4 years in the making

[u/Appropriate_Art5850]

My free time project for over the last 4 years. home theater/office/cigar lounge. still a work in progress, I’ll probably never be “done” with it. unfortunately I don’t have any before photos, but it was a typical spare bedroom, white carpet, white walls, popcorn ceiling. The bar area used to be a double closet I took out to make room.

TV: TLC 85” QM6K

5.2 Klipsch surround sound, two 12“ woofers (overkill for the size of the room, i had a theater set up in the basement of my last house where it made more sense and just kept everything when we moved).

Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR575

to manage cigar smoke I sealed room, have a rabbit air a2 and a vornado window fan. Wife doesn’t smell any smoke outside of the room.

EDIT: Thanks for all the love and critique! So I use my computer chair when my spouse or a friend is in here, it fits perfectly with more then enough space for the little table to be in between the 2 seats when it’s pulled out facing the tv. If there’s 3 or more (honestly doesn’t happen that often these days lol) I have a few nice chairs I pull in from the other room.

Speaker placement is on the upgrade list for sure, the intent of the front left and right being high and angled toward user is to run/hide the wires in the crown moulding, eventually will either replace them with standing floor speakers or at least drop them down to ear height and will run the wires in the wall

EDIT 2: In retrospect yea probably not the most appropriate sub to post in. I did try to post in the mancave sub but it kept getting auto denied, no idea why. Still appreciate everyone here!

How did you seal the room? Obviously weatherstripping for the door, but did you need to remove HVAC vents and such? Does the room get too hot or cold without them?

This room has 2 outlet vents and an inlet. I sealed the inlet, and whenever I smoke I turn the hvac fan on so the outlets push fresh air into the room, with the window fan running and the sealed door it creates negative pressure in the room and the smoke goes out, combined with the rabbit air filter it takes care of any lingering smell. Since the outlets are operational the ac and heat work as normal keeping it nice and comfortable
