Bespoke home cinema design and installation
A complete cinema room or surround sound in the room you already have. Tell us what you have in mind.
A dedicated cinema, a garage conversion or better surround sound in the room you already have. We design and install around your home and how you want to use it — from equipment and setup to a complete room with acoustics, picture, sound, interiors, lighting and simple control.
Our Bath-based team works across Bath, Bristol, the Cotswolds and beyond. Bring us your ideas, whether you have finished drawings or are just beginning to explore what is possible.
A complete cinema room and an equipment installation in an existing room are different projects with different budgets. We will help you decide what to change, what to keep and where your budget will make the most difference.
An existing cinema, completely rethought
Our Midford renovation near Bath brings acoustics, lighting, interiors and a Steinway Lyngdorf system together in one carefully considered room.

What does a home cinema cost?
Surround sound in the room you already have
We can supply and install a surround-sound system, TV or projector in your existing room for significantly less than a complete cinema-room project. You do not need to commission a room refit. The scope can focus on equipment, fitting and setup, without a new acoustic build, lighting design and control, fabric walls, carpets or furniture.
A complete, designed cinema room
Our £80,000–£120,000 serious cinema and £200,000–£400,000+ reference guides are budgets for the complete room experience, not simply a collection of AV equipment. They allow for design, acoustics, lighting and control, room finishes, fabrics, carpets, furniture and installation, with the exact specification and inclusions agreed in your quotation.
Dedicated-room projects with a more focused scope typically start from around £35,000 including VAT. This is not a minimum for equipment-only or existing-room installations.
Tell us what you want to change and what you want to keep. We will advise on the scope that suits your room and budget.

Step 1
Consultation and Demonstration
We start with a conversation about your room, ideas and budget. You can arrange a private demonstration at our Bath reference room to experience a completed system and discuss the right approach for your home.
Step 2
Design & Iteration
By providing samples, mood boards, drawings, and detailed quotations, we bring together your inspiration with our expertise, to design a room that’s above and beyond anything you could have imagined.
Step 3
Installation
We carry out the agreed installation, from supplying and fitting equipment in an existing room to building a fully designed cinema. Your quotation sets out the work, finishes and systems included, followed by setup, calibration and handover.

Hidden features
Projectors
Projector lifts provide a fantastic solution to hiding a rather bulky device often mounted on the ceiling. They range in size and adjustable drop-distance for varying ceiling heights and floor depths.
Screens
Motorised in-ceiling and rising projector screens offer a compact solution that can be integrated into your smart system for automated control.
Speakers
There has been a phenomenal increase and improvement in the range of integral speakers that can be fitted into walls, ceilings, floors, furniture — pretty much anywhere without compromising the audio quality.
Fabric walls
The refined texture and appearance of fabric walls exude luxury in any interior and offer the perfect camouflage for an audio system. The perforations within the fabric allow the audio the seep through thus maintaining superb sound quality.

Frequently asked questions
Can you install surround sound without refitting the whole room?
We can supply and install a surround-sound system, TV or projector in your existing room for significantly less than a complete cinema-room project. You do not need to commission a room refit. The scope can focus on equipment, fitting and setup, without a new acoustic build, lighting design and control, fabric walls, carpets or furniture.
What is included in a home cinema design and installation?
Hidden Home Technology can look after the full room: consultation, demonstration, design, drawings, quotations, installation and integration. This may include projection, screen, speakers, acoustic treatment, lighting, control and interior detailing.
Can a home cinema be designed to suit an existing room?
Yes. A cinema can be planned around an existing room or as part of a wider renovation. The design considers room size, seating position, picture size, speaker placement, acoustics and how discreetly the technology should be hidden.
Can the projector, screen and speakers be hidden?
Yes. Options include projector lifts, motorised in-ceiling or rising screens, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, and fabric wall systems that allow sound to pass through while concealing the equipment.
Do you provide a demonstration before we decide?
Yes. The process begins with a consultation and demonstration, helping you compare different design approaches and performance levels before the room is specified.
Where do you design and install home cinemas?
Hidden Home Technology is based in Bath. We provide home cinema design and installation in Bath and home cinema design and installation in Bristol, and work across South West England, Wales, London and the Home Counties.
Can the cinema be integrated with lighting and smart home control?
Yes. Screens, lighting, audio, video and room control can be integrated so the room is simple to use, with automated scenes for films, sport, concerts or gaming.
