- Hello, and welcome to my channel.
In today's video I will take you into how I renovated a spare room, and turn it into a Home Movie Theater. When you are remodeling always try and stick to your budget. I spent a little over 3K on the renovation. Below are the prices I paid for all the items.
I am not a professional, I learned thru trial and error, I enjoy turning rooms into something totally different. Please enjoy!

Much respect to you. Very well done. People dont realize how much you can do with a small space. Nice Job!
Thank you so much!! You are correct you can do so much in a small space. Thanks for watching 😀
I think you did a good job of saving money. $3000 for an entire room makeover is not a lot... especially for a home theater.
Thanks so much!! I appreciate it!! I was surprised I only spent that much. Thanks for watching
Love it!! Can't believe that you just spent around $3000, really looks awesome and not a cheap theater room. Kudos! *Thumbs up*
Thank you SO much! I appreciate it ☺️
Excellent Job! Red chairs really stand out.
Thank you so much! I got a good deal on them at the time as well. I appreciate you watching 😊
Gorgeous Room! You did an excellent job! I think you kept your budget in tact and got a top-notch Movie Room! Kudos to you! GOD BLESS!
Thank you so much for the comments. ☺️ I appreciate it. Thank you for watching. God Bless you as well.
It's not about how much money you've got. It's all about skills, and you got plenty of them. Well done!
Next upgrade suggestion: you can set up a home theater sound surround system for 500 bucks. You can get an AV receiver for 250 and 5 speakers for 250. That would make the experience of watching a movie so much better. Enjooooy!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!! And I will definitely look into the surround system Thanks for the advice. 😀
Nice job, you are very handy. Awesome theater and great way to use a spare room. I agree with the poster above. I went for years without 5.1 surround sound. It completely elevates the movie experience and becomes the biggest feature of the theater. I wish i had upgraded my theater to surround sound years ago! Nowadays, costco has some very good starter sets if you want something simple. If you go that route, I suggest doing research first- especially with respect to receivers (and number of speaker/locations). Very cool room, especially with the lights. Nice job on the screen!
Thanks for recommendations. I have been doing some research before I make my decision. I can check those out as well. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. 😊
Well done great job on this room enjoy all the movies 🍿
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it ☺️
Great room!
Thank you!
Awesome job! Love the last dragon poster, Bruce Lee-Roy hahah
Thank you so much!!! ☺️ Last Dragon is one of my favorite movies 😂😂 cult classic 🤣 Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
@@UnboxingWithErra I love what you did. You inspired me because I thought the budget would be crazy. Great job. What did you use for sound?
@@charlycash Thank you so much ☺️ I have LG home theater towers. I had them in the room already.
Job well done 🙌 love the idea ☺️
Thank you so much ☺️ Thanks for watching !
Great job👍
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you for this video so detailed great job🤙🏾💪🏾
Thank you for watching!! I appreciate it. 😀
Very nice. Were building a house, and im trying to get some ideas on my theater room. Great information.
Thanks so much! Congrats on your new house!!
@@UnboxingWithErra thank you.
That came out nice chica. Simple, more bang for your buck, and still gets the goal across. Good job.
Thanks so much Vick!! I appreciate it. ☺️
That's truly awesome 🍿🎥🍿
Thank you so much ☺️ I appreciate you watching
Nicely done at the end of it all it's Really Family time is the most important
😊 yes indeed, family time is very important. Thank you for watching. I hope you have a great week!!
Well done! I did the same to my extra room. Still deciding on the popcorn machine, though. I like it, just have to make room. I put a single row of LED lights in back of the screen and it gives off a great blue frame. Really adds to the effect.
I like the idea of adding LED lights to the back of the screen, I will try it for mines as well. I hope you are enjoying your movie room. I also saw a few popcorn machines are going on sell for Black Friday, you might can get a good deal on one for your movie room. Thanks for watching!
$3100 ! That's a steal! Great job, I hope you have many years of enjoyment. It's also nice to hear Daughter's bonding with their Fathers. Girl Dad Wonder Powers Activate!
❤️ thank you for the wonderful comment. My dad and I, do so many projects together, I enjoy it so much. Thank you so much for watching.
You could do a theatre for a lot less money and just focus on AV gear at first and then do the room up afterwards.
Do not rule out TV's as they can have a large size as well.
@@bighands69 You are right!! A large TV definitely could be purchased vs the projector, if that’s what one likes. Me personally I wanted the movie screen and projector (I love going to the movies, since I wasn’t able too last year, this was the closest I got to the movies 😊). It costed me right at 200 bucks for the projector and the homemade screen.
@@UnboxingWithErra
It is all about personal choice and if you can afford a projector and theatre room it can be a great choice.
For many people in the lower budget ranges a good 55 or 65 inch TV in their living room or a spare room an be a great option as well.
The advantages of projectors is the size of their screen disadvantage is that their image is not as bright as a tv screen nor are black levels as good as an oled or plasma.
It depends what you watch on the screen as well. I have home theatre room with 7.2 and 130 inch screen but I still will use my plasma as a reference screen to watch certain types of movies.
Great job
Thank you so much ☺️ thanks for watching!!
you might be the only person on youtube i saw who has a poster of the wiz lol
😂😂😂😂 so funny!! I might be!! It’s one of my favorite movies tho 🤣🤣
3000? Nice, two seats and my screen alone was that, well done!!
Wow!! I know yours is very nice! Thanks for stopping by ☺️
Amazing job 👏
Thank you!! 😃
Turned out awesome, love the idea to use motion lights. I did a media room too, I’m almost finished with it.
Thank you so much for watching. Once you are complete with your media room I would love to see it. Happy Holidays!!! 😊
@@UnboxingWithErra ok, thank you!! You too!!
Nice
Well Done.
Thank you ☺️
Looks Great!
Thank you Kristle! ☺️
Thank you
This is a nice setup. I am going to copy but what does it look like 100% complete?
Thank you! Everything you see, but the curtains came in for the doors, and new speakers, they are behind the seats at the moment. That’s the only thing not shown in the video. I hope this is helpful. Good luck with your remodel. 😊
B4/After...🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!! I appreciate it!!!
cool!
Thanks! ☺️
@@UnboxingWithErra you're welcome!
Awesome setup! I'm looking to convert a room or basement into a theater once me and my gf get married and move into a bigger house. I have an extensive movie collection and posters I ordered from movie poster shop online.
Thank you!! I have a lot of movie poster as well. I wasn’t able to hang them up. So they are currently in a closet. Lol. Good luck on your move, and congrats on your future wedding/marriage 😊😊
Amazing diy theater. My biggest question is what are you doing for sound? Because in my home theater Setup I took a large portion of my budget into the sound. Trust me it makes a huge difference having nice set of surround sound speakers.
Thanks!! I am currently using a LG tower! 1000 watts. It’s pretty loud. It’s just me currently 😂😂 once I get more ppl I will add a better sound system. The towers I already had. What sound system do you use?
Great video and tips!!
Wuzzie Bear Thank you for watching. 😃
It's beautiful Home Theater. Would it be better to upgrade your projector too? JVC 4K projector will be great investment It's king of projector it needs a professional installation because it's heavy but worth it.
Hi , I am going to purchase another projector. When I first did the remodel we were in the mid of Covid, didn’t have much to pick from 😂 this one got the job tho, but I am definitely going to update ☺️ thank so much for watching
Very creative . How much did you spend total?
Thank you so much! I spent around 3k. in the description I wrote all the prices for all the items I purchased. Some items I think I could’ve saved a lot, but I was kinda in a rush. Lol. But I am very happy how it turned out.
Very good work!!!!!! What is the size of the room??
Hello - 😀 Thank you! The room size is 192 square feet
What size is the room
The room is 192 square Ft.
Extraordinary work brother budget evlo sir
Thank you for watching 😊
Nice job! What kinda sound system you rockin in there?
Thank you! I currently have LG home theater towers. 1000 watts. It’s very loud. 😂 sometimes too loud.
Where are the speakers?? AV rack etc?
They are right behind the chairs each side. LG tower.I had them already. I live close to a media room store, but they are not open yet. hopefully they open back up soon. because I want to add more equipment.
Where did you get your poster frames if you dont mind ?
Hello - I purchased the posters from allposters.com and I went to my local Walmart and purchased the frames. 🙂
Thank you so much. BTW, I like your content.
@@aishajohnson944 Thank you Aisha! I appreciate it.
YW !
Where did you get your stars from in your ceiling ?
I purchase them Amazon. One pack was enough for my room. Here’s the link, if you wanted to order some. ➡️ www.amazon.com/dp/B072BGVSK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_btf_t1_O2BrFbD5QE4GP
Hello! I am planning to build a movie room and love what you’ve done with this spare bedroom! What size room is this? Also, you mentioned that you sealed your windows, what do you mean by that? Thank you for your awesome video!
Hi! 😀 192sq ft is the size of the room. To seal the windows. I had two pieces of Sheetrock and measured it. I basically patched it like a hole. I’m not a professional, so it probably not correct, but it worked for me. 😂 my window has my projector screen on it, so I had to make sure no light was coming in. Once we installed the Sheetrock, I went back filled any holes. Lay down the mud, and sanded it down and painted. Didn’t take long because my windows are not big. I did buy installation from home depot to put inside the windows for sound, but I didn’t end up using it. A year or so in, I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for watching 😊 Good luck on your new movie room!!!
@@UnboxingWithErra Thank you so much for your help! Do you know the dimensions of the room by chance, length x width?
You’re welcome! It is 12 by 16!
@@UnboxingWithErra thank you again! What was the first movie you watched in your awesome room?!
The Godfather 😊
What is your speakers?
Hi! I have a LG Tower. 1000 watts. I had it in the room before I remodeled. I wanted to purchase another, but so far it gets the job done. 😊😂
@@UnboxingWithErra you can buy great home theater speakers system for $1000 from svs
@@victorpulos823 great! Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check them out.
@@UnboxingWithErra you welcome
Love this video. Do you know the name or model number of your chairs ?
Hi! The name on my order email is “3 Piece Home Theater Seating Sofa by Latitude Run.” On the box it had Bel furniture too. At the time I made the purchase it was 579.99. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching.
@@UnboxingWithErra thank you
What are the dimensions?
The room is 192 square feet! That’s based on Lowe’s measurements. When they came out to measure for the carpet.
How much was the projector?
Hi! It was 129 and with tax total $140
