This family gave their spare room the ultimate home cinema makeover

This is incredible! - by Olivia Hart
  • 25 Aug 2020

With new movie release dates being pushed back and cinemas closed across Victoria, a movie theatre is probably not where you’re spending your Friday nights right now.

WATCH: The La Brant family's reaction to their home cinema reveal

But you don’t have to give up the cinema experience when you can turn your spare room into a luxe home theatre!

Interior design Youtube channel Mr. Kate did just that when they transformed one family's boring TV room into their very own cinema.

While the La Brant family already owned a number of black recliners and had mounted their TV to the wall, the room was missing that unmistakable Hollywood touch.

After Mr Kate was finished with it, the space showcased a plush tan carpet to complement the red decor, elevated back-row seating with strip lighting and luxe red grasscloth wallpaper for the the ultimate cinema look. 

The recliners were traded in for more family-friendly couches and chaise lounge chairs and shades of red were layered carefully throughout the room.

To make sure no light would seep in through the wide window, thick velvet curtains were hung and the ceiling was painted grey to prevent any reflection.

Mr Kate created the illusion of a larger screen by building a custom frame for the wall-mounted TV.

To give it an Art Deco vibe, vintage-style gold sconces were added to the walls, along with custom-designed movie posters featuring family members in made-up movies.

Possibly the most popular feature is the small popcorn machine that sits on the counter bench next to the screen. There's nothing like popcorn to make you feel like you're at the movies!
