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, complete with dramatic red walls, black recliners and a portable projector.
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 take your own movie room from sub-par to spectacular, turn to a portable projector. With a 135° rotation angle for ceiling projection, the GV30 mini portable projector from BenQ allows you to cast high quality content from unique points of view.
Further elevating your movie-watching experience, the mini projector also includes built-in speakers with 2.1-channel audio, meaning you can enjoy crisp sound and sonorous bass worthy of the cinema.
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!
