Hi, I am currently in the process of building a dedicated cinema room and was wondering if I could get some advice.
The room would be as close to completely black as it could be, very small window with blinds and thick black curtains, so vitually pitch black.
The room is 3mx4m with 2.6m ceilings, which will accommodate 100 inch projector screen. Minimal ambient lighting will be present in a form of 2 very dimm ligthts attached to the wall or 2 small light strips, not 100% decided on that one.
I was considering painting the walls and ceiling dark grey or even potentially clad the walls in black/dark material. If the walls are clad with fabric, what do I do with the ceiling? What material would you recommend? Would painting the walls dark grey suffice and how dark is dark enough (don't want to paint the ceiling completely black).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
