I'm totally gutting and changing my media room in my basement to better utilize the space down here. Anyway the new room will only be 13 wide by 12 deep with all inwalls and a 50" plasma display so I'm busy at the moment putting in new walls and installing drywall etc.
I've been thinking about the front 'feature' wall though and what to do with it. The rear and sides will have Linacoustic covered with a red fabric up the first 36" with some sort of paint on the top half (unsure on colour yet but likely a grey) The ceiling tiles were painted dark grey previously so they'll stay as is. I was thinking of going with a darker grey on the front wall but that seems rather dull and would really darken the room so I began thinking of some nice wall murals and came across this from the Hubble Site. I have access to a photo quality plotter at work so it won't be a problem to blow these images up to cover most of the front wall (I'll double the images in photo shop to make them 40" square). On this front wall there would be the three in wall fronts, the 50" black plasma and a silver/black gear rack with glass shelves in the corner. I'm curious what other people think though of the idea?
