5 Things We Always Consider When Designing a Home Cinema
A true home cinema is more than just a big TV and some speakers. At Pro Media Solutions, we design every cinema room with the same level of detail as a professional theatre — tailored to your home, your family, and the way you’ll use it.
Here are the top most important considerations:
Room Acoustics & Layout
- Sound is half the experience of cinema, yet often the most overlooked. We design the room so speakers perform at their best, minimising echo and ensuring dialogue is crystal clear.
Screen Size & Viewing Angles
- Too big and it’s overwhelming. Too small and it loses impact. We calculate the perfect screen size and seating distance so every seat feels like the “best seat in the house”.
Lighting & Control
- Lighting sets the mood. From subtle LED strips to blackout blinds, we make sure lighting is flexible and seamlessly integrated with your Control4 system — all at the touch of a button.
Technology that Scales
- Whether it’s a £15k surround sound setup or a £75k+ reference-grade Dolby Atmos cinema, we design systems that match your budget today — and can expand tomorrow without starting again.
Seamless Control & Ease of Use
- There’s nothing worse than a complicated remote with dozens of buttons. Our systems are simple, intuitive, and family-friendly — so anyone can press “Movie Night” and everything just works.
Common Mistakes We See:
Many homeowners think a cinema room just means “buying a projector and speakers.” The truth is, without the right planning, you end up with washed-out images, muddled sound, and a room that doesn’t feel comfortable. We design to avoid those pitfalls — so you get cinema-quality results, not a compromise.
Whether you want it invisible or decorative, we’ll find a treatment that fits your interior vision.
Why Clients Choose Us:
We think about every detail — not just the tech, but the comfort, usability, and long-term enjoyment. A cinema should be stunning, immersive, and effortless to use.
And best of all — it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or reserved for ultra-luxury homes. From modest living room conversions to dedicated, purpose-built cinemas, there’s a solution for every space and every budget.
