Oh media room how we love thee! Since moving into the house this is the room where we have spent the majority of our time. I'm excited to now 'reveal' the finished product to you.
We had a difficult time finding a media room lounge due to the pop out that council insisted we have. I spent many hours and passed through numerous furniture stores with a tape measure, trying to find something that would fit. Then I came across a beauty at Lyall Buick which comfortably fits 3-4 people and has rolling seat backs so you can make the lounge extra deep to stretch your legs out. I managed to convince Lyall himself to order me one made in a chocolate italian leather (as they only had beige available) and it looks like it was made for the room. If it seems we need more seating I will add a couple of narrow armchairs or perhaps even bean bags if I can find trendy ones.
I had a lot of fun decorating this room. The entire colour scheme was dictated by two very quirky pieces of art we purchased in Melbourne last year. This room is closed off from the open plan area, so we could afford to make it different to the rest of the house. It's a bit of fun and hopefully captures the imagination in the same way as the many movies that will be watched in this room.
There are a couple of decorative items on the ikea TV unit which I am just in love with. The woven neoprene bowl is a great home for remote controls, courtesy of The Minimalist. I am also a huge book lover and couldn't resist buying these retired classics that have been brought back to life by the guys at Growing Books.
This one is such a quirky, fun piece chosen by Tom.
This piece was my pick. It is incredibly detailed and unusual. It reminds me of when I was an exchange student in Japan and being captived by their culture, sense of youth and colourful stories.
Our wall mounting equipment and built in cabling is excellent. We could probably do with a TV upgrade though.
All we need is some popcorn :)
