Dual-Purpose Media Rooms
Your hidden home cinema
Unlike a dedicated private home cinema, designed to recreate a fully immersive cinema experience with total control over the room surfaces and acoustics, our media rooms are your living space, featuring dual-aspect projection and television for everyday viewing, and a discreet surround sound system. They remain a multi-functional living space you can use for everyday activities like playing with the kids, hosting friends, and relaxing with a coffee and a good book.
Then, when you want to watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster or have an immersive gaming experience, you can simply press a button, and your hidden home cinema comes to the fore. Whether you want a drop-down projector screen, automated lighting, window shading, or the full works, you can tailor your viewing experience to your needs.
What our media room installers can do
As expert media room installers, we can fit all kinds of hidden technology that only reveals itself when you need it. We’ll use the best hardware solutions for your space, delivering top-quality visuals and sound without compromising the everyday function of your living room. So whether you’re having a friend over for coffee or hosting a party, your décor won’t be dominated by screens and speakers.
Hidden screens
We’ll help you to decide whether a projector screen, TV or both is best for your space, and ensure it’s hidden accordingly. Projector screens can drop down from the ceiling at the touch of a button and roll back up again when you’ve finished with them, meaning they stay discreetly tucked away when you’re using the room for other purposes.
Invisible & discrete speakers
We can also install invisible speakers around the room to deliver state-of-the-art surround sound without disrupting your space’s look. Speakers can be hidden within walls, in the ceiling, or behind artwork, enabling you to maintain a seamless room design while enjoying high-quality audio every time you watch a film or play a video game. At New Wave AV, we also supply Artcoustic speakers, which can be freestanding or placed on-wall, and can be specified with a digital image, which is printed onto the speaker cover for a unique and tasteful finish.
Lutron lighting
A home cinema experience isn’t complete without atmospheric lighting, and with a Lutron system, you can achieve the perfect lighting for your media room at any time. Simply push a button to dim the lights and close your window shading for an immersive movie or gaming experience, and when you’re done you can raise the blinds and brighten the lights according to your preferences. You even have the option of enhancing your media room’s aesthetics with coloured LED lighting.
Control4
Fit your media room with a Control4 system and you can control multiple devices with a single remote or interface. Your TV can be revealed, your lights dimmed, and your window shades closed, all at the touch of a single button, since the system can be programmed to create specific setups to match your varying needs.
Why choose a media room?
Media rooms are a practical and cost-effective alternative to installing a full-blown home cinema. If you haven’t got the space to dedicate to a cinema, you can still enjoy the benefits of an immersive viewing experience whenever you like. In addition, you can keep your chosen space largely as you’ve designed it – with your existing sofas, flooring and artwork – so that it can still be used for all the everyday activities you enjoy, whether that’s play dates with the kids, entertaining friends, or having a family board game night.
With a media room, it also doesn’t matter what shape your room is – you can still benefit from a high quality audio visual experience. Dedicated cinema rooms ideally need to be rectangular for the best sound projection, and often require specific treatments to ensure the best acoustics. This is less important in a media room, however, as you’re using the space for other purposes throughout the day.
