there are so many styles available. Faux fur and corduroy bean bags are among these, being easily obtainable.

Having a home cinema is not only great for you; it’s a wonderful social opportunity as well. Your friends and relatives will love gathering to watch a movie in your cinema den.
