Room Design

We can design rooms that are entirely focused on bringing you the most cinematic experience possible.

We use specific software that outputs comprehensive plans for the room, including placement and renders.

So if you have an underused garage, basements or living space, these can make an ideal cinema room – let us show you how.

And we can style the room to replicate a cinema or in a certain style. And we project manage the entire job for you.

Experience the experience

Imagine a place where you can come and listen to the speakers and turntables, view projectors and screens you are dreaming of.

That’s exactly what The Rapallo Experience Rooms are for.

Not in a look-but-don’t-touch retail store environment, but some real experience rooms for headphones, soundbars, HiFi components, speakers of all sizes and types as well as home theatre projectors.

We have 7 experience rooms that focus on all parts of the HiFi, Home Theatre or Head-Fi market products.

Speaker Styles

We have one of the largest ranges of speakers styles to work with your room design.

From in-wall, to on-wall and behind the screen, we can design a room with speakers that no only fit your budget, but that really stands out for not being seen.

Subwoofers can be hidden, in the room or in-wall, making the room flexible but also bringing bass you want.

All the equipment you need

The best names in projectors – including Epson, JVC, Optoma and Sony. Our wide range includes native 4K and even 8K e-Shift projectors for stunning imagery.

Our team have access to the widest range of speakers and AV electronics. If it’s a top brand in AV then we’re more than likely to have it.

The largest and highest quality fixed screens – we often use acoustically transparent screens with speakers placed behind – maximising the screen area and reducing room clutter.

The best seats in the house

We can provide cinema seating that’s entirely bespoke to your room and its layout. Any self-respecting home cinema needs big and comfy, reclining seats with cupholders. Who doesn’t like to recline back and relax!

Our team will configure them for the best fit with your room – including loveseats, curved or straight rows and staged seating. A vast range of colours and fabrics/leather is also available.

Acoustic treatments – remove the echo

Acoustic treatments are important to “tune” the room and remove sound-bounce, boomy bass or reverb.

Acoustic treatments make all the difference between a cinema room sounding ‘good’ and it sounding ‘amazing’. Using absorptive and diffusive materials and specialised bass products, acoustic treatments reduce undesirable resonances, such as overly boomy bass, and minimise reverberation.

Our team can work with you and the room to design a basic or integrated acoustic treatment plan.

Atmospheric lighting – from floor to ceiling

From lighting around the screen to walkway guide strips, LED lighting makes all the difference in making your room feel more ‘theatre’ and less ‘home’.

For the ultimate ‘wow’ factor, Starscape ceilings use tiny fibre optic lights to recreate the sky at night. These are especially impressive at giving the impression of infinite height in rooms with lower ceilings.

Sound & Image Calibration

Its great to design a room, but you then need to ensure you calibrate the sound and the images for the space.

Our team are experts in time-alignment calibration which will take the sound to a new level.

Add in the specialist projector calibration and you have a stunning integration.

Getting it all under control

Home entertainment should be about relaxation, so the last thing you need is a complex and baffling control system. By using versatile control systems our team can make it easy.

A single button press can be created to dim the lights, draw the curtains and power up the projector. Simply let us know what you’d like the system to do and we’ll programme it to suit.

From full automation to simple Google based control, we can make it happen.

Bespoke cabinets & joinery

Over the years we have built a list of trusted suppliers.

So not only can our team project manage your cool job, but we can also build bespoke cabinets, wall panels, cocktail cabinets that fit with your design.

So you imagine it, we can build it.

We have builders, electricians, cabinet-makers, interior designers, painters, plasterers all on hand when we need them for your project.
