A professional home cinema install can be tailor-made to suit your needs – we look at seven different approaches you might want to consider
Get the retro feel! A home cinema doesn’t have to look techie
Get in the zone!
Be discreet!
You’ll never get a better chance to
relive your childhood
The main cinema room features HD projection
Eight zones are controlled from the kit rack
Wall-mounted flatscreenswere chosen instead
of a projector
Hide your cables!
Use that dead space!
Even the children’s playroom has a
bigscreen TV
Speakers and cables are hidden out of sight
Proof that your cupboard can be used for more than just storage
All the kit is stored in a purpose-built cabinet
Consider all your sources!
Don’t forget the chairs!
The owner can work out and watch hi-def movies
at the same time
Gaming is better on a
bigscreen, too
The custom-designed cabinet under the screen has in-built fans to keep
the AV kit cool
You’ll spend a lot of time in your cinema,
so make sure the seats are comfy!

It’s a huge improvement’
