This room started off as a tragedy as there was a fire and the entire part of the house was destroyed. Once the dust settled and it was time to rebuild, my client decided to create something amazing. This client wanted a home theater reminiscent of theaters in the 40’s, complete with a curved stage, wet bar and director’s area. They requested that the Victorian style of their home not be forgotten in this design. Additionally, they needed closed storage for their Christmas decorations, etc.
A closet was built the length of the room to provide storage. It also took care of one of the windows that needed to be addressed and gave us a clean slate on that side of the room. The walls are now beautiful wood that was custom crafted on site (over many, many months!). Rose motif carved accent rail runs around the room, which is reflective of the Victorian wood work in other areas of the home. To provide drama, motorized draperies follow the curve of the stage. The track had to be manufactured on site in order to perfectly match the curve of the stage. In order to provide better acoustics, upholstered panels are inserted around the room. The seating is absolutely amazing. Of course, each seat reclines, but the front seats also have armrests that raise up so the homeowner can stretch out to enjoy a show!
The gold and black swag valances make a perfect addition to the design. We could not find a fabric that worked with the carpet, woodwork and upholstery, until I turned this one to the wrong side and we all fell in love with it. Motorized black out shades fit perfectly under the valances to provide full darkness when lowered.
This home movie theater is now the most used room in the home.
