Home Cinema Design

Every home cinema project begins with design. Room geometry, seating layout, acoustic treatment, screen size and position, loudspeaker placement, and lighting design are all determined before construction begins. We work with architects and interior designers from the earliest planning stage, producing design drawings and construction specifications that are handed to contractors and builders. For clients without an existing design team, we manage the cinema design as a standalone commission. Read our complete home cinema design guide →

Cinema Room Acoustic Treatment

Acoustic design is the foundation of a great home cinema. A room built to the wrong dimensions, with reflective surfaces and untreated room modes, will never sound right regardless of the quality of the speakers and processors installed. We design room geometry, specify acoustic materials and treatments, and supervise construction to ensure the acoustic performance matches the brief. For dedicated cinema rooms, full acoustic treatment is non-negotiable. For living room cinema systems, we design treatments that integrate with the room’s aesthetic.

Budget Transparency

Our home cinema installations range from £50,000 to £1 million. This covers the full scope — acoustic design, construction specification, 4K projection, Dolby Atmos audio, seating, Crestron and Lutron integration, and professional calibration. A modest four-seat dedicated room in a London apartment typically falls in the £50,000–£150,000 range. A larger dedicated cinema with premium components and acoustic treatment typically runs £150,000–£500,000. Our most ambitious projects — bespoke room design, premium seating, specialist acoustic engineering and integrated control systems — fall into the £500,000–£1,000,000 bracket.
