Home Cinema Installation in Cumbria, the Lake District & Lancashire
Bespoke Cinema Rooms & Media Rooms
A home cinema should be more than a big screen and a few speakers. A properly designed cinema room brings together picture, sound, lighting, control, comfort and room design so everything works as one complete experience.
Epixx Systems designs and installs bespoke home cinemas for a wide range of properties, from modern extensions and new builds to traditional Lake District homes, barn conversions and high-end renovations.
We can create fully dedicated cinema rooms with hidden speakers, acoustic fabric walls and cinema seating, or more flexible media rooms designed for films, sport, gaming, music and everyday family use.
Our systems are designed around the room, the property and the people using it.
Complete Home Cinema Design and Installation
We provide a complete design and installation service, which means you do not need separate contractors for every part of the room.
Our team can look after the AV, electrical infrastructure, lighting control, network, cabling, automation and installation. Where required, we can also work alongside builders, architects, interior designers and other trades to make sure the room is prepared correctly before the final equipment is installed.
A typical home cinema project can include:
- Initial consultation and room survey
- Cinema room layout and design advice
- Speaker positioning and surround sound design
- Projector, screen or large-format TV specification
- AV receiver, amplifier or processor selection
- Subwoofer placement and bass planning
- Lighting control and scene setting
- Hidden cabling and AV rack design
- Acoustic treatment and fabric wall systems
- Cinema seating and interior finish options
- Smart remote, keypad or app control
- Integration with wider smart home systems
- Final commissioning, handover and support
By designing the system properly at the start, we can avoid the common issues that affect poorly planned cinema rooms, such as visible cabling, weak sound, awkward controls, poor lighting or equipment that does not work well together.
AV Design, Screens & Speakers
Every room is different, so we design the AV system around the space rather than using a one-size-fits-all package.
We can supply and install projectors, projection screens, large-format TVs, in-wall speakers, in-ceiling speakers, subwoofers, AV receivers, amplifiers, processors and source equipment.
For dedicated cinema rooms, we can design surround sound layouts including 5.1, 7.1 and Dolby Atmos systems with overhead or height speakers. For media rooms, we can create a more discreet system that still delivers excellent sound without taking over the space visually.
We can also hide speakers behind acoustically transparent fabric walls, keeping the room clean and minimal while still delivering a proper cinema experience.
Lighting Control & Automation
Lighting is one of the most important parts of a successful cinema room.
Epixx Systems can design and install lighting control that works with the cinema system, allowing you to set the room for films, sport, gaming, entertaining or general use.
Typical lighting features include:
- Dimmable lighting scenes
- Wall lights and feature lighting
- LED strip lighting
- Step and low-level lighting
- Star-lit ceilings
- Keypad control
- Smart remote control
- Automated blinds or curtains
- Integration with heating, audio and video systems
With the right control system, a single button can dim the lights, close the blinds, turn on the projector, select the correct source and set the room ready to watch.
Acoustic Treatment & Fabric Walls
The room itself has a huge effect on how a cinema sounds.
Hard surfaces, glass, awkward shapes and poor speaker placement can all affect the final result. Acoustic treatment helps control reflections and improve clarity, making dialogue easier to hear and the overall experience more immersive.
Fabric wall systems are a popular choice for dedicated cinema rooms because they allow speakers, acoustic treatment and cabling to be hidden behind a clean finished surface. They also allow the room to be upgraded or serviced more easily in the future, without major disruption.
We can help specify fabric finishes, acoustic treatment and room details that suit both the performance requirements and the look of your home.
Cinema Seating & Interior Finishes
Comfort matters just as much as picture and sound.
We can help plan cinema seating layouts based on the room size, screen position and viewing distance. Depending on the project, this may include individual recliners, sofas, tiered seating, drinks holders, powered recline options or a more relaxed media room layout.
We can also work with the wider interior design of the room, helping to coordinate finishes, lighting, fabrics, speaker positions and control points so the cinema feels like a finished space rather than a collection of equipment.
Smart Home & Multi-Room Integration
A cinema room can work as a standalone system or as part of a wider smart home.
Epixx Systems also installs smart home, lighting control, audio, networking and security systems, so we can integrate your cinema with other technology in the property where required.
This can include:
- Whole-home audio
- Lighting control
- Smart heating control
- Electric blinds or curtains
- Video distribution
- Home networks and Wi-Fi
- CCTV and security systems
- Smart remotes, touchscreens and keypads
- App-based control
This is particularly useful in larger homes, high-end renovations and properties where the cinema forms part of a wider smart home installation.
Designed Around Your Property
We install home cinemas and media rooms in a wide range of properties, including new builds, extensions, barn conversions, basement rooms, games rooms, garages, annexes and existing living spaces.
Many of our projects involve properties where the finish matters just as much as the technology. That means careful planning around cable routes, lighting positions, speaker locations, equipment ventilation, Wi-Fi coverage and how the room will actually be used day to day.
We regularly work across Cumbria, the Lake District, Lancashire and surrounding areas, including homes where the design needs to suit traditional buildings, modern architecture or high-end interiors.
Whether you already have a clear idea of what you want or need advice on what is possible, we can help turn the space into a practical, comfortable and impressive cinema or media room.

Our Home Cinema Installation Process
1
Consultation
We start by discussing what you want from the room, how the space will be used and the level of system you are looking for. This may include a site visit, room survey and initial advice on layout, budget and technical options.
2
Design, Installation & Integration
Once we understand the space, we prepare a proposal based on the room, equipment, cabling, lighting, control and installation requirements. Our team then installs and integrates the agreed system, including the AV equipment, speakers, lighting control, cabling, networking and any smart home features.
3
Handover & Support
Once the installation is complete, we test and commission the system, show you how everything works and provide ongoing support if you need help, adjustments or future upgrades.
Home Cinema Installation FAQs
How much does a home cinema cost?
The cost of a home cinema depends on the room size, specification, screen type, speaker system, lighting, seating, acoustic treatment and level of integration required.
A simple media room with a TV and surround sound system will cost far less than a dedicated cinema room with projection, hidden speakers, acoustic fabric walls, lighting control, bespoke seating and full smart home integration.
We provide a proposal based on your room, your expectations and your budget.
Can you install a home cinema in an existing room?
Yes. Many home cinemas and media rooms are installed into existing rooms, including lounges, spare rooms, garages, basements and games rooms.
The design will depend on the room layout, cable routes, ceiling type, wall construction, lighting and how discreet you want the finished installation to be.
Do I need a projector or a large TV?
It depends on the room and how you want to use it.
Projectors are often best for dedicated cinema rooms where you want a larger image and a more traditional cinema feel. Large TVs can work very well in media rooms, living spaces and brighter rooms where the system will be used more casually during the day.
We can advise on the best option based on the room size, viewing distance, light levels and budget.
Can you hide the speakers and cabling?
Yes. Where the room allows, we can hide cabling, speakers and equipment to create a much cleaner finish.
This may involve in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, fabric wall systems, AV racks, concealed cable routes and carefully planned control positions.
What is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound format that can add height effects to a cinema system. This can make films feel more immersive by placing sound above and around the seating position.
A Dolby Atmos room usually needs carefully positioned speakers, including overhead or height speakers, so it is best planned properly before installation begins.
Can you integrate the cinema with lighting and blinds?
Yes. We can integrate the cinema system with lighting control, electric blinds or curtains, heating and wider smart home systems.
This allows you to create simple scenes such as film mode, intermission, cleaning, sport, gaming or entertaining.
Can you work with builders or interior designers?
Yes. We can work alongside builders, architects, interior designers and other trades.
This is particularly useful on new builds, extensions, renovations and high-end homes where the cinema needs to be designed into the room before finishes are completed.
How long does a home cinema installation take?
The timescale depends on the complexity of the project.
A straightforward media room may be completed relatively quickly, while a full dedicated cinema room with building works, fabric walls, acoustic treatment, lighting control, seating and detailed integration will take longer.
We will discuss timescales during the proposal stage.
Do you cover the Lake District and Cumbria?
Yes. We install home cinemas and media rooms across Cumbria, the Lake District, Lancashire and surrounding areas.
We can also work further afield on suitable projects.
