Crafting an ideal home theatre system combines technology, technical design, aesthetic design, and comfort to turn your living space into a cinematic retreat. This includes complex calculations to ensure your home theatre performs according to your performance requirements. Room layout and other built-in elements can also make or break the immersive experience.
Before we design a solution, we must determine what the objectives are. Are we designing a screening room where all aspects need to be perfect? Are we designing a multi-use room where a “better-than television watching” experience is acceptable? The end goal guides the entire design, scope, and budget.
Creating a bespoke home cinema system comes down to preference. This includes selecting the best equipment for your desired audio and video performance level, the seating layout, and setting up the perfect lighting and control. Furniture and decor also add to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
At iDetic, we understand that your home theatre is a special place for you, and we take every step to help you achieve your vision. Our design and installation process sets clear expectations, ensuring a smooth and successful journey:
Living Room Home Theatre: Also known as media rooms, iDetic can integrate your home theatre seamlessly into your living room for a multifunctional space that works for entertainment and relaxation without having to dedicate an entire room.

The greatness of a home theatre is the extent of customisation. iDetic can create a space that fits your specific preferences.
Dedicated Home Cinema A dedicated room mimics the feel of a commercial cinema while exceeding its performance. This environment is perfect for those wanting the best experience possible without leaving the comfort of their home.

Soundproofing a home theatre involves a multi-layered approach. This can include decoupling, adding acoustic panels to reduce echoing, and sealing gaps around doors and windows to avoid sound leakage.
More space is always better, but our design team will work with you to maximise the potential of your available space.
We design home cinemas to require as little intervention as possible. But care tips include dusting equipment regularly to avoid build-ups and avoiding exposing equipment to high temperatures and direct sunlight. iDetic also offers system check-ups as part of a maintenance agreement where we schedule regular callouts to update the software and recalibrate your home theatre.
The lifespan of individual components will vary depending on usage and technology advancements. Typically a home cinema operates 5 years without needing any upgrades, but improving specific components can help extend the longevity of your home theatre system.
