Cinema Luxe has delivered an exceptional private cinema in Kingswood, Surrey, that seamlessly blends 1930s Art Deco glamour with the performance demands of a modern home. Tasked with realising a client’s vision of a refined yet immersive cinematic space, Cinema Luxe crafted a room that is both technically sophisticated and visually captivating.

The design strikes a delicate balance between Art Deco elegance and contemporary restraint. The architectural foundation was carefully reconfigured to enhance acoustic performance, with the front and rear walls subtly housing high-spec subwoofers. These structural changes were executed in collaboration with Cre8tive Rooms and premium speaker brand Artcoustic, ensuring optimal sound distribution without compromising aesthetics.

A key challenge was concealing advanced audio-visual components while preserving the room’s luxurious ambiance. Cinema Luxe achieved this through the use of acoustically transparent silk wall treatments and bespoke joinery tailored to the room’s performance needs. Bouclé-upholstered seating offers comfort and cohesion, positioned on a custom rear riser that improves sightlines and enhances the cinematic experience.

To subtly deepen the space and reference Art Deco styling, hand-finished antiqued mirrors were placed on the rear wall and stage risers. Lighting played a crucial role in the design, with cut-glass and marble fixtures providing a soft, glamorous glow. These are fully integrated with the wider smart home ecosystem through Savant control and Lutron lighting systems, ensuring intuitive operation with a seamless aesthetic.

The end result is a space that embodies both beauty and function. Cinema Luxe’s architectural approach avoids theatrical clichés, favouring a sophisticated material palette and thoughtful detailing. The cinema not only delivers a fully immersive AV experience but also elevates the daily lives of its users with quiet luxury and timeless design.
