I gave the client some home work too….instead of getting a new tv cabinet, I had him re-surface the old one with an espresso coloured varnish with a gloss, to give a high-end feel plus making the tv feel part of the unit. ( I did a little Photoshop mock-up of how the room would look before purchasing anything, especially the wall papered wall)Ī few hours of wall papering, mounting pictures and styling, resulted in this fun zone that totally exceeded the clients expectations….which is always a good thing you know 😉 I think my mock-up came pretty darn close to the real deal, don’t you think? The Tv doesn’t feel so alone and high up any more. Other elements planned: A stunning statement chair, art, snack bar items and a few decorative pieces to make the media room feel like a real cinema at home. My plan also included some fantastic wall paper to create a focal point and ground the tv but also give a sense of space and height with the broken pattern. To help marry all the colours of the space, I wanted a colourful rug that had a fun and young feel for this media room. What a great starting point! Already in place a small bar fridge to keep cold drinks and off course the counter top would make the best snack bar in town! My Vision board after viewing the room The built-in cupboard used to be the storage space behind the bar that the previous owners had in the room. This room was just perfect for a media room. The key is to place your media room in the space where you’ll have as much control as possible over these key elements and my clients had exactly such a room Away from the noisy part of the house, no windows, and it was an unused space. The popular locations for small media rooms are basements, or in spare guest bedrooms-places that are self-contained, quiet, and won’t interfere with the home’s day-to-day operation when in use. The most important features of a media room are light and sound.

Two major benefits are that they boost a home’s entertainment value as well as its potential resale value not to mention the usability of odd sized rooms. Media rooms and home theaters are an increasingly popular feature in homes. Today I have such a fun project to share with all you DIY’ers out there! A Media room – how tow create your own that the kids will love! This is one of those projects that is really not that time-consuming, expensive or to difficult for the average DIYer to achieve.
