I can see there are many people buying projectors specially because the new projectors come in 4000Hour lamps and prices are falling .

There are many things that need money investment and the buyers dont go further , so the dedicated HT room /area remains unfinished.

This thread will help save great money on some of them.

1) Ambilight : light glowing behind the HT screen

its easy just put a led strip , power from SMPS/Linear PSU
1000Rs >option
2) Spotlights :
Adds charm to the HT setup , go for LED based eye types after mounting you can rotate ,many shops in india sale them for 150-200
LED one consume 1 -3W as compared to bulb types 50W.

3) Wall and screen curtains
People who dont have dedicated room, if you have a large hall , get a small area with partition , put velvet like curtains in wavy fashion .
Best material is the cloth used to make sofa , they are cheap as 150/m
real thick and classy .
4) Screen : Laminate diy screen is very good , costs just 10% of commercial ones
5)Artwork :This is copied fom PVR likes , fancy but fun to have , Get few movie posters printed in staples for 20 -50Rs

Ambi light is rope or led strip light , SP road and JC road people sale some of these for vehicles .Dont pay more than 1 k for 5m strip.Else import from the link in the 1st thread,just 1k .

@anm
Staples is the best place for prints , you can get it framed or laminate and glue to MDF yourself
 
staples? do you mean the store for office/ stationary etc?
Also give some reference of LED spot lights, remotes for lighting, dimmers etc. :D
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
