Game/Cinema room basement conversion

[R8Steve]

Finally got round to getting a frame for the very generous PH secret Santa gift (thanks Nigel!) so I’ll get that up on the wall tonight.

[R8Steve]

Done a test with the colour intensifier on one tile and I’m happy with the results, quite a difference.

[R8Steve]

Picked up another picture for the wall when I was in b&q, only cost £10 and it fits in quite well.

[R8Steve]

Got this one for the other corner of the bar area, it’s a kind of 3D liquid art picture so should look good once I’ve sorted the uplighters.


Slight miscalculation in regards to the additional Bar lights but an easy fix as the wall is getting tiled/shelves/optics.

[R8Steve]

And finally for now a new toy added for the games area, for anyone that’s considered getting one of these I would highly recommend it, i was left quite speechless when I gave it a go. Awesome bit of kit!

Wow Steve, it looks fantastic! Great choice of frame!

Glad it was a suitably stylish picture that fits well in with the rest of your cool stuff!

Great build so far, really excellent quality can't wait to see the finished Bar!

Have wheel and VR (Oculus) but no play seat, I really want one but not sure I can justify it!

I’d really recommend it, i do a bit of circuit racing and with the vr headset on using the seat it’s as close as you’re going to get to the real thing, very impressive!

Seen the room is in a basement with no windows I thought I’d add something to give the impression that it does.

What a great effect!

Still waiting to see the Caterham picture in pride of place too!

What am I looking at?

Is it a picture with a deep frame, or have you made a window reveal in the wall.

Looks nice!

Neither, it's just a 3d mural wallpaper!

I was quite sceptical as to how it would look to be honest but now it's up i'm quite happy with it and it's quite surprising how realistic it looks.

I'll get a picture up once all the furniture/pool table/etc is back in place.

The bar is still a work in progress, I've had a million other things to do so it's kind of been on the back burner of late.

Stan, is it the done thing to add pictures of your own cave for discussion?

If you're asking me (not sure who Stan is) then yes, i have no issue with that, any inspiration is good!

Thanks, looking forward to seeing yours.

As promised. I’d love to sort some uplighters like yours.

Previously is was all white - when I change the pool table felt again I’ll go back to red!

Very nice Ferdi!

Looks like you had a great space to work with and you've done a really good job there, looks great and has all the boxes ticked IMO.

Cheers pal. My dream is to have some proper pumps, chiller etc. No idea where to start though.
