Multi-Use Media Rooms – Rapallo

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Multi-Use Media Rooms are one of the projects we do quite often.

Some of us / you don’t have space for a dedicated home theatre room, but your existing living room can be transformed into a media room or media wall. With our expertise and wide range of products, you’ll get the maximum performance without sacrificing comfort or everyday room usability.

And lets be honest, there is nothing quite like watching sport with your mates at home, on a big screen with surround sound.

Get the room themed to your style

From the ultra-minimalist to hi-tech heaven, we’ve vast experience in optimising your room’s style to best suit a multi-media environment.

From proudly on display to completely out of sight, we’ve everything you need to create just the style you’re looking for.

We can even build the cabinets to fit the style of the room, much like this image. Our team built the cabinet and the floating shelves for this project, plus installed it all.

Screens that blend in to the room

We offer several options for big visual screens in these rooms.

For a totally hidden style, and in-ceiling projector screen that drops from the ceiling, and a projector also hidden in the ceiling.

Alternatively, large frame TVs mask themselves as digital artworks when switched off or another option is a media wall. This skillfully blends into your room without jarring with the décor.

LED Lighting

Usually integral with a media wall or projection, customised LED lighting transforms the room’s mood based on perhaps your mood.

Set the colour and intensity to suit your activity.

Our team can also combine this with your room’s master lighting, keeping it all under control via a push of a button.

Calibrated to sound their best

There’s little point in getting the best-sounding Hi-Fi and AV if the room’s acoustics let it all down. Under or over damped rooms can have a big impact on the sound, making it too bright or muffled sounding.

With our extensive knowledge of acoustic room treatment, we’ll have the perfect solution for ideal acoustics. Today’s acoustic paneling uses premium materials, such as felt-backed natural wood, that also enhance your room’s style.

We can also do a room sweep of existing rooms, and ascertain acoustic requirements.

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.

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.

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.
