There was a time when home theaters defined luxury home entertainment. These spaces are made for the movie-watching experience, with lighting, acoustics, tiered seating, and floor-to-ceiling movie screens designed to replicate your favorite immersive cinematic experience. 

Hard to beat. 

In 2025, however, there is a new kid on the block. CEPro reported on the multipurpose media room surge and the growing interest in cinematic experiences in flexible, multi-use spaces. 

Why?

Media rooms define life. They offer more than an immersive cinematic experience. While the audio-video technology is still top-tier, it’s a space that’s also designed for sporting events, gaming, socializing, and hosting gatherings. Media rooms fit into our everyday living, giving us a space to play, relax, and enjoy the company of those who mean the most. 

Here, we’ll explore just how to create the ultimate media room—transforming your space into an entertainment hub.

The Room

If you think you don’t have space for a media room, think again. These entertainment hubs are found in spare bedrooms, basements, garages, and dens. You can even create media rooms in open floor plans that encompass great rooms and living rooms. 

Are you envisioning your cherished home’s aesthetics falling by the wayside amidst large-scale TV displays and massive stereo systems? At DIJIS, we would never let that happen. In fact, we believe these spaces can elevate your home’s design. 

Are you wondering how? It’s called hidden technology. 

Brilliant Video Out of Sight

In a media room, the choices are many. From QLED TVs, ideal for rooms with lots of ambient light, to OLED TVs that provide extreme contrast for a truly cinematic experience, the perfect display exists for your unique environment. 

Some homeowners prefer 4K HDR projectors and ambient light-rejecting movie screens. But what do you do with these video superstars when having friends over for fusion appetizers or using the space for your little one's birthday party?

The latest video lifts hide TVs, projectors, and screens in ceilings, floors, and custom-designed furniture. Press “Movie Night” or “Game Day” on a touchscreen, and they magically appear. And with their arrival comes vibrant images in stunning colors that make you feel like you’re on the 50-yard line or in the dark and scary streets of New York. 

Immersive Surround Sound in One or Every Room

George Lucas said sound is 50% of the moviegoing experience. Danny Boyle put that figure closer to 70%. Close your eyes and listen to a movie in motion—the special effects and rumbling you feel in your gut. The whispers and emotional ache you feel in your heart. Sound conveys the emotions and draws you into the scene.

Through high-fidelity in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, along with a subwoofer, our AV experts at DIJIS can create an immersive surround sound while retaining the room’s design. It’s all about acoustics, architecture, and furnishings. We also integrate acoustic panels that enhance the room’s aesthetics while reducing reverberation and echoes. 

Flexible Comfort

Because this room is designed for more than movies, the seating often reflects its multifunctional approach. From modular seating that can be configured according to the occasion to separate seating zones that are designed for different activities, it’s safe to say that, with the right design, this room will become the favorite one in your home. 

Sectionals, ergonomic recliners, gaming chairs, and bistro tables and chairs can all find their way into these unique and entertaining spaces. 

The Right Environment

Think of the many activities you could enjoy in a multipurpose media room. Now, consider the lighting. It’s evident that each activity, from relaxing amid high-fidelity music to enjoying the big game with family and friends, requires different illumination. 

By integrating these rooms into a home automation system, you can set the lighting to the ideal color temperature and hue, lower the shades, and call the video equipment from hiding, all with the touch of a button. From movie nights to game days and hosting the perfect Sunday brunch, one touch creates the ideal atmosphere. 

And we’ve only scratched the surface. 

At DIJIS, we believe media rooms should be as different as the families who enjoy them. They should also be the best home entertainment around.
