- This video will take you through my journey of converting an empty room into a home theatre (home cinema). Let me know if you like me to post how to clips on this project!
With this, I have built a sound proof and heavy duty seat riser using professional tips with two rows of seating. This is the first phase of the build. I will be adding more decorations in the future. Please comment with your ideas and like the video if you enjoyed it.
Room dimensions: 19.6 feet long x 13.1 feet wide.
Riser dimensions: 7.10 feet long, 9.10 feet wide and 1.5 feet height.

Definitely one of the better ones I’ve seen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Giving courage to the amateur Dads and husbands out there to never give up 👏👏👏
I absolutely loved hearing you say Hey Google, because initially I thought you said Hey Hugo and I thought that was literally the best. Either way, seriously impressive.
😂, that's gold. Thanks for your comment. If you are interested. I will be posting clips on tips on how to build the riser the right way. I am new to uploading DYI videos but the feedback has been really encouraging, Cheers.
@@smokindrill I just started wood working myself and am probably 5-10 years away from attempting something like this. But yes, post away, I will definitely keep watching.
It's unbelievable when you compare the first minute to the last minute. I enjoyed alot. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it!❤❤❤
Looks great! I’m sure you’re loving it even more that you did it yourself
Great job. Looks like you did everything by yourself. Great handyman. Congrats it looks awesome.
Thank you
Enjoy the creativity and ability of powerful people🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for your beautiful message ❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful… I love how you and your wife worked together on the project. I love it 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That was very satisfying to watch. Giving us mere mortals the hope that we can achieve something similar ourselves! You deserve an Oscar. Sad to see though that Elvis has left the building.... 😢
Poor Elvis 😅. Thank you and hope to see your video. If it inspires you, I would love to include it in my future videos gladly. Please consider hiring trades if you don't feel comfortable operating power tools. Keep safe, it's not worth losing body parts over a home project.
very nice well done !
So inspiring and it's wonderful that you appreciate the help you got from your super hero wife
Thank you for your lovely comment. It's always great to get encouraging feedbacks to push myself for future videos. Please subscribe (and share) if you like to see the next phase of the build with further enhancements. I am new to uploading DYI to UA-cam and would need the encouragement to get things done :).
That’s amazing workshops. Beautiful family teamwork. I enjoyed watching it again and again. Good job🫶🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
You (and your beautiful wife) did a fantastic job! Also, anyone that likes Elvis is okay with me! I hope you're enjoying the benefits of all that work.
Beautiful home cinema. Great job.
Thanks for your comment 😊
Great job. I Enjoyed watching the whole video. The journey is real 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much 🤗
I’d love to get a link to the self adhesive acoustic panels you used.
Your build is awesome.
Thank you for sharing this
Great job. Love that unit at the front to hold the equipment
Very Nice! Gave a lot of ideas. Enjoy your newly Renovated Cinema!
Cheers 👍🏻
Loved how you shared the details that an amateur would not know. This is helpful in knowing the materials to ensure the contractors use when designing a home theatre. Nice work! Enjoy your home theatre.
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the lovely feedback 👍🏻
Very nice...specially large Koff beer bottle...its Finnishing all😋
😂👍🏻. Joo, niinpä näin ☺️
super great job you made yourself a fantastic HT enjoy
You actually want to fill the whole riser, with fluffed, uncompressed, unbacked batts. You have vents so you'll want to use formaldehyde free batts to reduce VOCs (and treated wood has pretty nasty chemicals). You need 7% open area of the riser deck/face/sides for the Helmholtz resonator. Can leave the face off, just covered with carpet. Not sure that black tape and foam is ideal for squeaking, roofing felt is usually used. Use it between all joints, not just under the riser top. Double thick top is good! Good job doing that carpet yourself, that can be a pain. Screen looks good, back wall design is cool. I was worried about the white receptacle/etc covers, but the furniture hides them. The finished room looks very nice, kudos!
Great feedback for the next build, thank you 👍🏻. The batts are special wools and free of toxics, it’s a good point to mention in the description!!. After a year of usage I have been lucky not hearing squeaking or echos but your suggestion will improve it for sure. Thanks again.
I could never do this all in 21 minutes and 54 seconds. Seriously though, this was an insanely awesome setup.
Thank you!!!☺️
Impressive!
Thank you 👍
That was amazing work!!
Thanks a lot!
The room looks fantastic! Great job!
Great job!
Thank you ☺️👍🏻
Wonderful transformation and impressive craftsmanship. Congratulations to you and your wife for a job well done.
Thank you very much!❤
A marvelous job. Congratulations 🎉🎊.
Thank you 😊👍
I subscribed! I look forward to future home theater projects and upgrades! I am considering building a home theater one of these days myself which is why I'm subscribed to a lot of home theater enthusiasts for inspirations, tips, and tricks.
Thank you and great to hear. Good luck with your project. I will be making modifications and upgrades and will be posting more videos with tips, please state turned 👍🏻.
@@smokindrill I am only 27 years old and still living with my parents. I plan on buying a house sometimes in the next two years and my goal is build myself a dream home theater. I've seen hundreds of builds and designs, and I am ready to pursue my goal.
You made a really great job of that, it looks stunning 👏 Very inspiring!
Thank you 🤙, I hope it has provided you with some ideas! I like your channel, have subscribed keep up the good work!
wow.... brilliant
Like a magic, from zero to hero. Great job, room looks fantastic 👌💪
Really appreciate the feedback. Thank you very much!
Great work wow! 🎉 👏
Thanks bro 😊
great job my friend, like it, like it a lot
You are amazing!!!👏👏👏😘
Thank you 😊❤
Nice job.
Where did you get those 300 mm square acoustic panels? I really liked the look of those, and wouldn’t mind adding them to my theater in progress.
looks freakin amazing!!!
This was absolutely amazing but for someone who was looking for something a little more simpler I thought it was too complicated and complexed
Hi Daniel, thanks for the feedback. I am looking at creating a video and providing details on how to build a riser that might give you some ideas. Please subscribe and stay tuned!👍🏻
Amazing job. Thank you for showing people this 😊
Thank you ☺️, glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful 🤩
thanks a lot Khale joon ❤❤❤
Awesome job! A lot of thought clearly went into this build and I'm definitely taking some of the ideas!
Thanks mate, great to hear that you enjoyed it ❤
@@smokindrill thanks for taking the time to share!
@@SAdamKessler I am glad you enjoyed it 👍
thanks for Sharing , Great work!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing work Harry!! Great skills
Thank you ☺️ 👍🏻
It’s great, love it
Nice video showing us how you built out the room, but what about the most important part of a home theater - your equipment and how you set it up. Sitting in comfortable chairs in a nice room is one thing, but watching and listening to lousy system defeat the whole experience. Tell us about your system- what type of equipment and speakers did you use, did you wire for Atmos? How many speakers and there placement. Would love to know more about the projector you’re using? I didn’t see any subwoofer…..
Thanks Mike and great suggestion! I am new to uploading videos and looking at upgrading the systems. This is a multiphase project, so please tune in for more enhancements on the systems and the aesthetics 👍🏻
nice work really cool build
Awesome work I❤it
te quedo increiblemente bien
Looks awesome, great work. loved it
Thanks heaps 👍
Love the work. You guys turned this room into an amazing space. What are your goals for sound system improvements? I noticed the front bed layer was a bit lacking.
Thanks for the comment. I am still looking at upgrading the sound system. Please stay tuned for a follow up video.
Awesome job!!!!
Very nice job! I like the riser, that's probably my favorite thing about it. I didn't see you put in the speakers, hmm, what did you use, brand, etc.? We have a home theater ourselves. The only thing I would change would be to paint the shelving too and change the glass on those pictures, I would think you would see some glare when watching a movie. Otherwise great job! Love the little dog lol!
Thanks for your informative comment ☺️. Both speakers and the shelving upgrade will be done in the second phase of this build. Please tune in as I will be discussing speaker choices and showing the enhancements I am applying to the shelving. Plus a Star Wars theme.
Where's the second video?
excellent work
Amazing job man! I can see and feel all the hard work you put into the project. The results are totally worth it! Enjoy your new movie theater space, it is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiring video of your creation. 👌👌👍👍😊😊
Love the feedback, packed with energy. Please stay tuned for future videos. I am new to uploading videos but hope to get more done frequently if they inspire creativity in others.
Ha ha, you're controlling my cinema lights as well 😀
😅😂
Great to see a lovely DIY project! The drink holders and seating certainly evoke that cinema feeling.
Out of curiosity why did a couch/sofa type seating not make the plans? Pretty sure my partner would insist on something like this for pets/loved ones to cuddle 😆
Hi there, ditto 😅, our dog insists on jumping on the seats so we got the small bean bag seat for him. Regarding your idea of using couches, it’s definitely an option however we wanted reclining seats and these are automatic recliners. I plan to post videos describing the setup, please stay tuned. Cheers.
Man, you gotta edit out the "Hey Google" audio. Thankfully you did the "off" command first and I was able to mute it before it would have woken up the kids by turning their lights on.
Otherwise, great work
😂😂, glad the “off” command came in time. You made my day with this command 👍🏻.
Great job man you and your family I love it came out awesome can you please put a link to where you bought your media cabinet ?
Hi Barry, thanks for your lovely feedback. I live in Australia and bought it through a website called catch.com.au.
Not sure if they ship outside of the country. If you live in a different country then perhaps try searching for something similar!

@smokindrill okay thank you for replying back 🙂
@@barrycazimir1804 No problem 👍
I do not have the type of carpentry skills you’ve displayed here…. So in a sense I’m jealous but also admire what you’ve done
Thank you, honestly I am not a carpenter by trade, mostly learned through trial and error 👍🏻
Perfect👌👌👌👌👌
thanks a lot Khale joon ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning job. What a brilliant cinema - truly professional. When are tickets going on sale?😉 Very well done on an amazing construction👍👍👍
Thank you for the inspiring feedback. I am absolutely grateful that you have enjoyed it 👍🏻❤️.
Very impressive. I’m planning to try to do something similar. Can you tell me an approximate budget to plan for a setup like that while doing most stuff myself? Can you also maybe tell me the room dimensions for your home cinema?
No problem, great feedback!! I plan to upload an informational video on some of your questions. The room dimensions and the riser dimensions are mentioned throughout the video (room is 19.6 feet long x 13.1 feet wide & riser is 7.10 feet long, 9.10 feet wide and 1.5 feet high) Regarding budget, it really depends on how much you like to spend on quality. You could be spending anything between 10k-15k for a most basic setup to 50k-70k for a luxury setup (US dollars)! I have probably spent around $20k US so far with a lot of personal time and effort on the labour part that can save 20k by far. I will be upgrading the room further so my budget is not final yet 😊. My tip would be to start searching on different seatings, different equipment and even considering secondhand gear as a starting point 👍🏻.
NIce, room looks epic! you ned to upgrade your sound gear though :P
Cheers, it’s coming up next. Please tune in 😁
Great job, please can you add pricing to some of the furniture and tech used.
Amazing build of your home theater. My only recommendation is to get new speakers. Your center channel looks way too small for the room.
Thank you Michael, yes will definitely upgrade the speakers. 👍🏻
I really like your Work and the Stunning Finish !!!
What is the Distance from 1st Raw to the screen and what is the Distance of 2nd Raw to the screen ??
Nice job, i think you put too much absorption in the back tho. Nevertheless, grear job. Very nice!
Great, now i just need to be able to afford a house with the space to do it
Everything starts with a dream and will power. Dream big and have the will to see it through👍🏻.
Amazing job 👏 🙌 wouldn't light reflect of the cream shelves? Will you paint it??
Thanks Lucy. You've highlighted out a great point. Currently when the lights are turned off, very little light reflected due to the matte finish of the shelving. However, I am planning to further enhance the room and have plans for the shelving area such as darker color, decorative visuals, a nicer bench for the appliances and lighting. I am new to uploading DYI videos but stay tuned and I will be uploading the shelving in a few weeks.
Will also be building Star Wars themes. Will upload them all!
Nice job. I do have a question. What seats are those and where did you get them? Thanks again.
Hi Percy, thank you!! I live in Australia and purchased these reclining seats from a local company. Reclining seats are fairly common these days and can even be purchased and shipped from other countries. All the best!!
@@smokindrill thank you for the response. I live in Texas. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Very nice. Where did you get the stick on acoustic panels?
Hi Scott, thanks for your comment :). I bought self adhesive acoustic panels. Was a bit brave to order them from AliExpress but tbh I am really grateful for the quality! The stickiness is quite strong as I tried taking one off without success!
LOOK GREAT WHAT WAS THE COST TO BUILD IT?
Amazingly well done room, but where are your speakers?
Hey there, thank you and a great point. Currently it's 5.1 setup. I have moderate speakers installed under the recessed ceiling at the front and the back. They are kind of hidden in the video but still possible to spot :). This was the first phase of the build and in the next phase I will be upgrading the system. I am looking at installing in wall speakers. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Also stay tuned for future videos on this theatre room as I will be applying a number of aesthetic enhancements too. Cheers.
@@smokindrill Ahh, that's kinda what I figured. Personally, I would advise against in-walls in *most* cases, and against in-ceiling speakers in *all* cases (unless they're Atmos speakers). In-ceiling speakers should never be used for your foundation speakers (ie; non-height speakers) unless absolutely necessary. You'll have terrible imaging. Looking at this room, I would recommend towers (even slender ones) up front where you have the Storm Trooper and Vader statues, with the best center channel you can budget. You have the space there and you'll get the best front sound stage, without the complication and extra work it would take to make in-walls sound good, ie; baffling, toe in, etc. Again, avoid in-ceiling speakers for your front stage. For rears, I would look at mounting them on the brown part of the wall at the back of the room, on the same part of the wall that goes into the book shelf area, and the same wall on the other side, OR on the brown part of the wall next to the back wall where you have your acoustic panels. The former would probably be better as you'll have them a little wider apart. Play around with it a bit before committing. As for speaker brands/models, anything but BOSE lol. Try out a few brands in store that fit your budget. My system is kinda budget, and I have a mix, Polk center and surrounds, Mission Audio towers, Klipsch subs, Pioneer receiver, but because the room is treated and everything is EQ'd, it sounds pretty good.
You really did do a fantastic job in that room. Get that audio right and it'll be absolutely killer. Cheers and best of luck. Welcome to the hobby :)
Awesome job. How far is the front row from the screen?
Thank you. Room dimensions are available in the video description (in feet and meters).
I'd like to see a HGTV or some home remodel show that feature audio/video and or actually incorporate A/V into the house. It seems like they all think people don't live with A/V
Hi there, what sort of A\V integration are you interested in? I am happy to share some of the youtubers I have subscribed to if you are looking for ideas.
@@smokindrill Thank you but I'm not really interested in anything currently. I was in the industry for around 35 years. It just the mainstream sources that my wife watches skirt over A/V and I don't think it is realistic.
Incredible transformation. Great job. Where did you get the stick on acoustic panels?
Thank you. They are available through AliExpress
Nice transformation! I'm just curious what are you using for your AVR and speaker setup? I see the AVR but not the speakers (unless that little guy in the front is your speaker). That seems like a great room for a 7.2.4 Atmos setup.
At the time I had a basic avr. I have upgraded to Yamaha and Jensen built in speakers. I have another video coming up soon on the upgrade. Plz stay tuned 😊
Looks good! Wher is teh equipment and speakers? What are you using?
Please stay tuned for a follow up video on equipment.
Can I watch a movie at your theater please??? Ahahaha
😂👍🏻
Very nice! Would love to know where to get those acoustic panels you used on the rear wall please.
Thank you. You can find them on eBay, amazon or Aliexpress
Nice work! Where did you get the fixed frame screen from? I have a 200 inch protector and want a fixed screen. Thanks!
Thanks heaps. I think I got it from Amazon. It’d also be available on eBay.
Great job! What's the dimensions on this room
Never mind I seen the answer in another comment thanks
Great job, but, where are the movies (bluray, 4K...? Only platform? :(
Thanks for the feedback 😊. Great point. We have our favourite blue ray movies on display but mostly use streaming providers. I have subscribed to a large range of providers and have integrated a chromecast TV dongle to fetch content. All the gear support 4K! I do need to upgrade my speakers!
Great work… where did you get the chairs from?
Thank you. I purchased them through a reseller in Australia. I recommend searching for resellers on your local area.
What's the entertainment stand you put up front?
I have purchased it from this website (Australian based). www.catch.com.au/
@@smokindrill nice! Found it. Wonder if they ship outside AU lol.
Amazing build for a small space. Very talented. On the other hand, I am disappointed to see your speaker and speaker layout. Seemed like a perfect room to utilize in-wall speakers, especially up front, along with an acoustically transparent screen. Is there a reason you chose those tiny speakers and subwoofer (assumedly from a Home Theater in a Box system)?
Thank you for your great feedback. This was the initial phase of the build and I am exploring in wall speakers for the next phase. To be honest I am getting a decent sound out of these tiny speakers as I have incorporated a Yamaha AV ☺️ but it just doesn’t justify the room setup. Please tune in for the second phase as I have a number of enhancements lined up. Working on a Star Wars theme already. Cheers
I just turn the tv on to watch a Film
That works just fine ❤
Dis the acoustic riles make muxh difference to the sound in the space?
It defiantly reduces the chance of echoing. Specially if you have a powerful base.
Can you please advise where you purchased the acoustic panels?
Should be able to find it on Ebay or Amazon.
We’re can I buy that stuff you putting on the walls ?
Search for Acoustic panels. I bought them in Australia but I believe you can find them on Aliexpress or eBay!
Wheres the audio/surround sound? Or did I miss
There is a basic 5.1 installation. I will be upgrading to hopefully 7.1 Dolby atmos. Keep tuned in for the next video ☺️.
Do you build room like for Ppls ?
No, this was just a hobby build. Stay safe.
This is proof that it's not worth it, just pay a professional. But very nice
I like your comment. It’s not everyone’s cup of coffee ☺️.
@@smokindrill don't miss understand me, that is INCREDIBLE but for a basic DIYer, it's over my head by a Mile lol
What size room?
Thank you. The info you are after is in the video description 👍🏻
what are the sounds panels you used ua-cam.com/video/i2_wMip_ThI/v-deo.html on your back wall?
They are called acoustic panels. Available on AliExpress or Ebay
What's the total cost?
Hi there, in US dollars I would estimate spending around $15K to $20K. My AV is second hand and speakers are basic. I will be upgrading the system and be adding more enhancements. Estimating an additional $10K. Getting it done professionally will be around $60K. Of course these are rough figures and the cost will depend on how much you are willing to spend on quality and brands.
What is the dimension of Room ?
Hi there, here are the dimensions:
room is 19.6 feet long x 13.1 feet wide
riser is 7.10 feet long, 9.10 feet wide and 1.5 feet heigh.
@@smokindrill thank you for your quick response 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@chaudharijay1122you are welcome 👍🏻
All that effort and you didn't buy a screen that hits the wall edge. Could have totally accommodated a 135-140" screen in that recessed nook. I never understand this in fixed screen home theater builds.
Nick, it’s a great point. The issue lies with the distance between the screen and the back seats. Before purchasing the screen, I measured from 120” to 130” size screens by marking the wall and realised that the front seats will cover up to 20” of the bottom of the screen. I wish the room was one meter longer to accommodate a big screen.
In any case, the 120” looks quite big when in the room. Unfortunately mobile phone cameras don’t capture the scale well.
Cheers and thanks for the comment 👌🏻.
@@smokindrill ah, that makes sense. I know the strange struggle of trying to capture the scale of your screen in photos. You really just have to see it in person to appreciate it. I have a 120" pull down screen in my living room, and it's a great screen size, but I would definitely go bigger if I could. The people in the back seats can sit on phone books! 😂📚
@@nickharris5231 ah those back seaters 😄. I will keep your feedback in mind though, I mean I could raise the back row 🤔. Stay safe!
Not the worst choice for a Theater room but typical, Yikes
Kudos for the feedback. It’d be great if you let me know what could be improved in your opinion. This was the first stage and had to stick to a budget. I will be upgrading the systems and the decorations next with more themes. It’d be great to hear from experts for tips and ideas!! Cheers.
